Eating Dehulled Adlay Every Day Helps Your Blood Pressure |
點閱次數: 307 |
| High blood pressure is a crucial risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, and a diet rich in whole-grain foods may modulate blood pressure. This study investigated the effects of dehulled adlay consumption on blood pressure and endothelium functions, and discovered that it could retard blood pressure increases over a 12-week experimental period in hypertensive animals. In an additional human trial, 23 participants with overweight and obese-consumed 60g of dehulled adlay daily for a six-week experimental period, and exhibited a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP). The change in SBP was even more evident in participants with high baseline SBP. A daily intake of 60g of dehulled adlay is therefore suggested as a replacement over some staple foods as it delivers beneficial effects for blood-pressure management.more |

Dragon Fruit Peel Extract Helps with Alcoholic Liver Disease! |
點閱次數: 324 |
| Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) has become a health problem as alcohol consumption has increased annually both in Taiwan and around the world. Hepatic lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation are important factors in the progression of ALD. Red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel is rich in polyphenols and betanins, which possess antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of red pitaya peel extract (PPE) on ALD, and explore the associated mechanisms. Laboratory mice were administered an ethanol liquid diet, which induced ALD, and PPE treatment was shown to reduce hepatic fat accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Thus, PPE may help prevent the progression of ALD.more |
