The fight against high cholesterol has recently become the number 1 trend in the growing healthy lifestyle movement. People of different ages strive to eat right, instill in themselves healthy habits that allow them to maintain health and prolong youth, as well as prevent the development of chronic diseases. The problem of high cholesterol potentially faces everyone, but it becomes especially acute with the approach of middle age, as well as among residents of large cities, who often lead a sedentary lifestyle and abuse junk food.
In general, the body needs cholesterol, but the formula “too much good is bad” works here. Excess cholesterol is known to lead to the development of problems with the heart and blood vessels. To minimize the risks of “bad cholesterol” for yourself, you should change your lifestyle fundamentally – follow a diet, play sports, give up bad habits. Not everyone is ready to change their lives at once and abruptly enter into restrictions. And for the preparatory period, as a simple measure to combat high cholesterol, there are fairly simple rules.
After studying the results of scientific research, nutritionists have adopted one natural dietary supplement that has proven to be very effective in fighting “bad cholesterol”. It is worth adding the juice of this fruit to the water while drinking, and the result will not be long in coming, writes the portal EatThis, NotThat !.
It’s about noni, it’s also citrus-leaved morinda. In nature, it is a small tree of the madder family, common in the South Pacific region. Its fruits look like smooth buds with expressionless tweezers, they are edible, although they are bitter and have a pungent odor. But what can’t you do for the sake of health! Fresh noni fruits are not easy to find if you are not a resident of Vietnam, but in the form of powders they are distributed all over the world, as well as noni juice separately.
Studies show that the substances in noni are effective against osteoarthritis, against potentially carcinogenic free radicals, and are rich in vitamin C.
“One experiment showed that heavy smokers who regularly drank noni juice for a month significantly reduced their risk of developing a heart attack. More precisely, their levels of ‘bad cholesterol’ and fats were significantly reduced,” says EatThis, NotThat!
Another study – on nonsmokers – showed that noni juice led to a decrease in blood sugar, an increase in metabolism, and a normalization of blood pressure. It also reduced the risk of weight gain by increasing the level of ghrelin, the satiety hormone.
In other words, nutritionists advise drinking noni juice every day, because its benefits for the body are undeniable. One problem is that it is rather bitter, but if you mix a small amount of juice with plain water, this useful habit will not cause any unpleasant emotions, the portal sums up.
