Slow Aging, Prevent Illness, or Enable Healing with Antioxidant Supplements!Anti what??? What is an antioxidant anyway, and why supplement?If you take antioxidant supplements recent research has indicated that one of the major causes of aging in your body can be stopped. That cause is what are known as free radicals. If you haven't done much reading in the health field recently, and don't listen to health news much, you may never have heard of "free radicals". Otherwise, you may have heard of them, but you probably don't have a very clear idea of what they are, or what difference they make. A simple explanation is that a free radical is a highly unstable molecule because it lacks an electron. So it tries to steal that electron from other molecules in the body in order to regain stability. There are times the body uses free radicals in certain cellular processes and immune responses, but, unless the body is able to maintain balance on the cellular level, these free radicals cause chain reactions that damage cell membranes, proteins, and even our genes. This results in chronic diseases such as arthritis, allergies, heart disease, or simply in faster aging. Antioxidants stop these damaging chain reactions in the body by neutralizing free radicals. They accomplish this by giving an electron to free radicals so that they become stable once again. This process is called reduction. Normal bodily functions cause some free radicals. However stress, environmental toxins, trans fats, processed foods, pollution, and many other factors of modern life also create them. So it isn't surprising that most of us have to deal with free radical overload in our bodies. Antioxidants are available in our food supply, however their potency is often affected by storage, as well as shipping and processing of food. Consequently it is becoming more and more difficult to get enough antioxidants in our diet to offset the barrage of free radicals we are dealing with. Antioxidant supplements truly enhance your body's ability to maintain vibrant health. I will list two classes of antioxidant supplements: Class one- those I know and use,and Class Two-those I've read about in research. This list will not be exhaustive since whole books have been written about antioxidants, but it should give you a good idea of which antioxidant supplements could improve your health. For more information about each supplement simply click on the link for further details. Class One:We currently use ashwagandha, coenzyme Q10, melatonin, minerals, and vitamins on a regular basis. We have found them all to provide noticeable health benefits.Class Two:I have repeatedly read in my research that Alpha-lipoic-acid, bioflavonoids, and flaxseed oil can also provide important and valuable antioxidant support.Antioxidant supplements strengthen our bodies by enabling us to overcome an imbalance of free radicals in our bodies. There are many different types available. If you buy them all individually, the cost of using them could be quite expensive. I have found that one of the best ways to support my body has been to take a supplement called "Advanced Anti-Oxidant with Echinacea & Garlic", put out by onelifeusa.com. Although I don't receive anything for recommending them, if you go to their website, at the bottom they have an offer where you can actually try one bottle of their antioxidant formula for free. I've been using it for years and it has given me very good results. It provides the major antioxidant vitamins as well as minerals that have antioxidant capabilities in a one capsule per day formula. The formula also includes several herbs, such as garlic and echinacea that boost the immune system. I have had a marked decrease in colds and flu since I started taking it, so I do believe it is effective.
You will find this an effective way to provide your body with the antioxidant support it needs to maintain or regain your health without emptying your bank account. Return from Antioxidant Supplements to Effective Health Supplements
