[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 starts out as a crazy dream: Leave everything behind and start over in a foreign place?

When travel writer Wendy Dale does exactly that, turning a far-fetched idea into a way-one plane ticket, she finds herself in a Third World country much stranger than she ever imagined. Llama meat is a dietary staple, coca leaves are chewed as often as Chiclets, and the task of hiring an electrician or maid — even a witch — means simply picking someone out from the lineup on the street corner. As Wendy struggles to adapt to the rhythms of her new life, she makes a host of embarrassing cultural gaffes, enough to discourage even the most experienced of world travelers.

But Wendy is not your everyday adventurer. A respected Random House travel author, she is famous for finding humor even in the worst of situations. In Bolivia, she learns that ordering “a Coke to go” means getting a soft drink poured into a plastic bag. The task of furnishing her house entails a visit to a prison — inmates earn their keep by selling handmade tables, chairs, and barbecue grills to anyone in need of a home makeover.

But there are deeper revelations as well. As Wendy attempts to make a life for herself in her adopted country, even simple challenges cause her to reflect, not only on Bolivian norms, but also on the home she left behind. Little by little, Wendy comes to terms with the fact that facing the unfamiliar may not be such a crazy idea after all. In the end, sometimes you have to give up everything you know in order to find yourself.

Livin’ Bolivian. There are moments when your life stops being just a series of events — and starts to become an adventure.
