What is Keto Burn AM?

Keto Burn AM is a weight loss supplement that increases the body’s ability to burn more calories. The product is available in the form of pills which can be easily administered as it is with water. The product claims to bring results within a short period of time. The formula is safe for both men and women and has been shown to have additional health benefits apart from losing weight. Natural ingredients are used to manufacture Keto Burn AM which makes it a specialty. Those ingredients support the body’s fat-burning process. It helps the body to attain ketosis faster.

Ketosis is a metabolic state that develops when the body burns fat for energy instead of glucose. Therefore, Keto diets and recipes are highly sought-after by those who are obsessed with weight reduction. The classic keto diet is a high-fat diet with adequate proteins. The diet is low in carbohydrates which are designed to produce ketosis by imitating the metabolic changes of starvation pushing the body to use fat as its primary source of energy [3]. Naturally, human bodies burn fat deposits in the body to obtain the power from the cells. With hectic lives and nutrition transition towards Western-style diets high in calories, sugar, animal fat, and processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles, the body now relies on carbohydrates to generate energy, instead of fat deposits. These high-carbohydrate meals may cause problems with the body’s metabolism and fat-melting system leading to overweight and obesity.

Keto Burn AM Ingredients

Keto Burn AM is a one-ingredient formula. BHB (beta-hydroxybutyric acid) is the major ingredient in the supplement while there are a few other minor ingredients as well. BHB has a similar structure to ketone bodies and is available in the form of salts; magnesium, calcium, and sodium, to facilitate absorption into the body. Though the manufacturer has not disclosed all the ingredients of the product, the label of the product is inclusive of the following ingredients [4].

• BHB ketones (beta-hydroxybutyric acid): Actively improve ketosis and natural regulation of the body’s metabolism
• Garcinia cambogia (a South Asian plant extract): Supports suppressing appetite and the natural loss of unwanted fat
• Chromium:
  1. Boosts the energy level of the body
  2. Regulates blood sugar levels
  3. Regulates the functioning of the digestive system

How does Keto Burn AM work?

The pills if taken regularly for a period of 90 days Keto Burn AM will provide the best results. It is considered safe for consumption attributing to its natural ingredients; plant extracts.

Keto Burn AM (under optimal consumption) brings the body into a metabolic state known as ketosis which propels the body into a fat-burning zone. Once the body enters ketosis, the body breaks down the stored fat in the body into ketone bodies. Nevertheless, it is a very challenging task for the body to enter ketosis on its own. When the body gets used to storing fat it is hard for the body to accept the change in the metabolism. Keto Burn AM helps the body to enter ketosis faster. The compounds start working as soon as it gets into the body, produce energy as it regulates the amount of glucose present in the body, convert it into ketone bodies, and eliminate excess fat effortlessly. Thus, Keto Burn AM burns unnecessary fat and facilitates achieving the goal of having a slim body [5].

With safe ingredients and a clinically tested formula, Keto Burn AM accounts for a lot of advantages.

• Increases the metabolic rate of the body
• Lowers blood cholesterol levels
• Increases the fat reduction process; reduces a consistent and safe amount of fat in the body
• Improves mood and relieves stress
• Helps to reduce fatigue and keeps energetic throughout the day
• Controls hunger hormones and reduce carbs and fat cravings, a great appetite suppressant
• Regulates the metabolism of the body and stabilizes blood sugar levels

As you know apples are one of the widely produced fruits in the world. Many scientists use Apple juices and extracts, in different studies due to the high content of various phytochemicals. You will be amazed to hear the potential of these phytochemicals in reducing disease risk and improving health. This is why some researches pay huge attention on apples for new product development sectors, scientists, nutritionists, and day- to day consumers.

Nutrient composition of Apple

 Basically apples consists of  Carbohydrates ,proteins ,soluble and insoluble fibres  and vitamin C. In addition it mainly of have many phytochemicals  including,

• Catechins
• Quercetin,
• Phloridzin
• Anthocyanin
• Chlorogenic acid etc.

