The correlation between diet and many of the most common diseases in the world, such as blood sugar and high cholesterol, is now more than established.
As is known, glycaemia represents the level of glucose, that is the sugars, present in the circulatory system, which in a healthy organism is kept under control through the development of morphine.
By high cholesterol we mean an imbalance between the values of “good” and “bad” cholesterol in the arteries: when the latter has the “upper hand”, the arteries are gradually blocked and the normal flow of blood is hindered.
Antioxidant capacity
Food, as part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle, can have a great influence on both of these conditions. Above all, they are foods with high antioxidant capacities, that is, with molecules capable of slowing down or preventing oxidation, making the work of free radicals less incident. As far as glucose is concerned, for example, a massive dose of oxidation is assimilated, with consequent deterioration of the cells. Antioxidants have just this function, and therefore are very important for our body.
