Citrus Polyphenols -To Reduce Body Fat Accumulation

With the continuous research on functional ingredients, for consumers who want to lose weight, in addition to controlling food intake and exercise, functional ingredients have opened up another way - diet therapy. In recent years, consumers have been very vocal about sugar control, such as erythritol sugar replacement ingredients with sweet taste but few calories, and white kidney bean extract that can reduce some starch absorption. People are concerned about hypoglycemia because sugar is the most used ingredient in food processing. In daily life, if you eat several prepackaged common snacks or beverages, you will unconsciously consume too much sugar.

If sugar is not consumed in the body in time, it will be converted into fat, which will affect human health and pave the way for chronic diseases. The use of healthy ingredients allows people to consume fewer calories without reducing their diet, so it is also a method of weight control.

In the human body, sugar will only become fat when there is excess, and it will directly supply energy under normal circumstances. Fat needs to be digested to provide calories. However, the energy supply ratio of the same mass of fat and sugar is 9:4, which is equivalent to consuming the same amount of fat and carbohydrates, and fat provides more than twice the energy of carbohydrates, so it is generally recommended to limit the intake of fat in the daily diet. This is also the principle of full-nutrition meal replacement powder for weight loss, which generally follows the principle of extremely low-fat content.

However, fats tend to provide foods with a good, rich texture: cheese, butterfat, etc. In prepackaged foods, there are also many foods that add fat as a bulk ingredient, such as biscuits.

The effect of citrus polyphenols on fat

Citrus is one of the important economic crops and contains a variety of biologically active substances, among which citrus polyphenols are important components. Polyphenols from different sources share the commonality of phenolic substances, but they also have unique effects due to their different molecular structures. In today's society, weight management is becoming more and more important, and the role of citrus polyphenols in this regard is worth mentioning.

Citrus polyphenols help with weight loss primarily on fat. After the human body ingests citrus polyphenols, the human body will produce hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine that promote the decomposition of lipids, thereby decomposing more and more effective fat.

Other physiological activities of citrus polyphenols

1. Antioxidant

Citrus polyphenols can reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species (a substance that affects cell proliferation) by scavenging free radicals, inhibiting oxidation reactions in the body, inhibiting related enzymes or chelating metal ions, thereby achieving antioxidant effects.

2. Anti-cancer

There are many reports showing that citrus polyphenols can repair DNA damage in cancer patients, reduce the activity of intermediate products in the development of cancer cells, and thus play an anticancer effect. In addition, there are reports that citrus polyphenols can be used in combination with other substances to reduce the incidence of certain cancers such as breast cancer.

3. Other

Inflammation is the defense response of human immune cells, such as tissue swelling and pain. Citrus polyphenols can play an anti-inflammatory role by inhibiting the synthesis of pro-inflammatory factors, and can also reshape the characteristics of healthy intestinal flora and other functions.
