Three good news facts to start your week.
1. Chocolate is good for your heart.
Eating chocolate once a week lowers your risk of heart disease by 8%. The polyphenols and flavonoids in cocoa seem to keep blood vessels healthy, reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels.
2. Whole carbohydrates improve type 1 diabetes.
Previous research has shown that a low-fat, plant-based diet is beneficial for those people who have type 2 diabetes as well as reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 50%.
3. You don’t have to fast to get the benefits.
Fasting is a popular method of improving your longevity, but new research has shown that eating buckwheat is as good as fasting.
Buckwheat may have the same effect as calorie restriction because it contains a lot of indigestible fiber. Buckwheat is a low-calorie grain and when eaten it increases the production of a protein called SIRT1. SIRT1 protects the cells of the digestive system without causing hunger. It is likely that other plant products, such as grain, vegetables, fruit, or nuts, have a similar effect on the production of SIRT1 production and on health.