All these compounds possess strong antioxidant properties.

This phytochemical composition varies between different varieties of apples. Particularly this can be changed slightly during the maturation stage and Ripening stage of the fruit. Besides Storage and processing also has considerable effects on phytochemicals. So you should remember that, the amount of phytochemicals in taken to your body changes with the variety and the storage and processing conditions of apples.(1)

Many of the phytochemicals in apples belong to the polyphenol category. Most of the polyphenols belong to the flavonoid group. You may have heard how important polyphenols in our health. That’s why most scientists consider apples as a very good phytochemical reservoir. Those main polyphenols present in the apples include :

• Hydroxycinnamic acids
• Flavanols (Procyanidins and epicatechins)
• Dihydrochalcones
• Flavonols etc.

Antioxidant activity 

• When considering the antioxidants in apples, it has been found that apple peels have the highest potential antioxidant activity which can prevent the growth of colon and liver cancer cells.
• It has been  found that total antioxidant activity of apples is 15 times of vitamin C with the peel was
• Although Vitamin C is considered a powerful antioxidant, researchers reveal that all of the antioxidant activity of apples comes from a  wide range of other compounds including flavonols and flavanoids. Among them, Vitamin C contributed only to 0.4% of total antioxidant activity.(2)

What are the Functional and health benefits of Apples??

Most people eat apples as a day-to-day food. Have you ever thought how far apples can affect your health? You will be thrilled to see the results.

01. Apples for Prevention of cancer

Most probably You are not aware of how many disorders that you can prevent with the consumption of apples. Well, cancer is one of them. Some scientists suggest that apples have the ability to prevent the occurrence of cancers like,(3,4)

• Lung cancer
• Colon cancer
• Stomach cancer
• Ovary cancer  
• Breast cancer in the human body.

Studies on anticancer effects

There were many studies focusing on experimenting with the anticancer effects of apples. Do you know why? Because Apples are rich in anthocyanins. In certain studies when apple peel extracts rich with anthocyanin, given to cancer patients, it showed a significant reduction in cell proliferation of cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. (3,4)

Particularly in those experiments, the scientists found that at considerably very low concentrations like 45µg/ml (Micrograms)a 50% inhibition can happen and total inhibition can be taken place at a concentration of 70 µg/ml. 

Furthermore, it was revealed that these extracts controlled some signal pathways of different enzymes involved in polyamine biosynthesis which act as potential regulators of cancer and also regulated some enzymes related to cancer. (3,4)

Examples

• In one investigation among ten fruits rich in anthocyanin fractions, apple showed the most significant reduction of cell proliferation ( multiplication of cancer cells )of cancer cells .Especially this was observed for breast cancer cells. So If you are a woman within the age of 30-50 better to consume apples as a habit. You won’t regret it!
• If you consume more apples, catechins along with other bioactive compounds in apples can reduce the risk of lung cancer in your body. You will get better results if apples are consumed along with onions in the diet.
• Apart from above, the phenolic mixtures of crushed and extracted juice of apples can also prevent the oxidative damage on colonic cells, Which may protect you from colon cancer. The most active compound here is the procyanidins (A form of flavonoid.produced by catechins and epicatechins) and pectins. 

Now you know how important apples in the diet. Consume more apples in a healthy way and prevent your body from cancer.

02. How apples prevent cardiovascular diseases??

Consuming apples will prevent your body from diseases related to heart health. First, we’ll see what    Conditions could be prevented. It includes :

• Coronary artery disease
• Angina pectoris
• Myocardial infarction
• Stroke.

Flavonoids in apples have an inverse association with coronary mortality. This is how the importance of dietary intake of apples come into existence. Research Studies of several experts suggest that daily intake of apples can significantly reduce the risk of coronary mortality in women compared to men.

