Antioxidant Specialist - Benefits

Scientists in the past decades have made some giant discoveries on Anti-Aging with the discovery of crucial compounds of unstable oxygen molecules called the free radicals (tiny little chemical terrorists). Simply speaking, free radicals attack molecules with a "missing electron". They are very unstable, and are desperately searching to steal electrons from other normal molecules which make up your tissues, cells, and organs. This process is called oxidation - which is very much like rusting! In fact, these free radicals are such rapid and efficient thieves, scientists estimate that in just one second over 50 million free radicals can steal electrons from your DNA or your mitochondria (small battery-like structures within your cells). This seriously damages your cells, your cells' batteries, and you! (Have you ever tried to start your car with a dead battery?)

Free Radicals Cause a Chain-Reaction of Destruction

The speed at which these radicals do the damage is incredible. Some species of free radicals (called Hydroxyls) can steal electrons IN ONE BILLIONTH OF A SECOND! Other free radicals which are more common are less agile, but just as deadly. These free radicals will attack any molecule or cell it comes in contact – FAT, PROTEIN, DNA, MITOCHONDRIA, SUGAR. Worse yet, these newly-damaged molecules themselves become free radicals (kind of like being bitten by a vampire). These newly converted free radicals continue to attack other molecules or cells, starting a chain reaction of destruction!

OXIDATION CAUSES BODY DAMAGE DON'T LET RUST ATTACK YOU!

Free radicals' destructive paths and oxidative damage have been the cause of almost all major disease.  Oxidation is a natural process that occurs around us all the time. One example of oxidation is rusting. When metal rusts, it becomes weak and flakey. It can't do what it is supposed to do. It is damaged by oxidation. This exact same process happens in your body!  Just like rusting metal, the cells, organs, and other parts of your body can be damaged by oxidation. This can lead to diseases, like Cancer and Heart Disease.

WIN THE WAR AGAINST FREE RADICALS AND AGING

"As antibiotics in the last fifty years of the twentieth century helped cure many infectious diseases, so antioxidants will affect a cure of many supposedly incurable diseases in the twenty-first century and slow the aging process dramatically. We know that most degenerative diseases are linked to free radical damage." - James F. Balch, M.D.

Studies performed by the US Department of Agriculture at Tufts University show that eating plenty of high ORAC SCORE foods:

- Raises the antioxidant power of human blood 10 to 25 percent.
- Prevents some loss of long-term memory and learning ability in middle-aged rats.
- Maintains the ability of brain cells in functions that normally decrease with age.
- Protects tiny blood vessels (capillaries) against oxygen damage.

ANTIOXIDANT SPECIALIST^Tm TO THE RESCUE!

If the toxic compounds and the creating of free radicals do not overwhelm the body and deplete all the antioxidant reserves, this sensitive balance of free radicals and antioxidants allows the control and repair of free radical damage. Unless we replenish the antioxidants from supplements supplied from outside natural sources, there will quickly be a cascade of cellular and tissue damage which leaves permanent diseases in the vital organs of your body. Your cells will eventually begin to fail, and ultimately you will lose your good health.

Damage From Oxygenated Free Radicals Can Be Associated With: Alzheimer's Disease, Arthritis, Rheumatism, Cancer, Cataracts & other visual problems, Circulation Problems, Cold Toes & Fingers, Inflammatory Conditions, Collagen Loss (Which Shows Up As Aging & Wrinkling), Kidney & Liver Disorders, Pancreatitis, Parkinsonism, Retinitis, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Senility, Strokes, Vascular Disorders (such as Angina and Heart Disease).
