Antioxidants
Antioxidants are needed by the body for neutralising free radicals. Free radicals are harmful chemicals produced by the body Anti-oxidants can be found naturally in fruit and vegetables and eating about 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day can increase the amount of anti-oxidants in your body. If you find it difficult to eat that much fruit and veg then the alternative is to take a supplement.
Examples of Antioxidants are:-
Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that helps to support the immune system, detoxify pollutants and protect against heart disease and cancer.
Vitamin E: (Natural D-Alpha Tocopheryl Succinate). Vitamin E is one of the most potent antioxidants and is of particular significance in slowing down the ageing process and preventing disease.
Selenium: Significantly enhances the activity of Vitamin E and has been shown to stimulate the immune system, protect against free radicals, detoxify the body of carcinogens and protect the liver.
Alpha Lipoic Acid: is a vitamin-like substance that is both water and fat soluble, meaning that it can protect against a wide range of free radicals. In addition it can help ‘unlock energy’ from food.
Co-Enzyme Q10: An antioxidant which aids energy production, improves exercise tolerance, blood pressure and boosts immunity.
Lycopene: The tomato extract responsible for their redness – is a potent antioxidant, particularly when combined with other antioxidants and may have particular value in protection against prostate, colon, lung, and bladder cancer.
Pine Bark Extract: A biologically active flavonoid and powerfulantioxidant. For generations, Native Indians recognised that the bark or needles of the pine tree had incredible healing properties.
Grape Seed Extract: Is rich in biologically active ‘procyanidins’ (OPCs), renowned for their powerful antioxidant effects. Studies show that the antioxidant activity of this extract is significantly greater than that of Vitamins C, E, or Beta-Carotene.
Eating antioxidants naturally in food is best achieved by varying the types of fruit, berries and veggies you eat - you can always try juices veg and fruit to give you an easier form of nutrients. Taking a supplement is an easy way although gives none of the additional benefits of the additional fruit and veg in your diet such as added fibre and liquid.
