[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.

It’s not cold out yet, but we’ll soon be getting our soup on once Fall arrives! Here’s a great Cream of Broccoli Soup WITHOUT the Dairy.

In a large soup pot:

Saute one white or yellow onion in a little water or coconut oil, until soft.

Add in 3-5 slices garlic cloves – depends on your taste. Saute a few minutes. Watch for burning.

Add 2 heads fresh broccoli – chopped. Saute for a few minutes as you mix up the garlic and onions within pot.

Add enough water to fill up to top of the veggie OR use less if you want a very thick soup.

Add 4 tablespoons veggie broth powder.

Bring it all to a light simmer – don’t boil it to death!

Then transfer the veggies and liquid to a high speed blender. Blend until super smooth. Pour the soup back into pot (careful, it’s hot!).

Final 2 ingredients, and they are optional to mix in before you bring back to a simmer:

1/4 – 1/2 cup coconut cream (that is just the super thick creamy part at the top of a can of coconut milk – don’t use the runny water part)

2 tablespoons corn starch OR flour

Whisk that all up as you heat up.

Serve once cooled down with your favor herbs on top – I added salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and sage.

Cette vidéo montre le rebond d’une goutte sur la surface d’un fluide de même nature vibré. Lorsque l’on dépose une goutte d’huile sur une couche d’huile, le phénomène que l’on observe habituellement est la coalescence, c’est à dire que la goutte fusionne avec la couche de liquide. Dans cette expérience, développée initialement par l’équipe d’Y. Couder à Paris, l’oscillation de la couche d’huile permet de renouveler le film d’air séparant la goutte d’huile qui rebondit de la surface. Dans ces conditions, on observe un système constitué de la goutte et de l’onde de surface qu’elle crée et sur laquelle elle rebondit. Lorsque l’on dépose plusieurs gouttes, elles tendent à s’organiser de manière cristalline. Si l’on augmente l’amplitude de vibration de la couche de fluide, les gouttes se mettent à se déplacer ; on peut alors observer pour la goutte, localisée, une dynamique reflétant l’onde étendue qui lui sert de support. Ce système macroscopique permet aux chercheurs, par analogie, de sonder les propriétés de systèmes quantiques.
