2. kale, good source of lutein, a protective agent of view. Some studies show that people who eat foods rich in lutein appear to have a lower incidence of macular degeneration;

3. tomatoes, tomatoes contain lycopene the most powerful antioxidant among the carotenoids. For better absorption of lycopene is necessary that this substance is released from the cells of tomato, it is absorbed more readily from cooked tomatoes.

Eating fruit:

1. Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme known anti-inflammatory properties by digestion;

2. berries contain antioxidants, anthocyanins and flavonoids that help neutralize free radicals;

3. pear pears are an excellent source of antioxidants and pectin. A soluble fiber that can remove heavy metals from the body and reduce cholesterol levels, if possible, it is better to eat the pear with the skin provides antioxidants such as hydroxycinnamic acids, which are thought to block the formation of certain carcinogens;

4. blueberry, rich in phenolic acids and flavonoids that have a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory action also play against the capillaries, blocking the free radicals that make them permeable. One serving of blueberries can make all the benefits listed above is 65 grams. During the day, drinking green tea teapot Green tea contains epicatechin, highly soluble and easily absorbed, with antioxidant properties, antithrombotic, antibacterial, antiviral and immunomodulatory activities.
An infusion of at least two minutes free the maximum amount of these substances in the boiling liquid. Even a cup of green tea per day causes a significant increase in antioxidant activity. With 4 or 5 cups, however, provide the greatest benefit. Among the varieties of green tea on the market preference Bancha tea from notes antioxidant properties and less rich in protein.

The study examined 1,604 people from the south-west London in England, Limburg in Belgium and Abruzzo in Italy.

The participants underwent a general medical examination and a blood sample. They also answered a detailed questionnaire on their lifestyle including dietary habits and consumption of alcoholic beverages. The results are striking: a moderate alcohol consumption increases because the amount of omega-3 in blood and red blood cells.
The importance of omega -3 is universally recognized, the substances are contained in some types of fish, protective against cardiovascular disease and sudden death.
The study finds that people who drink moderate amounts of alcohol, a glass of wine a day for women and two men (as suggested by the guidelines) have a higher concentration of omega-3 in plasma and red blood cells, regardless of the amount of fish consumed.
The mechanism is not yet fully known but are believed to be the polyphenols and alcohol in itself to allow the increase of omega-3.
Polyphenols belong to the class of antioxidants contained in a wide variety of foods and beverages, including wine.
These natural compounds, believed to be capable of reducing oxidative stress caused by free radicals, were not so far been associated with levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood.]]> 2011-06-27T15:20:39+01:00 2011-06-27T15:20:39+01:00 0 http://www.italianfoodlover.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=8#commenti http://www.italianfoodlover.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=7 2011-06-27T15:13:56+01:00

Helping the memory is not the only benefit due to the introduction of moderate amounts of wine, remember that the presence of "resveratrolo" helps protect the heart from diseases against him.
In addition, an Italian study in 1999 on a sample of post menopausal women who took 100 mg of trans-resveratrol per day (equivalent dose to a cup and a half for lunch and dinner) for six months, showed a significant increase in the density bone.]]> 2011-06-27T15:13:56+01:00 2011-06-27T15:13:56+01:00 0 http://www.italianfoodlover.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=7#commenti http://www.italianfoodlover.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=6 2011-06-27T15:06:50+01:00 olive oil is now considered an essential element for the treatment and prevention of various diseases.

Decreases by about 30% chance of heart attack and decreases blood pressure.
The polyphenols and vitamin E found in olive oil, thanks to their antioxidant action, helping to prevent atherosclerosis and slow down the aging of cells. As reported by several studies, data exist that link the use of extra virgin olive oil with a reduction of some types of cancer, primarily for breast.
In addition, mortality due to cancer is higher in Northern European countries compared to countries in the Mediterranean area.]]> 2011-06-27T15:06:50+01:00 2011-06-27T15:06:50+01:00 0 http://www.italianfoodlover.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=6#commenti http://www.italianfoodlover.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=5 2011-06-27T15:01:36+01:00 Olive oil, unlike all other oils that are obtained from seeds, is the only one that is obtained from the fruit of the plant.

Olive oil, the article mentions, has an anti-inflammatory and is similar to ibuprofen, and more generally to anti-inflammatory drugs commonly used in medicine for their powerful analgesic effect. Even if the two molecules are structurally dissimilar, both substances produce irritation of the throat, interdict and the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) *. The enzyme cyclooxygenase catalyzes one of the first stages of the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins, potent mediators of inflammatory remarried. A dose of 50 grams of olive oil would appear to provide 10% of the analgesic effect produced by a dose of ibuprofen. It is therefore actually quite modest when compared with those of a single dose of anti-inflammatory. However, the authors conclude the article claiming that the recent findings raise the possibility that many of the positive properties of olive oil in combating certain types of illness can be traced to the ability to fight dell'oleocantale the activity of cyclooxygenase.]]> 2011-06-27T14:55:25+01:00 2011-06-27T14:55:25+01:00 0 http://www.italianfoodlover.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=4#commenti
