🥑 Discover the Plant-Powered Secrets to Naturally Lowering Cholesterol! 💚

Are you one of the millions struggling with high cholesterol? 🤔 Tired of relying on harsh prescription medications and their unpleasant side effects? 💊 Well, get ready to meet the plant-based trifecta that can help you take control of your heart health and cholesterol levels - naturally!

In this must-see post, we're revealing the powerful trio of berberine, plant sterols, and omega-3 fatty acids - the natural superstars that can work wonders for lowering your LDL (bad) cholesterol, raising your HDL (good) cholesterol, and supporting overall cardiovascular wellness. 🌱

Berberine is a natural compound found in plants like goldenseal and barberry, and studies show it can be just as effective as prescription medications in lowering cholesterol. 💪 It works by reducing the production of cholesterol in the liver and enhancing the removal of LDL from your bloodstream.

Plant sterols, on the other hand, are compounds that are structurally similar to cholesterol. They help block the absorption of cholesterol in your gut, making them a powerful ally in your quest for healthier numbers. You can find plant sterols in nuts, seeds, and certain fortified foods.

And let's not forget about the mighty omega-3s from fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines. These healthy fats have been shown to lower triglycerides, raise HDL cholesterol, and reduce inflammation - all crucial factors in maintaining optimal heart health.

Imagine being able to naturally lower your cholesterol without relying on harsh drugs and their potential side effects. 💊 This plant-powered trio can help you do just that, and they're so easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Don't let high cholesterol weigh you down any longer. Embrace the power of nature and take control of your heart health with these game-changing solutions. Share this post with all your family and friends who need it too!

~ ~~~ Plant sterols , what are they? ~~~ They are natural substances made in plants sych as vegetables, fruits, wheat germ, whole grains, beans, sunflower seeds, and many vegetable oils. ~~~ They contribute to the maintenance of healthy  blood cholesterol levels. ~~~ Cholesterol is naturally produced and discharged in bile to aid digestion and then reabsorbed in the gut. ~~~ Plant sterols look similar  to cholesterol in the way they act, they prevent the body from absorbing cholesterol in the intestine, by blocking cholesterol from being reabsorbed from the gut. ~~~ By blocking the reabsorbtion of cholesterol,  plant sterols has a positive effect on lowering blood levels of LDL cholesterol. ~~~ Modern diets lack and tend to be low in plant sterols. To achieve optimum intake, one needs to increase levels by consuming a range of nutritional supportive foods, and on occasion include a nutrient supplement. ~~~ Consuming a diet high in soluble fibre can help lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol ▪Garlic ▪Ginseng ▪Guggul ▪Niacin ( B3) ▪Vitamin E ~~~ Remember to consult your health practitioner before taking any supplements or a diet change making  sure you are interferin with other health conditions you may have or medication you are taking. . . . . #plantsterols #planbased #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfood #wholeplantbased #wholeplantfoods #wholeplant #wholefoodsplantbased #plantbasedwholefoods #wholefoodplantbased #healthtips #vegetableoil #cholesterol #bile #intestines #ldlcholesterol #nutrientsupplement #lowdensitylipoprotein #garlic #ginseng #guggul #niacin #vitaminb3 #vitamine #beans #wheatgerm #wholegrain #sunflowerseeds #vegetables #veggies (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5K2IhSJ00F/?igshid=e0pvpuzpp68a

6 Tahini Benefits

6 Tahini Benefits

1. High in Healthy Fats and Amino Acids

Compared to other nuts and seeds, sesame seeds have one of the highest oil contents by weight — which is why tahini is exceptionally silky smooth compared to other nut butters (like peanut or almond butter). Sesame seeds contain up to 55 percent oil and 20 percent protein, exactly why they’re well-known for providing both healthy fats and certain essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein). (2)

While it might be a high-calorie food based on volume, a small amount of tahini goes a long way. It has a rich, nutty flavor that comes through strongly in recipes, plus tahini can benefit your heart, hormonal and skin health even when you use just a small amount. Most of sesame seeds’ fat is polyunsaturated fat, while a small amount is monounsaturated and saturated. Roughly 50 percent to 60 percent of the fat within tahini is made up of two beneficial compounds: sesamin and sesamolin.

