    Polyphenols: the natural chemicals that could give you a small waist,
    healthy heart and low blood pressure

    Can the compound found in plants slow the ageing process and help
    tackle Alzheimer's? Food writer Giulia Crouch finds out

    There's a new buzzword in town when it comes to health: polyphenols.
    While scientists have been investigating the plant compounds for
    years, the term has now caught the public imagination - and for good
    reason.

    A growing body of evidence shows that eating a diet high in these
    clever natural chemicals offers numerous health benefits, improving
    everything from heart and metabolic health to lowering the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's.
    ...
    ...
    Polyphenols are a group of phytonutrients (though the terms are often
    and erroneously used interchangeably), naturally occurring chemicals
    in plants that help to protect them in nature from threats such as
    insects and UV light, and, as it turns out, also help to protect us
    when we eat them

    They are found in high concentrations in fruits and vegetables with
    deep or vivid colours such as beetroot, blackberries, black olives,
    very red tomatoes and dark, leafy greens. As well as protecting the
    plant, phytonutrients - including polyphenols - also provide it with a
    strong pigment. The same is true for strong tastes: the more
    cough-inducing an extra virgin olive oil, the higher the likely
    concentration of polyphenols. Tea, coffee and dark chocolate are
    excellent sources.

    There are thousands of types of phytonutrients – we haven’t discovered
    them all - such as resveratrol in red wine, ellagic acid in walnuts
    and catechins in tea. And single ingredients have multiple
    phytonutrients - tomatoes contain polyphenols (flavonoids and
    flavanones) as well as carotenoids (lycopene, phytoene and beta
    carotene).

    Trials have shown they all do different things for our health.

    Chocolate
    has been shown to do more damage to the liver then alcohol. Yes it
    makes you feel good, but we do not need the feeling of being loved. We
    need pure-chocolate to any positives. Not milk/sugar or any of that
    crap.

    Coffee literally makes you a super-human. But as with the ultimate
    truth ( all coffee is stale ) and is burnt ( brown ) by the time you
    get the beans. Meaning as with burnt food ( that brown crispy stuff on
    the edges we all like tasting ), we are releasing chemicals into our
    bodies on a microscopic level that is slowly aging us faster then
    normal. It shows on the face historically with coffee drinkers from
    Arabic lands. Yes coffee will wake up but literally pushes your body
    to age more faster ( very slowly ).

    Tea ( green tea ) on the eyes in the past have shown to hold many
    chemicals found in beauty products. Tea bags ( empty ) can be used as
    a bio-degrable plant food ( AKA "may your blood help my Roses
    grow" ). Again green tea. Be aware it is the Hot-water of tea (
    type of water ) that is health benificial in most cases. Black Tea has
    shown to have age reducing properties ( but IDK ), where hair comes
    back with color.

    Smoking Weed ( CBD or HL??? ) in general have been shown to allow the
    blood flow in the body. Which is why the fat-racist-sell-out known as
    a Kevin Smith dropped all his fat ( using medical means obviously )
    ASAP to avoid that problem in the future. Because the fat itself is
    what would kill him. Same with eating all the crap from the
    quick-stop. Same reason why Jay literally looks the same way he looked
    from the original Clerks. Why the two quick-stop employees ( Dante and
    Randle ) are not so hot in the final film.
