Antiaging Antioxidants

Antiaging antioxidants are required each day by each cell in our bodies. By consuming antiaging antioxidants, we can maintain our healthy bodies. Antioxidants quench the oxidation, which is much like rust on metal.

What is Oxidation? Think of it this way. We breathe to bring oxygen into our body. The oxygen is transported through the blood stream and is received into each cell of our bodies. Then, as each cell “fires up,” oxygen is burned and waste byproducts are released. These are then expelled into the blood stream for removal from the body.

Have you heard talk about free radicals? This is what the by-products of oxidation are often called. Antioxidants act as free radical scavengers to prevent and repair damage to the body.

So now we know that every cell in the body is constantly burning oxygen and releasing toxins. If we do not take in the materials needed by the body to control the oxidants in the body, we can experience side effects such as faster aging, inflammation and disease.

Health problems such as heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer, and others are all contributed by oxidative damage.

Antiaging antioxidants are imperative in our bodies. Inflammation comes from too many uncontrolled oxidants in the body which are not being countered by antioxidants. If we can reduce the amount of oxidants, we can reduce inflammation.

Quality of life can be improved. More energy results. We are able to think better. We have the energy to exercise more.

Nutrition for overcoming the flood of uncontrolled oxidants is often lacking in our basic diets. Our foods are grown in depleted soil, picked green for shipping, contaminated by chemicals along the way, and then they may be processed and microwaved so that nothing “live” is left by the time we consume them.

Foods Rich in Antiaging Antioxidants

• Beta-carotene is found in many foods that are orange in color, including carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, cantaloupe, apricots, pumpkin and mangos. Some leafy green vegetables, such as collard greens, spinach and kale are also rich in beta-carotene.

• Lutein, associated with eye health, is found in green, leafy vegetables such as collard greens, spinach and kale.

• Lycopene is a potent antioxidant found in tomatoes, watermelon, guava, papaya, apricots, pink grapefruit, and blood oranges.

• Selenium is a mineral and is a component of antioxidant enzymes. Plant foods like rice and wheat are the major sources of selenium; however, this is determined by the amount of selenium in the soil and varies by region. Animals that eat grains or plants grown in selenium-rich soil have higher levels of selenium in their muscles which become our meats.

• Vitamin A is rich in liver, sweet potatoes, carrots, milk, egg yolks and mozzarella cheese.

• Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is contained in many fruits and vegetables.

• Vitamin E is found in almonds, many oils, and in mangos, nuts, sunflower seeds, broccoli and other foods.

Are We Really Getting Enough Antioxidants?

Many companies have researched the best way to supplement antiaging antioxidants. There are a broad range of types, such as the super juices, capsules, powders, and tablets. Multi-level marketing is often the choice of how to market these, because this allows for personal recommendations and website information pages. Antioxidants in the grocery stores could easily be overlooked by shoppers who do not know they should be looking for such great food sources.

I suggest that you examine your own dietary habits to determine your needs for supplements. Do you eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and low-fat proteins and dairy foods? Do these foods come from organic farms with nutrient-rich soil?

In my case, I know I don’t eat as well as I should. So I supplement with good-quality super juices, vitamins and whole-food capsules.
