Researchers today highlight a key food promising to appear younger after 40 years. Their conclusions are based on rigorous analyzes, including biological markers linked to aging.
At 40, the body begins to manifest visible signs of relaxation: less tonic skin, increased inflammation, oxidative stress which is gaining ground. Scientists then studied how certain food compounds could act permanently on these different processes. Verdict: their work highlights the powerful effects of specific compounds of an often overlooked vegetable.
Indeed, in this survey, published in the scientific journal Moleculesthe researchers explored a wide range of legumes in order to specify their effects on inflammation, oxidative stress and cell metabolism. The point of interest therefore relates to phenolic compounds and anthocyanins, recognized for their ability to neutralize free radicals, reduce chronic inflammation and improve the functioning of mitochondria. Molecules that play an essential role in the slowdown in the biological mechanisms of aging. As a result, the study underlines that a very specific type of legume would provide a particularly high concentration of these polyphenols, capable of intervening effectively on several physiological fronts.
The food to favor after 40 years to appear younger according to this study is none other than red bean. The analysis indeed reveals that this legume, rich in anthocyanins, contains extracts whose antioxidant activity is very pronounced, with effects measured in vitro on the biomolecular markers of aging. Its extracts show a capacity to eliminate similar radicals or superior to other well -established polyphenol sources and positively influence metabolic processes linked to insulin resistance, lipid regulation and vascular protection. No other food of this type presented such a combined profile of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and metabolic action in the sample studied.
It is a formidable ally in the face of the effects of time. Regularly integrating red beans into your diet could help maintain firmer skin, support cell metabolism and limit inflammation. So, between Chile Con Carne and summer salads, do not deprive yourself!
