On the occasion of the 17th United Nations Diabetes Day, major medical institutions have taken action to call on and remind people of the importance of preventing diabetes through free clinics and health education, and encourage people to improve their lifestyles to prevent and manage diabetes. Addressing and paying attention to diabetes and its complications has become a health challenge that "diabetics" must face.
Experts say "oxidative stress" is an important cause of complications
The advent of insulin has made diabetes not a scary thing. What is scary is diabetic complications, because complications are the main cause of disability and death for diabetic patients. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, there are more than 100 complications of diabetes, making it the disease with the most known complications. Therefore, taking effective measures to delay the occurrence of complications is a key part of protecting the health of diabetic patients.
"King of Antioxidants" Astaxanthin is beneficial in treating diabetes
In the management of diabetes, in order to solve the problem of elevated blood sugar and prevent complications, it is necessary to treat the oxidative damage of pancreatic islet β cells and protect the normal pancreatic islet β cells from oxidation. Therefore, antioxidant treatment is the treatment of the cause of diabetes complications, and as a new generation of antioxidants, astaxanthin has become the focus of research on antioxidant treatment of diabetes.
Relevant studies at home and abroad show that as the strongest antioxidant found in nature, astaxanthin can effectively remove free radicals produced by oxidative stress in the human body and reduce the damage caused by free radicals to the body. According to the article "Astaxanthin's Super High Antioxidant Power Helps Treat Diabetes" published on the official website of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Russian scientists found that astaxanthin's super antioxidant power is helpful in the treatment of diabetes.
Astaxanthin becomes a "magic assist" for "diabetic patients" to protect their health
At present, a large number of studies at home and abroad have shown that astaxanthin is the strongest natural substance that resists oxidative stress. Its antioxidant activity is several times that of zeaxanthin, lutein, canthaxanthin, β-carotene and lycopene, and a hundred times that of Contains vitamin E, which has active preventive and auxiliary therapeutic effects on diabetes and its complications. For the majority of diabetic patients, in addition to adopting an active and healthy lifestyle, reasonable supplementation of astaxanthin is also a good choice.
