[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.

ROCKY ROAD
You can easily make this recipe nut free by just using moreseeds. Remember to be playful, you can just use what seeds
you have on hand. The idea is to not break the bank. We had some pretty fancy things in our cupboards when creating this,
but honestly, just nuts and sultanas are terrific too.

You will need:
1 batch of Marshmallows.. see other recipe, and

Chocolate
1 cup Cacao
1 cup Coconut Oil
3 tablespoons of honey or Rice Malt Syrup.. sweeten to your liking

Super Berry + Nutty Seed Mix
1 handful pepitas
1 handful sunflower seeds
1 handful dried blueberries
1 handful dried pomegranates
1 handful goji berries
1 handful noni berries
1 handful macadamias.. so good roasted
1 handful pistachios
sprinkle of bee pollen

METHOD
Mix up the chocolate.. Combine 1 cup of Cacao with 1 cup melted coconut oil.
Add honey or rice malt to sweeten. We used 5 tablespoons rice malt syrup. Stir well.
Whilst the little ones are stirring the chocolate you can be cutting up the marshmallow.
Lay out the marshmallow, sprinkle all the nuts and seeds on top.
Pour the chocolate on top and set in the fridge or freezer. Best served straight out of the fridge.
For more solid chocolate you can sub out coconut oil for cacao butter.
For less stimulating chocolate you can sub out cacao for carob powder.. also has a natural sweetness.
This recipe is great for the kids to really practice their mixing skills and they will love all the different textures.

Remember when cooking with children to take extra care with safety and always make sure there is adult supervision.
