Antioxidants Help Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Benefits of antioxidants:
- Antioxidants Help
- Destroy the free radicals that damage cells.
- Promote the growth of healthy cells.
- Protect cells against premature, abnormal aging.
- Help fight age-related macular degeneration.
- Provide excellent support for the body’s immune system, making it an effective disease preventative.
No Matter What Your Age…You Need Antioxidants!
Give Yourself The Antioxidant Advantage!
Why Are Antioxidants Important?
Studies have shown that antioxidants may offer the best protection your body has against damaging free radicals!
A free radical is an unstable molecule that steals an electron from a stable molecule in order to satisfy its need for repair.
In doing so, this free radical destabilizes the stable molecule and creates another free radical in a vicious chain reaction of cellular destruction.
A single free radical can cause damage to millions of other molecules in you body, preventing your body from functioning properly!
This molecular destruction is continually occurring in your body!
Free radicals attack us from many different environmental sources every day.
Some of which are: alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, smoked and barbecued food, harmful chemicals and additives in the foods we eat, sun bathing and pollutants in the air we breath.
They assault your cells, large enzyme complexes, Vitamin C, and DNA.
After age 28, the major source of aging is the production of free radicals.
And with age, the amount of free radicals we produce increases.
Scientists have determined that very large amounts of free radicals accumulated in your body, may significantly shorten your life span.
HEREIN LIES THE IMPORTANCE OF ANTIOXIDANTS!
Studies over the last 20 years have shown that free radical fighters found in a certain group of nutrients, namely antioxidants, can protect against a great many free radical initiated diseases.
Antioxidants extinguish free radicals!
Free Radicals cause oxidation in the blood.
Once oxidation occurs, disease can result.
Antioxidants keep free radicals from causing oxidation in the blood, thus neutralizing disease.
Also, stress, chemical pollution, environmental pollution, and the normal aging process increase the demands put upon the immune system.
Studies indicate antioxidants do more than protect against free radicals; they also stimulate the immune system’s response to help fight existing diseases.
Antioxidant Formulas
- Powerful antioxidant formulas contain the following three groups of antioxidants.
- Proanthocyanidins and Anthocyanin (OPC’S)
- The Healing Curcuminoids
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid
… the "Universal Antioxidant"
Three Important Ingredients
- Hawthorn Berry – for your heart.
- Lycium Berry – for your liver and kidneys.
- Selenium
– another important antioxidant in mineral form.
We Would All Die Without Enzymes!
A terrifying statement, but unfortunately true.
If you removed all enzymes from the body, it would stop working and die!
Enzymes are responsible for the functions of every organ and every chemical action and reaction.
The basic enzymes needed comes from the food we eat.
Unfortunately, cooking foods destoys all the enzymes in those foods.
So it is necessary to obtain enzymes from raw food or special enzyme supplements.
These enzymes will give you added health benefits and will also aid your body in digesting this wonderful product so that you receive bigger and better results!
Antioxidants and three major ways they ward off premature aging and disease.
"THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH"?
Antioxidants are renowned for the protection they offer us against oxygen damage and free radicals.
Free radicals are believed to be partially responsible for the effect of aging (“Mayo Clinic Health Letter”, August 1993).
Scientists have discovered a link between longevity and the levels of antioxidants in the body.
The higher the levels of antioxidants, the longer a person can be expected to live.
As we age, our bodies produce fewer and fewer antioxidants.
The accumulation of cellular damage and rubbish from incomplete cellular repair, fuels the aging process.
Free radicals cannot be completely avoided as they are produced as a part of normal cellular function.
Fortunately there is a solution.
Supplementing the diet with antioxidants dramatically slows this aging process.
Antioxidant nutrients stabilize and neutralize the harmful effects of the free radicals.
Antioxidants have been shown in many studies to slow, halt, and, in some cases, even reverse the effects of aging caused by free radical damage.
Cancer Risk Decreased
Hundreds of different studies suggest that taking an antioxidant supplement is linked to a reduced risk of virtually all cancers. ("Mayo Clinic Health Letter")
Cataract Risk Decreased
Cataracts are suspected to be caused by the oxidation of protein in the eye. Dozens of studies show that Vitamins C and E, and Beta-Carotene may help prevent some lens clouding. Being that oligomeric polyphenol proanthocyandins (OPC’s), anthocyanins, curcuminoids and alpha-lipoic acid, in regards to antioxidant activity, are considered by the scientific community to be 50 or more times stronger than Vitamin E and 20 times more potent than Vitamin C, it would be safe to conclude their effectiveness in the treatment of this debilitating eye disease as well.
The Antioxidant Solution
To maintain our health and well being, it is clearly imperative that we must supplement our diets with natural
antioxidants.
