Slow Down Aging – With Anti-Oxidants

November 7th, 2009 admin No comments

None of us wants to age. Even if that is inevitable, we all want to look young. That is also right because youth has a beauty that is absent in age. How anti oxidants can help you in fighting aged looks? Let us find out.

Anti-oxidants: what are they- our body is constantly attacked by pollution, sun rays and other damaging factors. While saving the body, we produce free radicals. They are oxygen molecules without an electron. These free radicals search around the body for a free electron. They take it from a healthy cell and kill it. That is very damaging to body and accelerates aging. Anti oxidants give an electron to these free radicals and stop them from damaging healthy cells. That is how they protect us from aging.

Anti Oxidants: how to use them. Most of the Vitamins such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E are anti oxidants. You get them from food. Beta-carotene that is a type of Vitamin a is an excellent anti oxidant. You get it from foods such as carrots. You can also take supplements of these Vitamins under a doctor’s advice. Some Vitamins are dangerous in higher dose. Selenium is another anti oxidant. Copper peptide is one more. Some of these anti oxidants are formulated in topical applications and can be used to maintain the young look of the skin. Many Vitamin formulations are available in the market to fight aging looks by application. Choose one carefully that suits your skin type. Speak to your doctor and fight the aging looks. Anti oxidants are our friends.

Grape seed anti0xidants found in grape seed extracts work will in conjunction with other vitamins and minerals. In fact, adding a grape seed extract to your diet is an important step in fighting the aging process

The Health Benefits of Grape Seed Extract

October 31st, 2009 admin No comments

There’s been quite a lot of talking lately about the wonders in the many uses of Grape Seed extract: it cures baldness; it stops aging processes within the human body; it renews nicotine-afflicted lungs; it prevents heart attacks.

Grape seed antioxidants are amongst the most powerful known and help slow down the aging process.

All this and more is been said about the health benefits of Grape Seed extract and its antioxidant effect nowadays, but… are all this “rumors” somewhat accurate? Can the simple grape seed bring all these marvels to the world?

Well, the truth is, “somewhat” does not go far enough, Grape Seed Antioxidants can, IN FACT provide MANY benefits to your health.

So, come along, as we pass onto you the true down-to-earth everyday facts about grape seed benefits. Even though it might not be a miracle cure for every single illness on Earth, you’ll notice it’s quite amazing just as it is.

NATURAL FACTS: Oxidation Factor.

At the root of many debilitating human diseases is oxidative stress at the cellular level. This oxidation factor through much study has been determined to be the cause of much illness t.

During the oxidation chemical process, electrons are transferred from a substance to an Oxidizing agent. This kind of chemical reactions can produce “free radicals”, which are – in a short description – molecules or atoms having unpaired electrons, and very likely to create chemical chain reactions which damage cells.

One of the best means we have to fight against this harmful oxidative processes is via antioxidants.
Through the use of antioxidant molecules, free radicals are reduced. This slows done the damage done to cells and gives them a chance to return to a healthy state.

RADICAL GRAPE

Grape seed extract is a natural substance which is extracted –obviously- out of the grape seed.
Now, this fluid has a huge concentration of the antioxidant chemicals we botanists call oligomeric proanthocyanidin (or OPC); actually, the concentration of OPCs contained in grape seed extract makes it about 20 times more powerful than vitamin C, and up to 50 times stronger than vitamin E.

OPCs protect the organism from “free radicals” and promote the passage of blood, thereby reinforcing the blood vessels in the circulatory system. Consequently, by improving blood circulation throughout the body at its full, it does have an effect on afflictions such as alopecia, even though the results will most definitely vary form one case to another, depending on the harshness of the problem.

It has been thoroughly proved by means of scientific studies that OPCs in grape seed extract are not only much more potent than vitamin C and E -just as stated above, but also remain in the human body for much longer –up to three complete days, all the while helping the organism defend itself from insidious “free radicals”.

TALE OF THE GRAPE

Studies on grape seed extract can be traced back to 1948 with French chemist Jacques Masquelier. The scientist began to observe how the bioflavonoid (a type of plant secondary organic composites not directly linked to the standard escalation of organisms) reinforced the blood vessels’ walls just a few hours after they had been ingested.

By the year of 1951, Masquelier was able to extract OPCs from Pine cortex. Only by 1970 was he able to do so out of the grape seed.

THE FRENCH COINCIDENCE?

Much like French perfume, French wine has a world-wide status, and France, being as famous as it is in matters of the Gods’ beverage, has one of the lower cardiac-arrest-related mortality rates in the whole globe. In addition, recent studies have demonstrated that the so called “French Paradox” is all about the presence of OPC within French wine.

GRAPE IT UP

There’s no doubt about it: Grape seed extract has a positive effect in the human organism.
