Protection From High-Fat Meals: Health and Wellness Blog
Did you know that high-fat meals can lead to age related health challenges? Protect yourself this holiday season!
According to a human clinical study published last year online in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, key Vivix® ingredients blunt the biological stress response that occurs after consuming a high-fat meal.
The researchers gave key Vivix® ingredients or a placebo immediately before the consumption of a high-fat fast food meal and measured oxidative and biological stress response for five hours following the meal.
Results showed significant blunting of the typical oxidative and biological stress response to a high-fat meal. This biological stress response refers to the acute oxidative and cellular responses that occur in the body to address metabolic by-products of common lifestyle factors such as eating an unhealthful diet, being overweight, or smoking. If the biological stress response persists over time, it may lead to many of the age-related health challenges we see today.

Similar to our discussion last week, this sounds like another way that Thanksgiving could contribute to aging :(. This also reinforces my decision to start with healthy eating. Depending on our holiday plans, we may encounter a high-fat meal such as the one from this study.
Although I know I would get in trouble health-wise if I took Vivix® so I could eat whatever I wanted, I do find comfort in knowing that adding Vivix® to my meals can help my body deal with my splurges and reduce the consequences. I also appreciate the reminder of the possible results from high-fat meals – no matter how much I love the macaroni and cheese, cheesy green bean casserole, cheesecake, . . . do you see a trend :)?
