Antioxidants
If you’ve noticed how an apple turns brown when it’s cut or how iron rusts
when exposed to the elements, you’ve seen the effects of oxidation. Oxidation
causes similar damage to the cells of the body. But unless you have discovered
how to live without breathing, you cannot escape the consequences of oxidation.
It takes place whenever you breathe, digest food, exercise, or even sleep –
and produces potentially harmful agents called free radicals.
Free radicals are
unstable molecules that trigger chain reactions that eat away at the cells of
the body and damage the genetic material they contain. Countless free-radical
chain reactions take place in the body each day. In addition, emotional stress,
ultraviolet light, air pollution, and cigarette smoke also generate free
radicals that can put your health at risk.
Fortunately, nature
provides antioxidants – factors which have been shown to be helpful in
minimizing the effects of free radicals. The most important antioxidants
include:
-
Certain vitamins
and carotenoids
-
Glutathione, L-cysteine,
alpha lipoic acid
-
Certain minerals
such as Zinc and Selenium
-
Components found
in plants, such as ginkgo biloba, bilberry, resveratrol and green tea
