[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

What are your healthy eating tips; how do you live a healthy lifestyle?
“Since I teach nutrition and food preparation, it’s difficult to narrow down my tips. I cook every day and I eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy and protein foods and enjoy trying new foods. I don’t eat foods that come in a lot of packaging, preferring fresh foods that are minimally processed. Water and milk are my beverages (coffee, too). I eat at a fast food restaurant about once a year just to prove I’m not a health nut. I try to choose seafood, legumes, nuts and seeds as my protein foods most often and I am known for my love of sardines and speckled trout. I like to go to the Red Stick Market and buy what the farmer’s sell. That means that I eat a seasonal diet as much as possible. I abhor waste so I save money by planning my meals and using everything I’ve purchased, right down to the vegetable peels and chicken bones in a soup. My healthy lifestyle is dancing in the kitchen, doing all my own yard work, walking as often as I can and staying grateful. I do all those things that you are supposed to do: sleep well, wash your hands often, wear sunscreen and brush and floss.”

Ingredients:
-12 trimmed broccoli florets, each should fit in a muffin cup with room for muffin batter
-¼ cup of soft butter or oil
-¼ cup sugar 4 large eggs ½ cup whole wheat flour
-¾ cup of whole grain corn meal (I use Papa Tom’s)
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
-½ teaspoon salt
-¼ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (cold cheese is the easiest to grate and it doesn’t matter if you grate it finely or coarsely, they both work)

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Cooking Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Preheating is important to even cooking.
2. Blanch the broccoli, cool it and dry it.
3. Spray the muffin tin with pan spray.
4. Grate the cheese.
5. Measure dry ingredients into a medium sized bowl.
6. Mix liquid ingredients: eggs and oil, so you don’t have to stir very much after you combine.
7. Mix dry ingredients with your hand or a whisk to get those little clumps of baking powder distributed. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the cheddar cheese.
8. Use two spoons to place a spoon of the thick batter in each muffin cup. Stand the blanched broccoli in the cup. Top it with a spoonful of the batter and spread it. Place in the middle of the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm.
9. Eat and enjoy. Share with friends.

Notes:
-Eggs should be room temperature, especially if you are doing the soft butter method.
-Olive oil is delicious in this recipe.
-You can reduce the sugar or not use it at all and they are still great. Any sweetener would work, too. This is a very adaptable recipe.
-Store whole grain flour and corn meal in the refrigerator once you open the bag.
-You could use all corn meal or replace the wheat flour with corn flour to make a gluten free muffin…for those who need that.
