Suffering from obesity is not enough vitamin E. Trying to reduce the caloric intake of the diet due to fat, fat people do not get this important antioxidant necessary to fight the disease.

Such data were obtained by scientists during the research. For people suffering from obesity, metabolic syndrome or metabolic disorders, it is extremely important to receive a sufficient amount of vitamin E.

Obesity is the cause of severe oxidative stress, which leads to the formation of harmful free radicals. Vitamin E is the strongest antioxidant and fights free radicals, slows down the aging of cells. It is fat-soluble and is found in fatty foods, which obesity people limit.

A new study showed that people with obesity have been disrupted by the intake of vitamin E in tissues and organs. The study involved two groups of individuals: healthy people and those suffering from a metabolic syndrome.

"We found that the tissues of people suffering from obesity, reject some lipids, because they already have enough fat. Simultaneously, the cells reject the vitamin E dissolved in the lipids, "explains the researcher of vitamin E.

Often, even when consuming foods containing vitamin E, it may not be absorbed by the body. The study suggested that fat-soluble vitamin E would be better absorbed in people with a higher daily intake of fat. The study showed that the amount of fat consumed per day does not affect the bioavailability of vitamin E, but attempts to lose weight can exacerbate its lack.

When people try to lose weight, often the first thing they do is limit fat intake. This makes sense when you try to cut calories, but fat is a common source of vitamin E, so a similar approach to diet can increase its deficiency, researchers added.

"It is necessary to develop a diet in which the amount of vegetable fats and vitamin E is sufficient for antioxidant protection. A total caloric intake should be reduced due to animal fat and "fast" carbohydrates - sugars. Obesity can not be ignored, and it's not about external beauty, but about the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and the overall burden on the body, "comments the researcher on vitamin E.
