Honey prevents the development of atherosclerosis

The experiments of scientists at the University of Washington have examined the ability of honey to prevent the development of atherosclerosis.

Scientists from the University of Washington showed that daily honey intake reduced cholesterol plaque size by 30%, thus preventing the development of atherosclerosis.

University scientists conducted a series of experiments to study the mechanism of development of atherosclerosis in laboratory mice. They discovered that the mice containing trehalose food, the size of the plaques in the blood vessels are small, whereas they are not observed in other mice.

"Trihalose sugar activates proteins that force immune cells to destroy cholesterol plaques and remove them from blood vessels, making the blood vessels more flexible, improving blood flow and restoring blood pressure to a normal level." explain the researchers.

Atherosclerosis is characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol plaques on the walls of the internal blood vessels, which shrink with time the blood vessel, which causes a low blood flow to the tissues and organs of the body. The disease causes sudden memory loss, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, ischemia and stroke.
