Abstract

Background: "Probiotic" and "prebiotic" are modern technical categories with consensus definitions that require specific This review synthesizes research on specific foods like avocado, seabuckthorn, panneer poo, oats, and guava in the management of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease to address gaps in understanding their bioactive roles and guideline integration. The review aimed to evaluate bioactive compound profiles, benchmark dietary guidelines, synthesize clinical and epidemiological evidence, compare mechanistic pathways, and deconstruct practical dietary strategies. Literature from randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and systematic reviews across multiple continents was analyzed using a comparative framework emphasizing biochemical, clinical, and guideline data. Key findings indicate that avocado and oats contain monounsaturated fatty acids, beta-glucan, and phenolics that improve lipid profiles, blood pressure, and glycemic control, with avocado showing sex- specific diabetes risk reduction and oats demonstrating consistent cholesterol lowering. Sea buckthorn exhibits anti-inflammatory and lipid-modulating effects via PPARγ-LXRα pathways, though clinical evidence remains preliminary. Integration into dietary guidelines is established for avocado, oats, and guava, while panneer poo lacks substantive research. Practical application varies by food accessibility and cultural factors. These findings collectively highlight the potential of these foods as accessible dietary interventions targeting metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors. The review underscores the need for standardized guidelines and large-scale trials to optimize clinical recommendations and public health strategies...
