Flavonoids in polyphenols: Activating gut hormones to improve health

The article from MSN discusses the health benefits of flavonoids, a type of polyphenol found in various plant-based foods. Flavonoids are highlighted for their role in activating gut hormones which can lead to improved health outcomes. They are known to enhance the production of hormones like GLP-1, which helps in regulating blood sugar levels, reducing appetite, and promoting satiety. This can contribute to weight management and potentially lower the risk of obesity and related metabolic disorders. The article also mentions that flavonoids have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, which can benefit cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and overall gut health. Foods rich in flavonoids include berries, apples, tea, dark chocolate, and red wine, suggesting that a diet high in these foods could be part of a strategy for health improvement.
