Pretty weird.
Here’s a rotten, smelly food that’ll help cure you of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, heart attack and dementia (and even more).
Call it an all-in-one package that could lead to a healthier, more disease-free life.
A team of researchers from the University of Exeter have developed an interesting compound called “AP39” that has been found to have a protective effect on mitochondria.
Let us first look at what mitochondria are. We know that energy is needed for all activities and our very existence. Mitochondria are the organelles inside our cells that are responsible for producing energy through a series of processes.
These organelles determine which cells will survive and which will die, and they play an important role in inflammation. Mitochondria power the cells in the blood vessels too.
Considering how important it is, it is not surprising that any damage to mitochondria can result in a plethora of diseases—stroke, heart disease, dementia, diabetes and arthritis. Mitochondrial damage can also speed up the aging process.
Now the cells have a way to reverse mitochondrial damage.
This is what happens: When the cells experience stress and the mitochondria get affected, the cells draw in certain enzymes that can produce hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide helps repair damaged mitochondria and restore its vital function. In fact, the compound AP39 developed by the scientists delivers this gas to the cells to keep them alive.
What does this all have to do with rotten eggs? Well, rotten eggs are a rich source of hydrogen sulfide. In fact, the stinky intolerable smell in the rotten eggs is due to this gas!
Does this mean you should stuff up on rotten eggs to keep the mitochondria ticking? It’s not advisable at least until there is enough evidence! Until then keep yourself fit with healthy food and exercises!
