Anthocyanins regulate many different pathways involved in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) &#8211; COX inhibition is only one of the effects of these phytochemicals.\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27846846\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/27846846\/<\/a><\/p><p>Anthocyanins can diminish the overall effectiveness of the cyclooxygenase enzyme as well but also have many more heart-protective aspects. Flavonoids are known to enhance longevity and health and reduce cardiovascular risk. This is one reason why plant-based diets can be so healthy. Studies looking at the cardiovascular effects of anthocyanins have found benefits in LDL oxidation, lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant capacity, and reduced levels of CVD biomarkers. The most common cause of mortality and morbidity from CVD is due to atherosclerosis, in particular, unstable clots. Reducing inflammation of the vessel wall and the instability of the plaquing is beneficial overall. Many believe that controlling the ox-LDL levels will prevent many complications. Flavonoids can provide such protection. Heart tissue is especially prone to damage from oxidative stress and flavonoids are protective from that as well.\u00a0 Flavonoids like cyanidin also reduce the activity of the NF-kB transcription factor and this too will reduce cellular damage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f7d2ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f7d2ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Should You Take A Natural COX-2 Inhibitor?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1bd343 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f1bd343\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Assuming that all the risk factors that are very strongly associated with CVD are controlled, such as smoking, obesity, diabetes, genetics, physical inactivity, poor diet, and high levels of bad cholesterol, then tart cherries should not raise the risk of heart disease, but rather be protective. Other sources would include acai, chokeberry, elderberry, strawberry, and so on.
