Don’t take aging lying down —
fight back with antioxidants

1. They put the brakes on aging.

Like a suit of armor inside our bodies, antioxidants protect our cells from unstable molecules called free radicals. This prolongs the life of our cells because it slows the rate at which they break down or “oxidize.” The result? Healthier cells on the inside translate to a healthier, more youthful appearance on the outside. The old adage you are what you eat has a lot of truth to it. A proper diet with foods rich in antioxidants will help prolong youthfulness. Natural antioxidant foods are fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes, nuts and seeds. Since most of us don’t get the antioxidant protection we need in food, supplementing is a good idea.

2. They beef up our immune system.

Those pesky age-accelerating free radicals inside our bodies love it when we get sick because it weakens our internal defenses. When that happens, free radicals seize the opportunity and start building their sinister forces. This makes our already vulnerable immune system work harder to fight the insurgence. Like an army that is spread too thin, the soldiers (healthy cells) can become overwhelmed, weak and defenseless. Antioxidant protection is important anytime, but especially when you are at a higher risk to become ill, such as during cold and flu season.

3. They protect our major organs.

Here we go again with those free radicals. After years and years of being bombarded with free radicals, our once-healthy cells become more and more damaged. The worst-case scenario is that eventually, the collective cells that make up organs become so damaged organs fail to function, such as the loss of vision or hearing as people age. This process of damage and dysfunction can have a profoundly negative impact on our health. Antioxidants like CoQ10 for the heart, bilberry for eye health and vitamins A, C and E for skin health protect and strengthen these organs by fending off free radicals.

4. They deliver a little extra health insurance.

We all know the importance of eating right and getting enough exercise to keep our bodies in tip-top shape. But how many of us really follow through? Do you eat the recommended 5 cups of fruits and vegetables every day? Do you get 20 to 30 minutes of moderate to rigorous exercise at least three times a week? For most of us, probably not. Every day, there are new breakthroughs supporting the life-changing benefit of a diet rich in antioxidants.

5. They work well as a supplement.

Antioxidant juice blends are powerful and convenient. Since we’ve already determined most of us don’t eat enough of the healthy foods we should, supplementing with antioxidants just makes sense. When selecting an antioxidant supplement buy a blend with the greatest variety of ingredients. A network of antioxidant protection is much more powerful than a singular focus. The ultimate antioxidant nutritional comes from accumulating the widest range of berries possible, not just a scattering of sources.

Final thought

Most of us need to take better care of ourselves. Eating right and supplementing with antioxidants is very simple. These steps can add tremendous quality of life down the road. Invest in yourself by investing in your health with an antioxidant supplement. Your body will thank you for it.
