Beneficial effects of nopal
Chromium is an essential microelement, which means that the human body cannot produce it and we can only obtain it from external sources. Chromium takes part in the proper metabolism of polysaccharides, proteins and fats, and also helps maintain normal blood sugar levels. As a result, it can help prevent “cravings” for sweets, which is caused by sudden fluctuations in blood sugar levels, and thus contributes to the effectiveness of a reducing diet. Not all forms of chromium are absorbed adequately. Chromium compounds with an organic bond, such as chromium picolinate, are best absorbed and used in the body.
The beneficial effects of chromium
- Reduces the appetite for sweets and polysaccharides.
- Helps maintain normal blood sugar levels. Helps prevent sudden fluctuations in blood sugar levels and the resulting 'taste', especially sweetness.
- Supports the action of the hormone insulin. According to research, chromium supports the uptake of insulin by cells, thereby improving the action of this hormone. And when insulin works properly, blood sugar levels remain balanced.
- It influences the metabolism of polysaccharides, proteins and fats and thus improves their relative representation in the body. It effectively helps transform proteins into muscle mass and sugars into energy.
- It has a positive effect on cholesterol levels, improves the condition of blood vessels, and is also an excellent way to deal with exhaustion because it provides the body with a greater dose of energy.
