Berry Power for Your Heart

If Big Pharma ever had a drug that could boost HDL cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and keep blood cells (platelets) from sticking together it would be the biggest blockbuster on the market today. Well, much to the chagrin of Big Pharma Mother Nature has provided several of these and a new study shows that blueberries can be added to the list.

Grape Seed Extract Helps Type II Diabetic Patients

Individuals with Type II Diabetes are at particular high risk for cardiovascular disease. In a double-blinded randomized crossover trial 32 type II Diabetic patients were given 600 mg of grape seed extract or placebo each day for four weeks. The results were very positive as the researchers concluded that grape seed extract use in Type II Diabetics “may have a therapeutic role in decreasing cardiovascular risk.”

Grape Seed Extract Lowers White Adipose Tissue Inflammation

One of the most devastating health aspects of being overweight is the change in immune system status within white adipose tissue fat stores. There is a major shift of macrophages into the white adipose tissue which act in a highly inflammatory manner to alter the function of stored fat so that it becomes metabolically incompetent as well as directly adding to the overall inflammatory burden of one’s body. This is why obesity is associated with more prevalence and earlier onset of any of the diseases of aging (cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, etc). A new study shows that grape seed extract can turn down the inflammatory signals and consequent free radical damage from these white adipose tissue macrophages.

Poor Response to Exercise in Young Type 2 Diabetics

Type 2 diabetes is a difficult health problem because multiple aspects of calorie utilization simply don’t work properly. A study with young adults (ages 18 - 25) shows the cellular problem is worse than thought. Normally exercise conditions cells to make more energy by facilitating the development of additional mitochondria (cellular engines). This study showed that young Type 2 diabetic adults failed to activate the gene signals required for this exercise benefit, in turn making their metabolic problem more difficult to resolve

Grape Extract Reduces Fat Cell Inflammation

The health of your white adipose tissue is central to your well being. Virtually any condition of poor metabolic function has unfit fat as a primary component of the problem. For example, as inflammation rises insulin resistance sets in. A new study shows that grape extract can reduce the inflammatory signals coming from human fat cells and resolve insulin resistance, making this a valuable nutrient as part of your weight management efforts.

Grape Seed Extract Improves Collagen Flexibility & Strength

Grape seed extract (GSE) is one of nature's most versatile nutrients, acting as a strengthener of collagen, arteries, and your heart while providing potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. I have previously reviewed these attributes in my feature-length article, Grape Seed Extract’s Powerful Cardio Protection. A number of recent studies are showing that GSE can increase the collagen strength within teeth, something the dental industry is considering using for better adhesion of composite resin to the dentin of teeth.
