For those who like fruits try to consume more purple fruits, as new research indicates that the consumption of purple fruits such as blueberries, blackberries, black currants, or plums, contain substances capable of neutralize toxins in the body, in addition to preventing various degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson.
The study carried out in the University of Manchester, states that one of the triggers of degenerative diseases is iron, which, as it is not perfectly assimilated by the body, can poison and damage the body's cells.
Although we often hear that iron is beneficial for health, this substance can be toxic if the body absorbs it wrongly, since iron is beneficial for health when it reacts with other substances in the body, however when this does not happens, it becomes iron poison for body tissues.
These toxic metals also called hydroxyl radicals, lead to degenerative diseases in different parts of the body, therefore to provide protection against toxic metals, it is important that the body obtain the nutrients that are called iron chelators or substances that bind to it can neutralize it. Here you can know what are metals and why they are important to our body.
Brightly colored fruits and vegetables are good sources of chelators, the study found, but purple fruits they are believed to be the best source of chelator, as they effectively bind to iron metal neutralizing its harmful effects on the Health.
The report was prepared by Douglas kell who was the first to connect the many diseases with exposure to harmful metals in the body and published his research in the Archive of the journal of Toxicology, emphasizing the importance of further study, especially regarding the potential of purple fruit to prevent degenerative diseases.
