Anti-Angiogenic Approach for Weight Loss

Angiogenesis, the process of blood vessel creation, is utilized by tumors to grow and fatty tissue to expand. The concept of anti-angiogenesis, opposing the creation of blood vessels, has been applied in cancer treatment. However, it can also be relevant in weight loss as obese individuals have highly vascularized fatty tissue. Many plant-based foods, such as tea, spices, berries, broccoli, and beans, contain anti-angiogenic properties. By incorporating these foods into our diet, we can potentially prevent the expansion of fat mass. Anti-angiogenic drugs exist but may have fatal side effects, making dietary approaches safer and more cost-effective.
