dietary ingredients that have a sufficient scientific
basis. The "plant compound" described above is what we usually call phytonutrrits.sources of phytonutrientsScientific studies have shown that natural plant raw materials contain not only vitamins and minerals, but also tens of thousands of "phytonutrients". Phytonutrients that have been shown to be beneficial to the human body have exceeded
200
, such as lycoprotein, lollitin, polyfructose, anthotin, β
-
carotene, etc., which play an important role in maintaining heart health, antioxidant, maintaining gastrointestinal health, and resisting genetic mutations, known as the
new vitamins of the
21st century". The Mediterranean diet, which the world relishes, fully reflects the importance of phytonutrrits to the human body.published in
BMJ
, an authoritative medical journal, suggests that a Mediterranean diet may help extend life expectancy. The Mediterranean diet has been associated with health benefits, including lower mortality rates and a reduced risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease. Studies have found that a Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of heart disease, protect the brain from vascular damage, and reduce the risk of stroke and memory loss. The Mediterranean diet is characterized by high intakes of vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes (e.g. peas, soybeans and lentils) and cereals (mainly unprocessed); Because fruits, vegetables and nuts are key ingredients in the Mediterranean diet, scientists also funly refer to the Mediterranean diet as a "colorful diet." And these "colored foods" also have a specific health effect.(Including spinach, celery, chrysanthemum, green peppers, orchids, bitter melons, green melons, olives, kiwis, green beans and other green fruits and vegetables), is conducive to stability of the mood, reduce tension and relieve stress, and can prevent migraines and other diseases, and cellulose can clean the intestines, prevent constipation, reduce the incidence of rectal cancer, and its rich leaf prolactin can maintain retinal health. In addition, regular eating of green vegetables can keep our bodies in a state of acid-base balance, thus more to avoid cancer.(Including tomatoes, red peppers, watermelons, hawthorns, strawberries, red grapes, cranberries, red dates and other fruits and vegetables), rich in lycoprene. The research shows that lycope, can protect the cell membrane, reduce the infringement of free fundamentals, has a certain effect of delaying aging. Red food usually helps with blood circulation, boosts mood, relieves fatigue, shakes spirits, boosts self-confidence and willpower, empowers people, and motivates people to put their ideas into practice.(Including citrus, pineapple, hurub, apricot, mango, lemon, pumpkin, sweet potato, corn, soybeans, milli and other foods), is the most stimulating color of appetite, in people's mood gray or worried can cheer them up, the most common natural orange pigment β

carotene, is a powerful antioxidant substance, reduce air pollution damage to the human body, and have anti-aging effects.(Including purple grapes, blueberries, broccoli, eggplant, black beans, blackcurrants, seaweed, fungi, purple vegetables and other fruits and vegetables), is the color of black or purple, dark brown food. Purple black to protect the body and mind, calm self-confidence, purple black food has the following advantages: First, from the natural, contains very few harmful ingredients;(Including foods such as garlic, onions, cauliflower, cabbage, white radish, white sesame seeds, lilies, yams and milk) are rich in phytonutrrits that help calm mood and are beneficial to patients with high blood pressure and heart disease. And white food has a certain control effect on people's appetite, which is very helpful to dieters.The Power of Phytonutrology Phytonutrology is not an essential nutrient in the human body, but its physiological functions, such as anti-cancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-thrombosis, regulating immune function, inhibiting inflammatory processes, affecting blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, regulating blood sugar, promoting digestion and so on, are getting more and more attention. At present, the international market hot phytonutrrits (plant extracts) products mainly have the following four categories: basing

which is the fastest growing plant health product in Western countries in recent years. According to the latest foreign reports, "eye health" plant preparations have accounted for
68%
of the U.S. health food market, while Japan accounted for
48%
, its development momentum is very strong. Plant extract products that can be used to improve vision, prevent cataracts and retinal macular degeneration (which can cause blindness) include: blueberry (American cranberry) extract, grape seed extract, Chinese black bean extract (Note: the active ingredients of the above three products are "anthocyanins"), green tea extracts, marigold extracts (the main ingredient is "leaf citrine") and so on.Plant products with anti-cancer

pine chrysanthemum, Changchun flower alkali series, European coastal pine bark extract, root extract, lycope, anthophylactic, green tea extraction Licorice extract, soy isoflavone, reishi spore powder, various fungal extracts (e.g. mushroom polysaccharides, yunzhi polysaccharides, reishi polysaccharides, monkey mushrooms, dancing hair, ash tree flowers, mulberry extract, etc.), garlic extract.era of phytonutrrits scientists have entered the era of understanding and studying the effects of phytonutrrits on human health. Scientists believe that phytonutrrits are a new treasure trove of drugs for humans and could be the star of many difficult diseases. Phytonutrrits such as lycoprin, allicin, zeitgeist, etc., have significant anti-cancer, inhibit free-form, enhance the body's immunity and other effects.french medics found that apples are rich in candy gums and strong antioxidant flavonoids. The chemical is effective in lowering cholesterol in the blood and preventing coronary atherosclerosis. Apples also have an inhibitory effect on tumors caused by radiation. Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forging and Forear Forest Research Institute also found cholesterol-lowering phytonutrogens and substances that help to heal and promote excitement from extracts from fir, pine and other trees.American medics have concluded, based on extensive experimental studies, that one or more phytonutrogens can be found in vegetables and fruits at almost every stage of cancer development to slow, stop, or even eliminate cancerous phytonutrology. German scientists have also announced that they have isolated a chemical from soy, the dye flavonoids, to prevent breast lumps, prostate lumps and other lumps from growing and spreading, noting that many fewer people develop prostate cancer in Japan than in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom, in part because Japanese people eat almost every meal without beans. As a result, scientists believe that phytonutrients are a new treasure trove of medicine for humans, and that their discovery is more significant than the discovery of vitamins and antibiotics. Chinese medics have also done a large number of clinical trials in the prevention of chronic diseases, according to incomplete statistics, China now has 34 million people with diabetes, and in the daily increasing number of diabetes, type II diabetes accounted for more than
90%
. The main factor that has caused the large increase in diabetics is the great change in diet structure in recent years. In the clinical study at Concord Hospital in Beijing, chrysanthemum subjects showed a downward trend in their concedes blood sugar, glycation hemoglobin and insulin resistance index at
4
weeks compared with the control group, and the data were more pronounced after
8
weeks. The clinical trial concluded that chrysanthemum powder may have a related effect of improving insulin sensitivity, and that supplementation with chrysanthemum powder significantly reduced total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes. Chrysanthemum powder is a naturally occurring fructans (
Fructans
) and is a major form of carbohydrate reserve in plants. Chrysanthemum-type fructose (including chrysanthemum powder, lysum sugar and poly fructose) has been widely used in the food industry as a water-soluble dietary fiber and probiotic substance. Chrysanthemum-type fructose in the human body digestive tract will not be digested and degraded, so not for the small intestine to absorb and completely into the colon, under the action of colon microorganisms to produce short-chain fatty acids, and then affect the concentration of free fatty acids in the circulation and the concentration of gastrointestinal hormones with the role of regulating blood sugar, thereby improving blood sugar levels.
