subject: Want Strong Bones? Then Check Out These 5 Tyrosol Ester Benefits [print this page] The tyrosol esters are a group of powerful plant based compounds that can be found exclusively in olives and olive oil. Research on these natural nutrients is still in the very early stages but the provisional findings are very promising. In this article I will be taking a deeper look at these early findings and discuss 5 tyrosol ester benefits.
1) FIGHTING BACTERIA:
Bacteria are a type of single cell microorganism. In most cases bacteria are harmless but sometimes they can be dangerous and cause infectious diseases. Fortunately, the tyrosol esters can keep you safe from these harmful bacteria and their disease causing effects by acting as antibacterials (substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria).
2) KEEPING YOUR BONES HEALTHY:
Your bones give protection, support and structure to your entire body. It is in your best interests to keep them strong and healthy. Early evidence suggests that the tyrosol esters may do exactly that by preventing bone loss. However, further studies are needed before this bone boosting benefit can be confirmed.
3) KEEPING YOUR HEART HEALTHY:
Heart disease is 1 of the main causes of premature deaths in the UK. The good news is that the tyrosol esters may be able to protect against this dangerous disease. Provisional studies indicate that they may lower high blood pressure and reduce blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (a type of cholesterol that causes blockages in the artery walls and increases your heart disease risk). However, more evidence is required before this can be confirmed.
4) PREVENTING MENTAL DISORDERS:
1 of the unfortunate things about getting older is that your mental health tends to deteriorate and you are much more susceptible to mental disorders. Fortunately, the tyrosol esters may be able to negate the onset of mental disorders. Early research has shown that these natural nutrients may prevent Alzheimer's disease (a mental disorder which leads to memory loss, thought problems and speech problems) and Parkinson's disease (a mental disorder that causes mobility and speech problems).
5) STRENGTHENING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Your immune system is a set of biological structures and processes that protects you from disease and infection. A strong immune system means you are much less susceptible to illness. The good news is that the tyrosol esters can keep your immune system strong and ensure that you are fighting fit all year round.
SUMMARY:
More research needs to be done before the tyrosol ester benefits can be fully confirmed. However, the early studies are very promising and suggest that a diet rich in olives and olive oil can have a very positive impact on your health. So make sure you are consuming these foods regularly and enjoying all their health boosting properties.
