Keep Your Blood Healthy And More With These Hydroxycinnamic Acids

The hydroxycinnamic acids are a group of phytonutrients (plant based chemical compounds

that can boost human health) which can be sourced from coffee, certain fruits and certain vegetables. They are not believed to be essential in humans but studies have shown that they can boost your blood health, fight cancer and much more. In this article I will be providing a full overview of 2 hydroxycinnamic acids, discussing the top food sources and listing their main health benefits.

1) CHLOROGENIC ACID:

Chlorogenic acid is mainly found in coffee with a 100 millilitre (ml) serving providing you with between 35 milligrams (mg) and 175mg of this phytonutrient. Apples, pears and tea also contain some chlorogenic acid.

In terms of health benefits, chlorogenic acid is an impressive antioxidant (a substance that protects your body's cells from dangerous free radicals) that can also prevent 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 reach dangerously high levels). It can also keep your heart healthy by protecting against atherosclerosis (a condition where hard plaques form in your artery walls, restrict the flow of blood and ultimately increase your heart disease risk) and reducing blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (a type of cholesterol that causes blockages in the arteries and increases your heart disease risk).

2) FERULIC ACID:

Ferulic acid can be found in a wide selection of plant based foods with apples, carrots, coffee, oranges, peas and wholegrains all being brilliant sources. Studies have shown that this hydroxycinnamic acid is a potent antioxidant.

Early studies suggest that it may also fight cancer, lower blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (a type of cholesterol that blocks the arteries and increases your heart disease risk), prevent ultraviolet (UV) skin damage, protect the bones from degeneration, reduce the hot flushing symptoms associated with menopause and treat diabetes. However, additional studies are needed before these potential health benefits can be confirmed.

HYDROXYCINNAMIC ACID BENEFITS:

As you can see, a cup of coffee does so much more than perking you up. The hydroxycinnamic acids in this hot drink can protect the body's cells from dangerous free radicals, keep you safe from various diseases, strengthen your heart and much more. They may also be able to boost your skin health, ease the unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause and keep your bones healthy. So make sure you are drinking 1 or 2 cups of coffee each day so that you can start enjoying all these hydroxycinnamic acid benefits.