Now there is a huge emphasis in the world towards examining the causative factors for Non-communicable diseases. However, as you know cardiovascular disorders are one of the common non-communicable diseases that cause death in a higher percentage of the world population. (5)

You may have used to fast foods in your day-to-day food consumption. But Note that, these foods will result in cellular damage in your body tissues. This may be an initiating factor for a number of chronic diseases. During oxidative damage, there can be disruptions in DNA, lipids,  protein, and other cellular compounds. (5)

How apples prevent those damages??

Apples are rich in dietary antioxidants. They down-regulate lipid peroxidation reactions by increasing the potential to scavenge free radicals in the body. This reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases in your body. Besides apple consumption can lower cholesterol levels and low-density lipids(LDL).

Those LDL lipids have a higher tendency in depositing in the blood vessels carrying blood to the heart. So the final result may be heart-related disorders.  Total flavonoid content is considered as the main causative factor for preventing cardiovascular diseases. (5)

According to research experts, Apples along with onions and wines in the diet have better protection against cardiovascular diseases.  Therefore Consume more apples and protect your heart health !!

03. How apples Prevent  Asthma and promote  Pulmonary function

Apples contain phytochemicals such as Vitamin C, retinol,β-carotene, and Vitamin E as antioxidants. They play an important role in asthma prevention. According to early researches, there is an inverse association between Apple consumption on

• Asthma 
• Chronic pulmonary disease
• Emphysema
• Bronchitis.

Recent Findings

Recent findings suggest that  consumption of about 30g of apple per day associated with a 10% reduction of Asthma risk and related symptoms. Although apples contain many flavonoids such as flavones, flavonols, and catechins.

When considering effects on asthma, these compounds said to have less importance. You may wonder, then what compounds have asthma preventing properties? The answer is still pending.

Some scientists believe that these properties in apple responsible for asthma and pulmonary disease prevention are a complex cluster.It may be a combination of of known phytochemicals and that of unknown compounds.BUt they haven’t been identified yet. (6)

04. Apples and cognitive health

Do you ever wonder that apples have an effect on your cognitive health? Most probably answer is No. But there is growing evidence suggesting that dietary intakes of apples are related to cognitive decline and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. According to recent research findings  they say that,

• You can reduce the risk associated with Alzheimer’s disease by drinking concentrated apple juice.
• Apart from that impaired cognitive performance can also be reduced by the consumption of an apple juice concentrate. Significant improvements can be observed in cognitive performance. (7)

05. Apples Against Type 2 Diabetes 

Surely You can reduce your blood sugar level through apple consumption. There is an inverse relationship between apple consumption and diabetes. Apples have been identified as one of the protective flavonoid-rich food that can reduce type 2 diabetes.

But according to some researcher’s views, the protective effect is mostly associated with catechins or polyphenolic components, not only with flavonoids. (8)

how apples prevent diabetes??

These catechins or polyphenolic compounds preserve pancreatic cell function and thereby reduce the oxidative tissue damage.

 In addition, dihydrochalcones in apples can inhibit glucose transporters in the intestine to down-regulate glucose response.

Clearly These factors will  give you proof about  why we consider apple as an  important fruit against diabetes

06. Apples Gastrointestinal protection from drugs

Surely Apples have potential effects on curing the injuries that happen to the intestinal mucosa. These are most possibly occur through inflammatory effects of drugs. The compounds responsible for these beneficial effects are polyphenols.

It’s obvious that Phenolic rich extracts of apples can protect gastric epithelial cells from oxidative damage. And also these apple extracts can scavenge nitrogen oxides. Clearly this is done by releasing some special compounds to saliva. It is also one of the gastroprotective effects of apples. (9)

Apple is a cheap and highly available fruit. Arrange your diet in a way that you can increase the apple consumption and enjoy the health benefits for better wellbeing!!

Mangoes are tropical stone fruits, plump and oval in shape. The global production of mango is concentrated in Asia and India. There are over thousands of mango varieties available worldwide. Among them, Mangifera indica is considered as the main variety.

