The Benefits of Polyphenols
Apr 05, 2022
Do you know the benefits of Polyphenols?
Polyphenals are phytochemicals naturally found in plants that help keep them strong and viable. When eaten, they also provide antioxidants and have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body.
Foods high in polyphenals include tea, red wine, dark chocolate and the following:
Coffee - While there is mixed research on the benefits of coffee, it is believed that coffee provides polyphenols and antioxidants. It also supports healthy microbiome and boosts fat.
Fruits and vegetables - This is the healthiest way to get polyphenals. You always want to opt for varied colors and flavors, whole foods and freshness.
Olives and extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) - Olives and EVOO contain inflammatory properties and help with cholesterol synthesis.
It's important to pay attention to the cooking and preparation of high polyphenol foods, because the method can influence the amount of polyphenols consumed.
Things to be aware of include:
Aging - such as wine or tea - can increase content, but aging fruit has fewer polyphenals.
Cooking onions and tomatoes can reduce content up to 80%.
Microwaving and frying can also reduce content.

As a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner, I run functional lab work to help identify HIDDEN stressors and dysfunctions that are downgrading health and creating or contributing toĀ Metabolic Chaosā„¢, which describes what's going on inside that is producing unwanted symptoms.
Once healing opportunities are identified through carefully selected labs and a thorough history, only then can individualized, time-honored natural protocols be recommended that will change how well the body functions. When improvements are made, true healing occurs.
I am opening up 5 coaching opportunities at the end of August, at the lowest cost possible.
I don't want you to miss this healing opportunity.
