Flavonols were sub-class of phytonutrients (compouds chemical groups that can be found in plants and have numerous health benefits, but are not considered essential in humans). Although it is not believed to be important in humans, research has shown that they can help fight cancer, treat diabetes and more. In this article I will discuss three of the flavonols in more detail and outlining exactly how they can boost your health.
1) Gingerol:
Gingerol the flavonols, which are found in fresh ginger. Its main role in the body to boost the immune system (which allows your body to fight disease and infection effectively) and to prevent various types of cancer (including breast, colon and ovarian cancer). Provisional research suggests that Gingerol can also reduce unnecessary inflammation in the body and treating high blood pressure, but more information is needed before this temporary health benefits can be confirmed.
2) ISORHAMNETIN:
Isorhamnetin is a flavonol that can be found in various plant-based foods. Some of the best sources of the flavonol as almonds (7.05 milligrams (mg) per 100g), chives (6.75mg per 100g), dill weed 43.5mg per 100g) and turnip (between 5mg and 10mg per 100g ).
Isorhamnetin operates in the protective ability of the human body by preventing arteriosclerosis (hardening and loss of elasticity of the arteries), hypertension and various cancers (including esophageal cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer). It can also alleviate many of the complications associated with diabetes and keep your heart healthy.
3) kaempferol:
Is a flavonol kaempferol, which are found in fruits, vegetables, and even tea. Some of the richest food sources of flavonols are apples (0.02mg per 100g), black tea (1.31mg per 100g), blueberries (1.81mg per 100g) turnips (11.87mg per 100g), spinach (7.64mg per 100 g) .
In terms of health, kaempferol acts as an antidepressant and phytoestrogen (a compound that fights against the effects of estrogen and may help prevent cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis (decrease in bone mineral density)). It also prevents arteriosclerosis, heart disease and various cancers (including breast cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and prostate ).
SUMMARY:
Although flavonols are not considered essential for human health, they are still very beneficial to your body. As you can see Gingerol, isorhamnetin and kaempferol together can fight cancer, treat diabetes and more. So, if you currently do not eat foods rich in flavonols in this article, it is now time to start making some changes and adding them to your diet.
