Coffee is not the only of many joy of life. There is chocolate and wine, and if you are a hearty little freak, fruit, aka nature. Another thing they have a common feature – because they are delicious separate because of the existential pain of being – it is that they protect you from the metabolic syndrome. According to the up-to-date study, they can reduce the risk with a stunning 23%.
As reported Medical XpressThe article was recently published in And is the work of scientists from the Brazilian Medical University of São Paulo. Researchers wanted to examine the influence of polyphenols on a metabolic syndrome (shortened by scientists as “Metts”), described as “a cluster of metabolic irregularities and hormone changes”. Using data from Elsa-Brazil, a longitudinal health study of 15,000 participants since 2008, scientists were able to identify almost 6,400 relevant candidates.
As part of the survey, participants were asked questions about their level of consumption of various food products, including things luxurious in polyphenol, such as wine, chocolate, fruit and coffee. These data were then related to those who developed MetS, which “was diagnosed clinically when there are at least three of the following states: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides and high lipids.”
Of the 6,378 participants, a total of 2,031 has developed. When separating the group according to consumption levels, scientists found that the highest estimated level of polyphenol consumption, 469 mg per day, was associated with 23% reduced risk of METS compared to the lowest level of consumption, 177 mg per day. The study showed that in particular phenolic acid – polyphenol found in coffee, wine and tea – has a sturdy relationship with mets.
The study also showed the benefits of cardiometabolic disorders related to METS. Co -author for the study Renata Carnaúba:
The results have shown that the influence of polyphenols on metabolism and heart disease was far from insignificant. Regardless of various cardiometabolic risk factors, such as gender, age, smoking and physical activity, participants who consumed more polyphenols were up to 30 times less at high blood pressure or insulin resistance, and 17 times less likely that they have increased triglycerides.
So you have it. Coffee, wine, chocolate, strawberries. Everything is fine for you. To be straightforward, it sounds more like a recipe for a good time on Valentine’s Day than a recipe for good health.
