Foods Rich in Polyphenols Aid in the Prevention of Chronic Inflammation!



Diets rich in fruits and vegetables, which contain polyphenols, protect against age-related inflammation and chronic diseases......Polyphenols are abundant micronutrients in our diet, and evidence for their role in the prevention of degenerative diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases is already emerging. The health effects of polyphenols depend on the amount consumed and on their bioavailability.

Complex Bioactive Metabolism Needed For Polyphenol Benefits in Raspberries!

 

Red raspberries are rich in polyphenols but its health benefits can only be fully understood by studying how the body metabolises these micronutrients and the mode of action of the bioactive compounds that trigger these potential protective effects, a study has shown.

Polyphenols In Whole Foods Work Together!

Research has not demonstrated a very positive effect with supplements of polyphenols. This study shows that the most benefit of polyphenols for cancer prevention and oxidative stress reduction comes from them working together. Their benefits are more potent together compared to their activity individually!

Polyphenols in Green Tea and Apples Protect Health!

In this study, Dr Paul Kroon and his team at IFR have shown that polyphenols in green tea and apples block a signalling molecule called VEGF, which in the body can trigger atherosclerosis and is a target for some anti-cancer drugs.