Tahini also contains phenolic compounds, linoleic acid, oleic acid, gamma-tocopherol, and amino acids including lysine, tryptophan and methionine. Sesame seeds are around about 20 percent protein by weight, making them a higher protein food than most other seeds or nuts.

2. Great Source of Essential Vitamins & Minerals

Tahini is a great way to obtain B vitamins like thiamine, along with minerals, including magnesium, copper, phosphorus, manganese, iron and zinc. Adding tahini to recipes is a good way to get your daily copper — which is needed to maintain nerve, bone and metabolic health — and prevent copper deficiency. The iron in tahini helps prevent anemia, which is a disorder characterized by low red blood cell counts, iron deficiency and fatigue. And B vitamins within tahini are important for metabolic functions, dealing with stress and many cognitive processes.

Another important attribute of sesame seeds their plant lignans content. Lignans have been shown to have anticancer effects and heart-promoting abilities. Studies have found that precursors from sesame seeds are converted by the bacterial flora in the colon to mammalian lignans equivalent to those obtained from flaxseeds, which have always been thought of as the best lignan source. (3)

3. Helps Regulate Blood Pressure & Cholesterol

Sesamolin and sesamin prevalent in sesame seeds have been found to have antithrombotic properties, meaning sesame might help prevent cardiovascular diseases tied to disruptive effects and legions within the arteries, such as acute coronary syndrome and cardiovascular death. (4)

Phytosterols are a type of nutrient found in sesame seeds that have effects on hormonal levels, arterial health and cholesterol levels. The majority of the plantsterols in tahini are called beta-sitosterol. Sesame seeds rank highest in cholesterol-lowering phytosterols among 27 different nuts, seeds, legumes and grains tested (400 grams of phytosterols per every 200 grams of seeds)!

Although sesame seeds are high in fat and calories, this isn’t a bad thing when it comes to heart health. Research suggests that phytosterols can be used to treat arteriosclerosis, a disease characterized by fatty buildup within the arteries. Phytosterols are able to help regulate cholesterol in the body because they have a similar structure to cholesterol, which means they can help replace some of it and block its absorption within the intestinal tract. This decreases the amount of absorbable cholesterol within the bloodstream and is beneficial for people suffering from certain heart complications.

Sesame seeds used to make tahini are also high in plant lignans, which help improve blood lipid profiles and can normalize cholesterol and blood pressure. Research shows that lignans help lower cholesterol naturally, both serum blood cholesterol and liver cholesterol levels. This means they have positive effects on total cholesterol, lowering LDL cholesterol (the so called “bad kind”) and improving the LDL-to-HDL cholesterol ratio. (5)

If you suffer from high blood pressure, tahini can help with that too. Sesame seeds have antihypertensive properties according to studies investigating the effects of sesame taken by adults with high blood pressure. A 2006 study published in The Yale Journal of Biology And Medicine followed 32 hypertensive patients over the course of 45 days as they used sesame oil as their only form of dietary oil. Researchers found that over the 45 days sesame oil helped significantly lower blood pressure, decrease lipid peroxidation and increase antioxidant status in the majority of patients. (6)

4. Can Help Balance Hormones (Especially in Menopausal Women)

Phytoestrogens are a controversial topic, especially when it comes to their effects on hormones. Phytoestrogens both mimic estrogen and act as estrogen antagonists (meaning they behave in the opposite way of biological estrogen), which makes them a bit confusing to understand. They affect the body by attaching to estrogen receptors, which tricks your body into thinking you have more or less estrogen than you really do. It’s not so cut-and-dry as to say whether or not phytoestrogens are either good or bad, but studies show they do have their benefits.

