Barley for reduction of cholesterol and protection from infarctions

Canadian researchers published new study in the inspection “European Journal of Clinical Nutrition”, where they underline the precious contribution of fruit, barley, in the reduction of levels of cholesterol in the blood and consequently, in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

In order to is confirmed the role of barley in the good cardiovascular health, in the study were analyzed elements from 14 clinical studies in seven countries.

Accordingly therefore with the new discoveries, consuming foods that are produced by the barley are decreased considerably the levels of “bad” cholesterol, with result the protection from infarctions and cerebral episodes.

Still, the beneficial effect of barley in the reduction of cholesterol was corresponding with that of oat, that as we know benefits the heart. However, the barley is more rich in plant fibres from the oat, while it at the same time provides double proteins but the half calories from this.

As realised the researchers in the hospital his St Michael's Toronto, the barley decreases at 7% two goods of “bad” cholesterol. The lipoprotein of low density (LDL) and the lipoprotein of not high density (non-HDL).

Also, the study is first that focused simultaneously in the effect of barley in the levels and LDL and non-HDL but also apolipoproteinis B (apoB), which transports “bad” cholesterol in the blood.

As marks the researcher Dr Vladimir Vuksan “the discoveries have bigger importance for those who it is appreciated that they run through increased danger of cardiopathy, as the individuals that suffer from diabetes of type 2 and have physiologic levels LDL otherwise increased level non-HDL cholesterol or apoB”.

His researches Acts Vuksan and his collaborators focuses in the more effective management of high cholesterol and diabetes via the diet and other changes in the daily life, after also the two constitute basic factors of danger for appearance of cardiovascular diseases and cerebral
