Antioxidants.
By Charles Silverman
Many of the
studies and researches done lately focused on the nutrients known as antioxidants.
Scientists
are beginning to understand the preventing qualities of antioxidants but
the average person does not yet understand what antioxidants do or what
they are. But you will have the knowledge after reading this newsletter.
Understanding
the function of antioxidants is not hard and taking advantage of their
properties is quite simple. Diseases like Cancer and arteriosclerosis,
are unable to advance and spread throughthe body, thanks to the actions
of antioxidants like Vitamin C, A, E Beta-carotene and others. By blocking
and neutralizing the destructive power of too much free radicals.
These antioxidants allow us to prevent major diseases, a clear example
of this is the remarkable reduction of breast cancer in women that consume
raw and cocked spinach and carrots.
Why are they
called antioxidant?
Latest researches
have shown scientists that oxygen, the gas we depend on to live, creates
some very harmful by-products that destroy the very life it helps sustain.
There are several vitamins that reverse or
slow the oxidation cause by oxygen, that is the reason they call them antioxidants.
Oxidation,
the reaction of oxygen with other chemicals, is the process that causes
metals to rust, wood to burn, and a sliced apple to turn brown. As a matter
of fact, if you coat a sliced apple withan antioxidant such as vitamin
C, the apple will take a lot longer to change color.
It is best
to remember that vitamin and mineral supplements should never be used as
substitutesfor a healthy, well balanced diet! It is also important to note
that we can "over- supplement" our bodies, taking much more than the recommended
daily value of certain vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins A
and E are fat soluble, meaning that excess amounts are stored in the liver
and fatty tissues, instead of being quickly excreted, creating a risk of
toxicity and disease. Your best bet is to eat a diet rich in fruits, veggies,
and whole grains. Sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, cantaloupe,and mangoes
are great sources of antioxidants.
A healthy level
of free radicals is needed by the body in order to get rid of bacteria.
Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that have at least one unpaired
electron, which makes them highly reactive. Free radicals promote beneficial
oxidation that produces energy and kills bacterial invaders. In excess,
however, they produce harmful oxidation that can damage cell membranes
and cell contents.
It is known
that people who eat adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidantshave
a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and cataracts.
Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, but it is not known which
dietary factors are responsible for the beneficial effects. Each plant
contains hundreds of phytochemicals (plant chemicals) whose presence is
dictated by hereditary factors. Only well-designed long-term research can
determine whether any of these chemicals, taken in a pill, would be useful
for preventing any disease.
Without a doubt
antioxidants are a vital tool in our fight against diseases, we all agree
that sometimes eating the right thing is difficult but when compared with
pain and suffering that we can bring to ourselves by cancer, arthritis
or arteriosclerosis, a bowl of salad and an orange seems like a very
tasty choice.