Estrogen-building foods usually get a bad reputation — and for good reason, considering the standard American diet tends to be high in foods that promote estrogen dominance, which is problematic. But not all of phytoestrogens’ effects are bad. For certain people, especially in post-menopausal women over 50 or women who are otherwise low in estrogen, phytoestrogen foods can actually be beneficial because they naturally balance hormones, help maintain strong bones, and lower the risk for various diseases like cancer and osteoporosis. (7)

Dietary estrogens seem to be most protective for women during menopause, a time in which a woman transitions from her last menstrual cycle, ends fertility and experiences adjustments in hormone levels, especially estrogen and progesterone. Purposefully increasing phytoestrogen intake isn’t a good idea for most people and might be harmful, but it can also help counteract the effects of hormonal imbalances that women begin to experience as they get older. Some studies have found that increased phytoestrogens help drastically reduce menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, bone loss, weakness, mood changes, low sex drive, etc.

There’s even some evidence that phytoestrogen foods are protective against cancers related to hormone production in some cases. Phytoestrogens have been studied in connection with breast and ovarian cancers, with many studies showing positive results.

5. Helps Improve Skin Health

Sesame seeds are a good source of amino acids, vitamin E, B vitamins, trace minerals and fatty acids that all help with skin cell rejuvenation and preventing early signs of aging. While you might not want to go slathering tahini directly on your skin, even eating tahini can help improve the integrity of your skin by boosting your fat and nutrient intake.

Sesame oil has been used to treat skin wounds, burns, sensitivities and dryness for thousands of years, which is why it’s sometimes called “the queen of oils.” (8) It is a natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent, meaning it kills bacteria that can clog pores. Healthy fats in general are key for skin health because fats are needed to lower inflammation and keep skin moist. Tahini also provides minerals like zinc, which are needed to repair damaged tissue and produce collagen that gives skin its youthful elasticity and firmness.

6. Boosts Nutrient Absorption

Studies have found that sesame seeds help boost absorption of protective fat-soluble compounds like tocopherol, the major nutrients within vitamin E that play a role in the prevention of human aging-related diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. When researchers tested the effects of sesame seed consumption in humans over a five day period, they found that sesame (but not walnuts or soy oil) significantly elevated serum gamma-tocopherol levels by an average of 19.1 percent in subjects. The fact that sesame leads to elevated plasma gamma-tocopherol and enhanced vitamin E bioactivity means it might be effective for preventing inflammation, oxidative stress and therefore chronic disease development.

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" By Israel Kamakawiwoʻole How to Eat The Rainbow (Lifehacker.com) When someone says "eat the rainbow," they're trying to explain, in a simplified way, that the color of your food can tell you a lot about its nutritional value, and eating a variety of colors is one sure method to get as many of those vitamins and minerals as possible (and eat a broad, diverse amount of food in the process.) The phrase is actually an oversimplification of a real issue. It's not difficult to get the vitamins and nutrients you need from a solid, balanced diet, but it can be difficult if you're a picky eater, or have children who don't exactly like to expand their horizons. In fact, much of the documentation that uses the phrase is aimed at parents helping children adopt a more healthful diet. Certain colors of food indicate an abundance of specific nutrients. For example, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables (citrus fruits, gourds, for example) are abundant in vitamins C and A. Green fruits and veggies (kale, spinach, asparagus, avocado) are high in vitamins K, B, and E. Purple produce on the other hand (eggplant, red cabbage, grapes) are high in vitamins C and K. The reason you can tell these from looking is because plants often derive their colors from various phytochemicals found in them. Those chemicals then offer you different nutrients when they're eaten. That's the root of "eating the rainbow." In short, adding a variety of colorful produce to your diet is an easy way to get a lot of vitamins and minerals without putting in too much effort beyond selecting a bunch of colors. #ukelele #somewhereovertherainbow #wizardofoz #landofoz #judygarland #feelgoodmusic #gym #fitness #exercise #workout #healthyliving #obesity #weightmanagement #hawaii #hawaiianmusic #athlete #mentalhealth #sportsperfomance #humanitywarrior #mentalhealth #athleticeatery #toronto #tastetherainbow #mentalvacation #antioxidants #eattherainbow #phytochemicals #bioflavanoids #plantsterols #oxidativestress

