Avoid Unnecessary Inflammation And More With These Hydroxycinnamic Acids
The hydroxycinnamic acids are a group of plant based nutrients that are mainly sourced
from coffee but can also be found in other fruits and vegetables. They are not classed as essential nutrients but studies have shown that they can fight free radicals, prevent various diseases, reduce unnecessary inflammation and much more. In this article I will be taking a detailed look at 2 phenolic acids, highlighting the best food sources and reviewing their main health benefits.
1) CAFFEIC ACID:
Coffee is the main food source of caffeic acid and contains between 18 milligrams (mg) and 88mg of caffeic acid per 100 millilitres (ml) (depending on the quality of the coffee beans used). Some other good food sources of this hydroxycinnamic acid include apples, basil, cauliflowers, oregano, radishes and turnips.
In terms of health benefits, caffeic acid is a potent anti-inflammatory (a substance that protects your body's cells from unnecessary inflammation) and antioxidant (a substance that protects your body's cells from dangerous free radicals). It can also fight a number of nasty diseases including cancer (a disease where your body's cells start to grow in a rapid, uncontrollable way) and diabetes (a disease where your blood glucose levels become dangerously high).
2) COUMARIN:
Coumarin can be sourced from apricots, cinnamon, strawberries and tonka beans. Currently, this hydroxycinnamic acid has no confirmed health benefits. Early evidence has shown that it may act as an analgesic (a substance that reduces pain), anticoagulant (a substance that prevents blood clotting), anti-inflammatory (a substance that reduces unnecessary inflammation in the body) and antiseptic (a substance that inhibits the growth of disease causing microorganisms). In addition to this, it may prevent cancer, prevent osteoporosis (reduced bone mineral density), reduce high blood pressure and treat asthma (a respiratory disorder that leads to breathing difficulties). However, additional studies are needed before these provisional coumarin health benefits can be confirmed.
HYDROXYCINNAMIC ACIDS SUMMARY:
There is still a lot more to learn about caffeic acid and coumarin. However, the early research on these hydroxycinnamic acids is very promising and suggests that these nutrients could protect the body from a number of diseases and health disorders. So when it comes to food make sure you are eating lots of natural fruits and vegetables. Also when you feel a little thirsty do not stick to just water and green tea - make sure you treat yourself to the occasional cup of coffee too. By following this advice you can give your body a healthy dose of these hydroxycinnamic acids.
