Healthy Fats - Beating Cholesterol and Inflammation With Plant Sterols

Foods containing plant sterols have proven to be effective at dealing with the chronic pain of autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis according to over 10 years of clinical trials and double-blind studies.  A positive benefit to plant sterols is that they can inhibit the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine if eaten on a regular basis.  So, an occasional indisgression that includes the bad fats, specifically saturated fats, have a harder time getting into your system.  Sterols and sterolins tend to cleanse the liver in this way and by stopping re-absorption of LDL cholesterol in the liver.

What are plant sterols?   Sterols are fats from plants found in all plant-based foods.  Sterolins are glucosides (a molecule where a sugar group is bonded), which are molecular structures fixed to the sterol and are best eatened straight from the source because they are easily destroyed.  Drying, or juicing does not hurt the plant, refining does.   It is the combination of sterols and sterolins in a 100:1 ratio which balances and improves the immune system function.  (See below for a properly balance nutritional supplement.) 

A healthy diet of daily fruits, vegetables and grains, nuts, beans and seeds is a healthy source of  plant sterols, sterolins, beneficial enzymes and nutrients needed to cleanse the blood and boost the immune system. These foods have been demonstated to effectively modulate cortisol and regulate Interleukin-6.  DHEA which normally decreases was shown to naturally increase with the use of these foods.  That is good news as DHEA has anti-inflammatory properties in itself.