According to a new study in the Journal of Agricultural Food and Chemistry, drinking watermelon juice before a hard workout helped reduce athletes' heart rate and next-day muscle soreness. That's because watermelon is rich in an amino acid called L-citrulline, which the body converts to L-arginine, an essential amino acid that helps relax blood vessels and improve circulation. The study's seven participants, all men, were given 17 ounces (500 mL) of either natural watermelon juice, watermelon juice enriched with additional citrulline, or a placebo drink an hour before their workouts. Interestingly, the natural juice was just as effective as the enriched juice. The researchers also determined that intestinal cells can absorb more citrulline from watermelon juice than from citrulline supplements, especially when the juice is unpasteurized.

Stairs N pears! (Www. Stepjockey.Com) *Stair climbing is officially classed as a ‘vigorous exercise’ and burns more calories per minute than jogging. *A medium pear has about 100 calories. *Stair climbing requires 8-9 times more energy expenditure than sitting and burns about 7 times more calories than taking an elevator *Pears used to be called “butter fruit” for its soft, butter-like texture *You burn about 0.17 calories for every step you climb, so you burn roughly a calorie and a half for every 10 upward steps. *A medium pear has about 100 calories. *For buildings with five floors or less, it’s nearly always quicker to take the stairs. Studies show office workers save up to 15 minutes a day by taking the stairs. *The Chinese considered the pear, which they call “li,” to be a symbol of immortality. The destruction of a pear tree symbolized tragic or untimely death. *As well as guarding against heart disease, diabetes, stroke and some cancers, stair climbing releases endorphins that produce feelings of wellbeing. *Professional skiers often climb stairs to keep competition-fit. Many models do the same to keep their legs toned for the catwalk. *Before tobacco was introduced in Europe, pear leaves were smoked. *The biggest variable in stair climbing is your weight. The heavier you are, the more calories you burn. *Just 7 minutes stair climbing a day has been estimated to more than half the risk of a heart attack over 10 years. #pears #gym #fitness #health #nutrition #food #sportsperformance #athlete #stairs #stairclimbing #cardio #hearthealth #plantsterols #antioxidants #workout #fruit #vegan #pyrus #rosaceae #sportsnutrition #butterfruit #ancient #china #tobacco #calories #proathletes #vigorousexercise #athleticeatery #toronto #the 6ix

FACTS ABOUT LIMES There are a number of species of limes, including ‘Key’, ‘kaffir’, ‘desert’, ‘sweet’ and ‘Persian’, and they have various scientific names, while the Persian species are seedless and are the most commonly available Most species of limes are believed to be native to Asia, and they were first grown extensively for financial purposes in the ancient civilisation Babylon The antibacterial properties of the Kaffir lime extend to the skin, too. In a 2014 study, researchers found that essential oil from the Kaffir lime could stop acne-causing bacteria. The oil also reduced scarring from acne and assisted in healing blemishes. This natural remedy is an option worth trying if you want to improve your skin. Lime’s bacteria-fighting abilities also enable the fruit to fight cholera, according to one study. Bacteria that cause cholera often travel in food. In West Africa, where cholera outbreaks have happened in recent history, researchers found that feeding affected people lime juice with rice killed the dangerous bacteria. #fruit #vegan #lime #citrus #rawdiet #antibacterial #plantsterol #antioxidants#skincare #kaffirlime #cholera #limejuicewithrice #cleaneating #healthyliving #fruitphotography #fruitart #nutrition #gym #fitness #sportsperformance #dietregimen #fitfam #foodie #physicalculture #foodart #athlete #fitnesstips #weightloss #athleticeatery #toronto
