Antioxidants and the Flu

November 13th, 2009 admin No comments

What kind of food and drink will help your immune system?

Food and supplements that contain  antioxidants. Green tea, blueberries, dark chocolate, grape seed extract, beta carotene (carrots) and acai berries are just some of the sources of antioxidants.

Studies have shown that antioxidants help boost the immune systems as well as prevent damage to cells by free radicals.

A recent study showed that antioxidants are useful in preventing damage to the lungs caused the flu virus. Without being too technical, the antioxidants prevent influenza viruses’ M2 protein from damaging lung cell proteins.

If you are concerned by the swine flu (H1N1 virus) or any other flu virus adding antioxidants to your daily diet is a good idea.

Oregano oil is another powerful anti-virus, antioxidant that I keep in my medicine cabinet. I place a few drops of the oregano oil into gelatin capsules to take whenever I think I might have been exposed to a cold virus or flu virus

Vitamin C is a traditional antioxidant that should be increased  when dealing with influenza. Tomatoes  contain antioxidants and other fresh vegetables do as well.

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
