Importance of Antioxidants no comments
Antioxidants are found in much needed fruits and vegetables. They help to maintain a healthy immune system and lower your risk of infection and disease.
They are fruit and vegetable compounds that protect cells against the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species, such as singlet oxygen, superoxide, peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite. In your body, the antioxidant process is similar to stopping an apple from browning. An imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species results in oxidative stress, leading to cellular damage. Antioxidants in general have been linked to a number of potential health benefits, including protection against heart disease and cancer.
The benefits of antioxidants:
Antioxidants help decrease our risk of cardiovascular disease and cancers by fighting free radicals that are produced when we breathe in oxygen. Foods that are high in antioxidants are fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. It is interesting to note that in the normal concentrations found in the body, vitamin C and beta-carotene are antioxidants. These beneficial phytonutrients can be found in most fruits and vegetables but also culinary herbs and medicinal herbs can contain high levels of antioxidants.
Antioxidants, herbs, and other kinds of natural supplements are being applied to protect cells that are unintentionally damaged by cancer therapy where the damage is substantially less severe than that caused to the cancer cells. The ability to provide protection for non-target cells without interfering with the damage to cancer cells is based largely on the differential. They also generally boost the immune system which helps post operative recovery and keep harmful cholesterol from clogging your veins. Because they prevent the actions of harmful compounds in the body, anti-oxidants are also know as anti-ageing ingredients.
A good daily diet high in fresh fruits, vegetable and herbs helps to achieve antioxidant intake. However, the normal Western World diet of processed and fast foods, which is devoid of nutrients and high in man-made chemicals and preservatives does not supply high quality antioxidants.
If you wish to boost your daily intake of antioxidants, have a look at the clinically proven Antioxidant supreme which is an extract of 22 Fruits and Vegetables supplement.
