[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

Top 10 Cancer Fighting Superfoods

1. Broccoli
Eat your broccoli to reduce the risk of cancer. This cruciferous vegetable contains compounds called glucosinolates, which produce protective enzymes in the body.
One of these enzymes is sulforaphane that helps reduce cancer risk by flushing out cancer-causing chemicals. Sulforaphane also targets cancer stem cells that aid in tumor growth.

2. Green Tea
Green tea is a popular beverage that can help reduce the risk of various cancers. The compounds found in green tea, such as catechins, xanthine derivatives, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin, help prevent the development of cancerous cells. Green tea even helps prevent free radicals from damaging cells.

3. Tomatoes
This juicy fruit is a good source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cancer. Lycopene boosts the immune system and protects cells from damage.
It also stops abnormal cell growth. In addition, it is a good source of vitamins A, C and E, which prevent free-radical damage in the body.

4. Blueberries
Blueberries are rich in cancer-fighting phytonutrients and antioxidants. These berries neutralize free radicals that can damage cells and lead to diseases including cancer. They also contain vitamins C and K, manganese and dietary fiber, which also help in lowering cancer risk.

5. Ginger
Ginger also helps reduce the risk of various types of cancers. Its antioxidant property inhibits the growth of cancerous cells.
A 2007 study published in the BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine journal demonstrates ginger’s ability to combat ovarian cancer. It works by blocking the cancer from growing, limiting its ability to spread.

6. Garlic
Garlic contains components like sulfur as well as arginine, oligosaccharides, flavonoids and selenium, all of which may be beneficial to reduce the risk of various cancers. Regular garlic intake can slow down the progression of cancerous cell growth

7. Spinach

Spinach is a rich source of lutein, an antioxidant that plays a key role in guarding against cancer. In addition,the zeaxanthin and carotenoids in spinach protect your body from free-radical damage. The beta-carotene, vitamin A, folate and fiber in spinach also play a major role in preventing cancer.

8. Pomegranate

Another superfood that has anti-cancer benefits is pomegranate, which contains a good amount of antioxidants. This juicy fruit also has a mixture of phenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and tannins that help modulate cellular biochemistry.

9. Walnuts

Another superfood that reduces the risk of cancer is walnuts. These healthy nuts contain a good amount of polyphenols and phytochemicals that have antioxidant properties. They also are rich in anti-cancer compounds, such as ellagitannins, gamma-tocopherol, and alpha-linolenic acid.

10. Grapes

Both grapes as well as grape seed extracts are rich in the antioxidant resveratrol that offers anti-cancer benefits. It blocks the action of a protein that causes cancer growth. In addition, the anti-inflammatory properties of grapes prevent chronic oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, two main causes of cancer.

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss. With regular screening using the MPSII from Elektron Technology you can identify if you are at a high risk of developing AMD, and make changes to diet and lifestyle to prevent damage to your vision from occurring.

About Age-related Macular Degeneration
AMD damages the macula, and as the disease progresses it blurs the patient’s central vision, meaning that the sufferer can no longer see people’s faces. The most common form is dry AMD where the light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down. Untreated dry AMD can progress into wet AMD, which is caused by the abnormal growth of blood vessels under the macula, leading to rapid loss of central vision.

The first AREDS report showed that high-dose antioxidant vitamins and minerals taken orally reduced the risk of progression to advanced AMD by 25 per cent, and the risk of moderate vision loss by 19 per cent. The second report focuses on the benefits of supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin and is expected provide clinical evidence of its efficacy.

There is no cure for AMD, which is a major cause of sight loss, but delaying the onset of AMD is now thought to be possible with a combination of diet, lifestyle and nutritional supplements. When the results for AREDS2 are announced in Q2 2013 it is anticipated that GPs and opticians will see a surge in requests for AMD screening.

Electron Technology’s newest product, the Macular Pigment Screener (MPS II), is a new generation instrument for AMD screening.
