Phytosterols vs Kolesterol
Phytosterols are sterols with structural and biochemical properties similar to cholesterol. This "fatoid" is widely found in the roots, stems, leaves and fruits of plants. Although phytosterols "look" similar to cholesterol, they compete with each other in the human body. The higher the dietary intake of phytosterols, the lower the absorption rate of cholesterol and the lower the serum cholesterol level. Elevated cholesterol can cause blood vessel blockage and disease.
Miksuba Permezz tad-Dieta
The excellent cholesterol "nemesis" such as phytosterols cannot be synthesized autonomously in human cells. The only way is through dietary intake. As their name suggests, Phytosterols are widely found in plants in nature. Foods high in phytosterols include vegetable oils, dried beans, and nuts in the daily diet. In cereal foods, the content of phytosterols in flour is relatively high, about 47-76 mg of phytosterols per 100 grams of flour. The finer the flour is processed, the lower the phytosterol content, namely whole wheat flour ﹥ standard flour ﹥ rich and strong flour ﹥ dumpling flour.
