A brief of antioxidant food supplements

Antioxidant food supplementAntioxidant supplements take part in a protective role for our general health.  Antioxidants supplements are theoretical to postpone the oxidation reactions which are is caused by the free radicals. The Free radicals are extremely reactive unstable atoms produced in our body that can damage cells causing to ageing and a number of diseases. They can damage the DNA, proteins and other cellular structures like the cell organelles and membranes.

The reactions of free radicals in the cell, and subsequent damage inflicted has been associated with various disorders and chronic diseases including atherosclerosis, arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes and also inflammatory conditions

Antioxidants supplements are able to slow down or obstruct these dangerous reactions in the body.  They can halt the oxidation reaction with intermediates or directly. They react with the free radicals and put off the oxidation reaction from occurring. 

Antioxidants supplements can be used as tablets and capsules or taken as dietary supplements. They can provide a range of benefits for our health. (more…)

How to select and store broccoli

Posted by kemston | Broccoli, Healthy Tips | Wednesday 5 May 2010 5:55 pm

The best way to choose a good broccoli is to look at the color, which should  be compact and not bruised. They should be uniformly colored, either dark green, sage or purple-green, depending upon variety, and with no yellowing. In addition, they should not have any yellow flowers blossoming through, as this is a sign of over maturity.

The stalk and stems should be firm with no slimy spots appearing either there or on the florets. If leaves are attached, they should be vibrant in color and not wilted.

Broccoli is very perishable and should be stored in open plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper where it will keep for a week. Since water on the surface will encourage its degradation, do not wash the broccoli before refrigerating. (more…)

Broccoli

Rich in chromium, a trace element that appears in blood glucose. The trace mineral regulates blood sugar, which often reduces medication and insulin requirements in diabetes. In cases of mild diabetes, chromium prevents the onset of the disease completely. If someone in glucose tolerance, chromium can help control it. Even a low blood sugar can be put into normal Chrome.

Tomatoes and Broccoli Team Up to Fight Prostate Cancer

Posted by kemston | Antioxidant, Broccoli, Tomato | Saturday 3 April 2010 4:33 pm

Tomatoes and broccoli-two vegetables separately recognized for their cancer-fighting capabilities-are even more successful against prostate cancer when working as a team in the daily diet, shows a study published in Cancer Research.

“When tomatoes and broccoli are eaten together, we see an additive effect. We think it’s because different bioactive compounds in each food work on different anti-cancer pathways,” said John Erdman, Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois.

Starting one month before male rats were implanted with prostate tumors, Erdman and doctoral candidate Kirstie Canene-Adams fed the animals one of 5 different diets. Then they compared the cancer-preventive effects of the diets to treatment with finasteride, a drug commonly prescribed for men with enlarged prostates, or surgical castration. (more…)

Oxygen is the basis of all plant and animal life. It is our most important nutrient, needed by every cell, without it we cannot release the energy in food which drives all body processes; Oxygen is chemically reactive and highly dangerous, in normal biochemical reactions oxygen can become unstable and capable of “oxidising neighbouring molecules”, leading to cellular damage, which triggers cancer, inflammation, arterial damage and aging;
Known as free oxidising radicals, this body waste must be disarmed to remove the danger; Free radicals are made in all combustion processes including smoking, the burning of petrol to create exhaust fumes, radiation, frying or barbecuing food and normal body processes;
Chemicals capable of disarming free radicals are called antioxidants. The main players are vitamins A, C and E plus beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A that is found in fruit and vegetables;
Bioflavonoids, anthocyanadins, pycnogenol and over a hundred other antioxidants, may literally be the balance between life and death;
A low calorie diet high in antioxidant nutrients is the best way to slow down the aging process; (more…)

Health Benefits of Broccoli

Posted by kemston | Broccoli | Monday 25 January 2010 7:45 pm

Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and is closely related to cauliflower. Its cultivation originated in Italy. Broccolo, its Italian name, means “cabbage sprout.” Because of its different components, broccoli provides a range of tastes and textures, from soft and flowery (the floret) to fibrous and crunchy (the stem and stalk). Do not let the smell of the sulfur compounds that are released while cooking keep you away from this highly nutritious vegetable.

Broccoli is a fiber find. Not only is it a rich source, but half of its fiber is insoluble and half is soluble, helping to meet your needs for both types of fiber. But the story doesn’t end with broccoli’s rich array of nutrients. Broccoli provides a health bonus in the form of protective substances that may shield you from disease. Botanically, broccoli belongs to the cabbage family, collectively known as cruciferous vegetables. (more…)
