Antioxidants Nutrition Anti-Aging Blog

We have a cool blog here folks, or at least as cool as you can make a blog about antioxidants. But hey it's not exactly cool to look like a wrinkled prune before your time and antioxidants can help prevent wrinkles.

This may almost seem retarded to some but hey bear with us, here are some basic definitions.

Free Radical – this occurs when an atom is robbed of one of its electrons. That atom is then no longer in a balanced state, and begins to seek out other atoms from which to take the electron that is missing. This can cause unbalanced electrons in the atom to bounce around damaging other cells, to genetic material (DNA), proteins, and fats. Most experts agree this damage can lead to chronic and age-related diseases.

Antioxidants – these are of two types endogenous (made within the body) and exogenous (from foods or supplements). Antioxidants work by donating electrons to free radicals, neutralizing them. Once they have done their jobs, antioxidants can become free radicals themselves, and they need the support of other antioxidants to replenish their electrons.

With the exception of vitamin C, high-dose supplements of any kind aren't as beneficial as balanced amounts of a wide spectrum of natural antioxidant nutrients Including vitamins C, E, the carotenes, coenzyme Q10, alpha lipoic-acid, and antioxidant herbal extracts from green tea, ginger, curcumin, and grape seeds and others. Although the OPC in Grape Seed Extract tends to act as a network of antioxidans would. A network of various antioxidants tend to balance each other. Without this balancing effect, an antioxidant could literally be harmful by having a paradoxical oxidant effect in the body.

Antioxidants from fruits and vegetables help to protect skin against damage from UVA and UVB rays, pollutants, and stress.

Antioxidant supplements are an important ally against premature skin aging and skin conditions related to lack of nutrients. Coenzyme Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, and a full spectrum vitamin E supplement (one that includes several tocopherols and tocotrienols) are a good start. Your supplement program should also supply plenty of vitamin C, carotenoids, and selenium.
