Antioxidant 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…)

Recent scientific research has suggested that pomegranates might be effective in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.

A study in human prostate cancer cells in lab dishes, at the University of Wisconsin found that improvements are dose dependent. Another study in the same facility injected mice with human prostate cancer cells. These mice developed malignant tumors. Some mice were fed with pure water, while the two groups of mice were given water mixed with different concentrations of pomegranate extract.

Mice with only water had tumors that grew much faster than pomegranate and water groups. The quantities given to mice were similar to what people get when they drank pomegranate juice on a daily basis. And while pomegranate juice not been studied in people with prostate cancer have been but the results are very good. (more…)

Green tea and red wine all this time is believed as champion foodstuffs that highest contains antioxidant. No wonder if then green tea added to foodstuff sort.

In point of fact, the two champion most defeats by antioxidant that there be on red pomegranate.
Researchers from `University Of` California, Berkeley, announces pomegranate juice contain substance antioxidant thrice higher than substance antioxidant that contained on red wine and green tea. 

Prof. Michael Aviram, one that chair research about pomegranate juice at Israel proves that pomegranate juice feels equal to reduce heart disease cause.

Its explanation, deuce pomegranate can down LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) rate and increases HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) until 20%. Oxidation LDL – one is believed researchers as cause of majority of arises it heart disease – can be reduced until is more than 90%. (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…)
