Nutrition Nugget: Luteolin
Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about luteolin. It’s not a new supplement. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been using luteolin for centuries to treat diseases such as hypertension, inflammatory disorders, and as anti cancer. There seems to be a few different biological effects like anti inflammation, anti allergy, and anti cancer. A unique quality of luteolin is that it seems to be able to function as an antioxidant or a prooxidant, but more research is needed to fully understand these functions. Perhaps most beneficial for our modern lives, there is a potential tie between luteolin and reducing or improving brain fog, social interactions, anxiety, and depression.. Tune in to learn the foods you can eat to give you more luteolin in your diet. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full length episodes; new releases every Wednesday.
