Hardy Plant a Superfood to Fight Obesity

RMIT’s Food Research and Innovation Centre. “If we don’t encapsulate the extract, it could break down in the stomach before we can reap its benefts.” Adhikari, a leading food researcher whose interest began as a farmer back in Nepal, predicts the roselle will play a bigger role in Australia’s health food industry. “Australia has the perfect climate for farming the roselle. The plant is hardy, disease resistant and it doesn’t need a lot of space or water to grow,” he said. The potential of plant-based alternatives to current weight management medications is also being explored in other areas. For example, some research has suggested that certain plant-based foods, such as apples and pears, may have a positive effect on weight management. Apples and pears contain polyphenols, which are compounds that act as antioxidants in the body, helping to reduce infammation and protect cells from damage. These polyphenols may also help to reduce the absorption of fat in the intestine, leading to a lower calorie intake and weight loss. In addition, apples and pears are high in dietary fbre, which can help to reduce appetite and increase satiety, making it easier to manage weight. The combination of polyphenols and dietary fbre in apples and pears may make them an effective weight management tool. In addition, research has suggested that certain plantbased foods, such as nuts, may also help to reduce weight. Nuts are high in healthy fats, fbre, and protein, which can help to reduce appetite and increase satiety. They are also a good source of polyphenols, which can help to reduce infammation and protect cells from damage. The combination of healthy fats, fbre, and polyphenols in nuts may make them an effective weight management tool. Finally,

research has suggested that certain plant-based foods, such as legumes, may also help to reduce weight. Legumes are high in fbre, protein, and polyphenols, which can help to reduce appetite and increase satiety. The combination of fbre, protein, and polyphenols in legumes may make them an effective weight management tool. Overall, the potential of plant-based alternatives to current weight management medications is being explored, with the roselle plant providing a promising option. In addition, other plant-based foods, such as apples, pears, nuts, and legumes, may also help to reduce weight.

The combination of polyphenols, dietary fbre, and healthy fats in these foods may make them an effective weight management tool.
