What is Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus (the endometrium, from endo, "inside", and metra, "womb") is found outside of the uterus, typically a...

Phytonutrients are naturally seen in fruits in vegetables. For instance, soy beans reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer. This is because the soy bean contains phytonutrients that play an active role in the amelioration of disease. Therefore, some foods such as soy beans, blueberries, barley and so on have ingredients that are not just considered nutrients but rather medicine that is not needed as previously thought for a normal balanced diet to equalize a person's metabolism but rather promote the function of the immune system, act directly against bacteria and viruses and reduce inflammation. Hence, many scientists have found that the leading aid of phytonutrients will deeply affect the treatments of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
There are eight families of phytonutrients established by researchers: 1. Flavonoids: Example: Red Wine and Green Tea 2. Phytosterols: Example: Soybean Oil 3. Capsaicinoids: Example: Chili Peppers 4. Isoflavones: Example: Soy Beans and Clover 5. Organosulfur compounds: Example: Sulfur which is essential in small amounts 6. Monoterpenes: Example: Orange Peels and Essential Oils 7. Saponins: Example: Soy Beans and Aloe 8. Isothiocyanates: Example: Kale and Cabbage |

Soya Bean - Little Miracle
Soya contains plant chemicals called saponins which stop the body from absorbing cholesterol - as little as one glass of soya milk a day can lower cholesterol levels by 10 per cent. But the latest work on soya - which is also packed with iron, zinc, calcium and B vitamins - concentrates on the plant oestrogens in the bean. There is growing evidence that suggests that oestrogens in soya offer protection against breast, bowel, endometrial (womb) and prostate cancers, cardiovascular disease and menopausal symptoms. The oestrogens in soya somehow modulate the sharp rises and falls in oestrogen levels that women experience throughout their reproductive lives, by binding themselves to oestrogen receptors in breast and uterine tissue. When oestrogen levels fall, as they do during menopause, soya's oestrogens raise them. When they are too high, as in women suffering from endometriosis, its plant oestrogens are able to lower levels. It is thought that a diet rich in soya can blunt hormonal surges at certain times of the month, which are thought to play a role in the formation of breast tumours. Soya contains a family of plant oestrogens named isoflavones. As well as modulating human oestrogen levels, isoflavones have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumours. In China and Japan, where women consume between 20 and 50 milligrams of isoflavones each day (compared with 1mg a day in the West), breast cancer rates are very low, with between 19 and 33 cases per 100,000 women, compared with 68 to 81 cases per 100,000 here.
