Higher polyphenol intake reduces obesity risk 🍒
A long-term strategy for obesity management?
The association of dietary polyphenols with obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Study Details
This new meta-analysis compiled data from 10 studies and over 100,000 participants to establish the association between polyphenols intake and obesity 📚
Here is what they found ⬇️
Key Findings
📉 When polyphenolic compounds were pooled, they were linked to a significant 9% lower risk of obesity
🫐 Total intake of flavonoids (e.g. berries, citrus, cocoa) were associated with a 23% lower risk of obesity
🥣 Total isoflavones (e.g. soybeans, tofu, miso) were associated with a 7% lower risk of obesity
❌ No significant association was found for flavones, flavanones, flavanols, and anthocyanins
Conclusion
Higher polyphenol intake (primarily driven by flavonoids) is associated with significantly lower risk of obesity 🍓
Including daily intakes of polyphenol-rich food can support metabolic health and body composition ✅
