Abstract in brief

  • Spinach is considered a functional food because it contains nutrients, phytochemicals, and bioactives that promote health beyond basic nutrition, helping to prevent diseases like cancer, obesity, and cardiovascular issues.
  • The health benefits of spinach are due to its ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species, regulate gene activity related to metabolism and inflammation, and promote satiety hormones, which collectively contribute to its anti-cancer, anti-obesity, and blood sugar-lowering effects.
  • Despite its health benefits, spinach consumption remains low compared to other greens, and research focuses on understanding how its bioactive compounds work at the molecular level to provide these protective effects in cell, animal, and human studies.]
