Antioxidants

twentieth century and have been well documented

concerning their potential to support body health.


And now, Scientists are using Antioxidants to Reverse the Signs of Aging!

How Do Anti Oxidants Work?

Anti Oxidants are molecules capable of slowing or preventing

the oxidation of other molecules.

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a

substance to an oxidizing agent.

Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain

reactions that damage cells.

Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free

radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by

being oxidized themselves.

Stay Youthful with Anti Oxidants Protection

Anti Oxidants are found exclusively in Plants (Fruits and

vegetables) because they provide natural protection from

environmental damage.

This protection goes right down to the DNA level.

You can benefit also by taking Anti Oxidants in a Natural Supplement

Know Your Antioxidant Foods

Natural antioxidants are most abundant in fruits and vegetables,

as well as in other foods including grains, nuts, and some red

meats, poultry and fish.

They include:

Beta-carotene: found in many foods that are orange in

colour, including carrots, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, apricots,

squash, pumpkin, and mangos.

Some green leafy vegetables are also rich in beta-carotene.

Some of these include collard greens, spinach, and kale.

Lycopene: Commonly found in

tomatoes, watermelon, papaya, guava, apricots, pink grapefruit

and blood oranges.

Lutein: found in green, leafy vegetables such as spinach,

collard greens, and kale.

Vitamin A: found in three main forms: retinol (Vitamin A1),

3,4-didehydroretinol (Vitamin A2), and 3-hydroxy-retinol (Vitamin

A3). Foods rich in vitamin A include liver, carrots, sweet

potatoes, egg yolks, milk and mozzarella cheese

Vitamin C: found in high concentrations in many fruits and

vegetables.

Vitamin E: also known as Alpha-tocopherol, is found in

many oils including wheat germ, corn, safflower and soybean

oils, and is also found in mangos, nuts (almonds), broccoli and

other foods.

Lipoic Acid: used to counteract free radicals in the cell

mitochondria, a process which may help to slow down aging.

Lipoic acid is also thought to be effective in recycling other

anti oxidants back into their original form after they detoxify

free radicals.

Green Tea: contains Polyphenols (Catechins) and Flavonols.

The high anti oxidant content of green tea makes it beneficial for

protecting the body from oxidative damage due to free radicals.

Coenzyme Q10: is essential for cell mitochondria, where is

helps to produce energy from fats and sugars.

Coenzyme Q10 decreases with age, so supplementation may help to

increase cellular energy.

Selenium:is a mineral and an important component of most

anti oxidant enzymes.

Sources include rice, wheat and Brazil nuts.

Resveratrol:Naturally existing in the skin of grapes,

resveratrol has been associated with many health benefits.


Know the Concentration of Antioxidants in your Food

The anti oxidant value of foods is measured by a value known as

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, shortened to ORAC.

Foods which rank high on the ORAC chart include:

Chocolate: Good news for chocolate lovers!

Dark chocolate has high Bioflavinoid content and ranks high in

anti oxidant activity.

Berries: For example Acai berries contain many times the

anti oxidant content of red grapes.

They are also high in Anthocyanins, containing much more than red

wine.

Other berries and fruits high on the ORAC include:

Noni Pomegranate Gogi Blueberry

Raspberry Black Cherry

Mangosteen has become a very popular fruit because they

contain Xanthones in the outer rind of the fruit.
