Recent researches have determined functions of mustard for enhancement of hard muscles and stamina

Certain recent studies have set some benefits of mustard. Everyone knows that it is a good remedy which adds pleasant flavor to meal. Furthermore, it has been discovered that mustard can help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A study related to mustard has been conducted by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been reported under results of the research that a compound that is named “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs is able to increase lean muscle mass and strength in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide represents a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid that has been found in plants which are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it may promote growing plants. But no one has been aware about its function in mammals. The specialists have defined that homobrassinolide is capable to lead to anabolic effects in mammals. It induces increasing synthesis of protein, stimulates appetite and increases muscle mass through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been implicated in the research. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been used in order to check changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been observed that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have acquired significantly more muscle mass than those that have not received this compound.
Increase of muscle size indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Increased BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to stay lean.
So, the research has clearly displayed that homobrassinolide increases protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers that play an essential role for enhancement of energy.
Experts suggest that such plants, as mustard, can be used for more enhanced brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, enhance it and prevent certain illnesses.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce preparations that will be useful in case of some diseases linked with muscle wasting. Such products can be used as alternative drugs to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no undesirable consequences.
Leaves of mustard are low-calorie. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory features. Moreover, they represent a brilliant source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may be applied for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to take at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to receive certain benefits.
