Lecithin strengthens the cardiovascular system
Lecithin is involved in the metabolism of fat and cholesterol. This is related to the presence in its molecule of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which bind to cholesterol and facilitate its transport and removal from the body. Action of lecithin is beneficial to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular diseases.
Lecithin reduces cholesterol, triglycerides, possesses anti-platelet and prevents accumulation of cholesterol in the blood vessels
Lecithin, by the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids bound cholesterol, makes it easier to transport and faster excretion of excess cholesterol from the body
Action of lecithin is beneficial to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular diseases.
Action of lecithin should also be associated with more efficient metabolism of cholesterol and a decrease in oxidative modification of LDL. Recent studies confirm the importance of inflammatory and immune factors in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Lecithin has immunostimulatory properties resistance and perhaps that also thereby inhibit the development of atherosclerosis.
Lecithin has also emulsifying effect - breaks down fats and cholesterol from food into small particles, which reduces the adhesion to platelets and blood vessel walls. All this prevents atherosclerosis and coronary blood clots that lead to very dangerous cardiovascular events
Lecithin is known for lowering levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. Some sources also indicate its ability to raise HDL cholesterol fraction that positively affects the health.
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL!
Active ingredients of Acai fruit:
Maintain an appropriate level of cholesterol in the blood
- Phytosterols in acai fruit reduce bad cholesterol in the blood by inhibiting its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Thanks to the structural similarity to cholesterol, phytosterols take its place in the micelles formed in the intestin, thus lower the amount of it is absorbed into the enterocytes (constituting cell lining of the intestinal mucosa).
- Properties of lowering cholesterol in the blood are also included in the Acai essential fatty acids - linoleic acid, oleic acid and dietary fiber.
Protect blood vessels
- Clearing the blood vessels, polyphenols prevent the formation of these cholesterol deposits hindering the flow of blood.
- Bioflavonoids, showing a particular affinity to the capillaries, provide them with flexibility, prevent brittleness and improve microcirculation.
Reduce platelet aggregation
- Flavonoids, by inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase and cyclooxygenase effectively reduce aggregation of blood platelets, which deposit on the walls of blood vessels results in the formation of blood clots.
Care of proper blood pressure
- This is due to, among others, ellagic acid and potassium, which preferably contribute to a proper blood pressure.
Contain ingredients good for the heart
- B vitamins: B1 - thiamine, B2 - riboflavin support proper functioning of the heart.
Are the antioxidant protection for cells
- Antioxidants in Acai fruit like phenolic compounds, vitamin E and vitamin B2, minerals, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium reducing damage to cell membranes made by free radicals, have a protective effect on the endothelium. Also they inhibit the oxidation of lipids, holding back the development of atherosclerosis.
Help maintain the metabolism of homocysteine
- In fact acai contains large amounts of folic acid and vitamin B6, which favorably affect the metabolism of homocysteine. In 2004. WHO (World Health Organisation) concluded that lowering homocysteine levels in the serum reduces the risk of atherosclerosis.
