Blueberries Protect Against Obesity

Blueberries, tasty, refreshing and very healthy. Now, researchers have discovered that blueberries can (called also blueberries), slowing the formation of fat cells and protect against obesity. Moreover, its positive effect in excessively high cholesterol levels, they strengthen the immune system and protect against night blindness and macular degeneration. Why blueberries are an ideal diet.

The figure is determined by genes and nutrition

In research about the ingredients of blueberries, American researchers discovered that the fruit contains secondary metabolites (polyphenols). These have primarily an antioxidant effect and strengthen the immune system. Their research was the Medic Shiwani Mogle from Texas women BB´s University in animal studies firmly, that these polyphenols reduced the formation of new fat cells. At the same time increased the lipolysis, the existing fat cells are removed. The fat tissue that got the highest dose of bilberry extract was 73 per cent lower than that of untreated control tissues. This - so the researcher - makes great hope, to suppress the formation of adipose tissue in the body.

So far, the research knows that the amount of fat a person has, is already set in the childhood and the adolescence. The genetic dependence and nutrition play the largest role. Even if you are on a diet, the number of these tiny fat stores in the body remains the same — they're just not very well filled. Because these cells store fat, formerly fat people take to respawn following a diet, as slim. This is the problem of the most diets and leads to the dreaded Yo-Yo effect.

Blueberries for obesity

You can probably break this vicious circle through an increased allocation of blueberries and their active ingredients. This means high hopes especially for young people who have a tendency toward obesity.

But the scientists have even a bigger hope:

Build up throughout our lives and are replaced by new - so that their number does not fall off our fat cells, their total number remains constant. When is now this ratio reduction: formation through the Pholyphenole of Blueberry in favour of dismantling move because the regeneration is slowed down - then may decrease the number of fat cells in adult humans: losing weight would take place and it would be easier.

Knowledge of the Blueberry

100 g blueberries have 42 kcal and 84 g water. To get 5 g dietary fiber and about eight g fructose. Blueberries contain no cholesterol, rich in vitamin C, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. Their plant pigments, the anthocyanins are particularly important for their natural healing properties. It has also many tannins.

The fresh berries stimulate digestion, while dried blueberries against diarrhea are good. Blueberries reduce cholesterol levels, without any side effects. Due to its tannins it can be used externally against skin inflammations. Their Proanthocyanidins to prevent bladder infections. Blueberries boost the immune system, protect against heart attack in cardiovascular problems. According to medical studies, it was recognized that they contain also a fabric lutein, which protects against night blindness and the macular degeneration.
