A method supporting children choosing healthy foods in alternate form (desserts) to help them to increase their intake of fruits and vegetables by focusing on body functions (strength, vision, movement, memory, digestion, and all-in-one). The method uses special packaging approaches that associate healthy foods disguised as desserts, candy, chips, chewing gum, or frozen treats. This method would include body function labeled packaging in the form of pods, flaps, or sleeves that are engaging ways for quick lunch options for children. Children would have the freedom to choose a labeled pod, flap, or sleeve to help to improve their selected body function. Body function options could include superfoods in dessert form for strength, vision, movement, memory, digestion, and all-in-one.

It is disclosed a food mixture, in particular a food mixture comprising hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, and soluble fibres. In particular, the present invention relates to a food mixture comprising: —a fraction (a) which comprises soluble fibres; —a powdered fraction (b) which comprises at least 100 mg/kg hydroxytyrosol and at least 250 mg/kg oleuropein where said amounts refer to said powdered fraction (b). Said food mixture finds application, moreover, in the preparation of bread, pasta, and baked goods in general. The invention also describes food products which contain this mixture, a process for the preparation thereof, as well as the uses thereof in human and animal nutrition, in the treatment and in the prevention of inflammatory conditions and in the reduction of postprandial glycaemia.

The present invention relates to a composition including plant extracts. The composition according to the present invention has a blood circulation improvement effect by restoring nitric oxide (NO) reduced by oxLDL, has a cholesterol improvement effect by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis, has an anti-obesity effect by promoting breakdown of triglycerides, has an immune function improvement effect by increasing interferon gamma, has a female menopause improvement effect by activating estrogen signaling, has an anti-allergic effect by inhibiting IgE that causes allergies, has a blood glucose control effect by promoting intracellular glucose uptake, has a cognitive function improvement effect by inhibiting beta-secretase activity, has a liver health improvement effect by restoring liver cell viability decreased by alcohol (ethanol) treatment, and has an andropause improvement effect by activating androgen signaling. Due to these characteristics, the composition may be used as a pharmaceutical, food, or health functional food composition.
