Abstract
The concept of the food and medicine continuum caters to the societal demand for healthful eating but remains underutilized in its application to food.This paper offers a definition of the food and medicine continuum,elucidates its origins and the evolution of its applications from ancient to modern times on a global scale,pinpoints the challenges that have emerged throughout its progression,and suggests appropriate strategies to advance the integration of food and medicine continuum substances into the inter-national health market.We anticipate that this study will serve as a roadmap for future inquiries into the nutritional and therapeutic potential of dual-purpose food-medicine substances within the food and healthcare sectors.
