Free Radicals | Antioxidant Defense

OVERVIEW
Free radicals are created simply as we breathe which cause damage at your cellular level. Think back to what you learned in basic biology about your body's cells. Do you remember that stable cells are paired? When cells are split they become unstable and frantically bombard your system causing damage to your healthy cells and DNA. Antioxidants protect your body from cell damaging free radicals by pairing with the unstable cells.

SOURCES OF ANTIOXIDANTS
Do you still believe you can get the nutrition your body needs simply through the food you eat? In today's world for lots of reasons the foods we eat simply do not have the nutrients necessary for optimal immune system health.

- Primary Antioxidants are produced by the body, with the proper diet
- Secondary Antioxidants are found in food and need to be ingested daily. Examples include vitamins A, C, E, and some of the super juices.

Many people attempt to take care of the problem by drinking a fruit juice high in antioxidants. But experts say that a single super fruit by itself simply can't provide the wide range of antioxidants needed for good health. It is generally agreed that you must supplement your diet in order to get the necessary fuel for healthy living.

There are thousands of things that occur daily that create these free radicals - even in the air we breathe. Various super fruits like acai, mangosteen, gogi berry, pomegranate, red grapes are excellent for creating secondary antioxidants to deal with specific free radicals - but not all of them.

ARE YOU GET ENOUGH VITAMINS & MINERALS
Primary antioxidants must be produced by the body. Even a blend of super juices can only provide secondary antioxidants. To make certain that your has high levels of primary antioxidants requires that you have the proper nutrients including vitamins and minerals.

Stay Positive - Live Healthy!