Other than this there are other main varieties such as kent, Keitt, Osteen , Haden, Valencia pride, etc. Among the all mango varieties ‘Alphonso’ mango variety is considered as the king of mango varieties due to its flavor, sweetness, and nutrient richness. The top mango producing countries are India, China, Thailand, and Mexico. So, with these details, in this article, we mainly focus on the health benefits of mango.

02. Nutrition Profile of Mango

One cup or 165g of mango can provide approximately  Sufficient amounts of dietary requirements of sugar, dietary fiber,  vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. And also it is a good source of carotenoids (Vitamin A) and polyphenols including flavonoids like quercetin and phenolic acids like mangiferin and gallic acid. These compounds have anti-inflammatory effects.

03. Health Benefits of Mango

1. Prevent Heart diseases

Cardiovascular disease is a leading global health issue in the world. In Us, one person is dying every second from this disease and around 647,000 are dying each year due to this disease. It’s 1 of every 4 deaths. [1]

This way you can understand how much people are falling in this disease and must know the reasons for this disease. This is a condition of blocking blood vessels in the heart and this may cause chest pain, heart attacks, or Stroke. [2]

There are many types of heart diseases,

• Symptoms of heart disease in your blood vessels (atherosclerotic disease)
• Heart disease symptoms caused by abnormal heartbeats (heart arrhythmias) (0)
• Heart disease symptoms caused by heart defects
• Heart disease symptoms caused by weak heart muscle (dilated cardiomyopathy)
• Heart disease symptoms caused by heart infections
• Heart disease symptoms caused by valvular heart disease

When considering Mango, It has a great ability in preventing heart diseases. In addition to the above nutrient status, mango contains no fat or cholesterol as  It is scientifically proven that mean intake of total fats, saturated fatty acids (SFA) monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), cholesterol and total carbohydrates comparatively reduced with mango consumption which helps in preventing heart diseases. [3]

2.Prevent Cancers

Phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid have antioxidant properties and they perform free radical scavenging activities which are important in preventing cancer induction.

3.Regulate blood pressure

In addition to that  Sugars, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E, Vitamin C, and dietary fibers are increased with consumption of mangoes while intake of sodium will be reduced. Increased intake of dietary fiber will regulate serum cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. Reduced sodium levels in the body prevent the risk of cardiovascular diseases thus mango can be considered as a  sodium low fruit.

03. Bioactive compounds and functional benefits

Different parts of mango plants contain important bioactive compounds that are beneficial for human health. Stem bark yields Mangostin, 29-hydroxy mangiferonic acid and mangiferin, flower yield alkyl gallates. The root of mango contains the chromones while the leaf and flower yield an essential oil containing humulene, ocimene,  elements, and many others.

Fruit pulp contains vitamins A and C, β-carotene and xanthophylls. These bioactive compounds are used to treat several diseases such as diarrhea, dysentery, anemia, asthma, bronchitis, cough, hypertension and insomnia. All these parts are used to treat tumors, snakebites, datura poisoning etc.

In addition, several kinds of research conducted on mango reveal that It has anti-diabetic effects, an aqueous extract of the leaves possess hypoglycaemic activity. The mode of action is the intestinal reduction in the absorption of glucose. The results of this research also suggest that mango flour can possibly help in the treatment of diabetes.

Studies on mangiferin shown to have effects against Herpes simplex virus and to inhibit replication within cells and to antagonize the cytopathic effects of HIV.

When considering antiallergic activities of stem bark components like  Vimang and mangiferin, the study results have proven that natural extract could be successfully used in the treatment of allergic disorders. Mangiferin was the major contribution in the antiallergic effect. In addition to the above effects, mangiferin is responsible for anti-parasitic effects. However it is obvious that most of the functional properties of mango are bounded with mangiferin, hence it can be considered one of the most important functional components in mango.

This way mango helps to keep our life healthy. If you have any question please ask in the comment section below.
