By Dr. Rachelle Tetreault
Polyphenols are micronutrients that naturally occur in many medicinal herbals in concentrated forms. They are also found in fruits, vegetables, tea leaves, and a variety of spices from around the world. Research has shown that not only they help overall reduce chronic inflammation which is the root cause for almost all diseases but keeps our blood vessels healthy preventing major risks for heart disease, regulating blood glucose sugar levels, managing blood pressure levels, and keeping us younger longer. We know that polyphenols have chemoprotective properties which act to suppress even cancer cell proliferation by inhibiting metabolic enzymes. The benefits of these plant extracts have played a part in protecting the liver, preventing cardiovascular disease, reducing risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers, and also gastrointestinal health like in ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Certain polyphenols like flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, and terpenoids can interact with free radicals which ultimately lengthens cell health. So there is no wonder that these plants also are used for overall good health and beauty aids as well. Many Traditional Chinese Medicinal herbals have been shown to greatly reduce inflammation, anti-oxidation, anti-apoptysis, and even cell degradation.
These polyphenols from herbal extracts combined with optimum nutrition can be the foundation for the fountain of youth as far as beauty secrets are concerned. Optimum nutrition has basic principles which include seeds, grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Complete proteins are found in sesame seeds, millet, soybeans, buckwheat, and sunflower seeds. When eaten mostly raw and sprouted, or even cooked contain essential nutrients needed for prevention of disease and premature aging. Raw, unfiltered honey, cold-pressed vegetable oils, whole natural foods grown without chemicals all play an important role in ensuring good health and good skin, heart, and vitality. Basic breathing exercises remove toxins from the body and frees the mind from added stress which plays havoc on inflammatory cytokine increase in the body.
Certain foods such as garlic, ginger, and chili neutralize and disperse accumulated toxins in the body. Excessive hot fatty yang foods like high meat diets can cause heat energy excess resulting in heartburn, congestion, and stagnation in the body. Yin foods which include watermelon, pears, squash, lemons, and cabbage can help prevent yang disease like hypertension and inflammatory issues in the body. A good balance is needed and dependent on constitution of each individual, a diet should be adjusted accordingly for best results. Proper guidance to individual food therapy based off individual need and constitution can be overseen by your Eastern Medicine or Holistic Health practitioner to ensure you are getting optimal sustenance for what your body needs to ensure longevity and good health.
