Health Benefits of Antioxidants...How Will You Be Affected?

What is the real health benefit of antioxidants?

Ok, we know what harm free radicals can do to us.

We also know how antioxidants can 'fight' them.

So...the big question is, what is the health benefit of antioxidants?

I want you to imagine inside your body for a minute, think of all the changes that are happening when oxidation (basically,rusting up) occurs for long periods. 

The whole process can really take it's toll on your whole system. Such as....

• Changes in cells
• Cell membranes deterioating 
• Damage, to fatty acids
• Enzymes inactive 
• Damaged DNA (high risk of cancer)
• Damage to arteries (risk of heart attack)

All these changes lead to eventual disease and premature aging. 

So by taking antioxidants in our foods and supplements we can, hopefully slow the progression of certain chronic degenerative disorders, a real health benefit there.

Let me say at this point, currently there is no proof that taking antioxidant supplements prolongs the life span of humans....but (and a big but), there is enough evidence collected on the benefits of antioxidants, that we should not dismiss it. The health benefit of antioxidants is quite clear.

Will you see or feel any dramatic changes immediately by taking antioxidants?

Nope....There will be no sudden energy boosts, no improved alertness, no mood enhancement or memory improvements (you may notice improvement with your eyesight and vision with alpha lipoic acid ). We are not looking at short term here. Let me illustrate....

A good way to understand how you are affected is to compare it to a kind of health insurance.

You make your monthly payments regularly each month, but you don't get the benefits until years later when it's time to pay the hospital bill!

So taking a good mix of antioxidants is similar to an investment too, a long term investment, a very precious investment.....your body! 

So what conditions do antioxidants benefit in the long term?

Well it's quite likely that as well as slowing down the aging process of our bodies the following could also be slowed down, even avoided or eradicated...

• Heart disease
• Variety of Cancers
• Alzheimer's disease
• Parkinson's disease

....along with other conditions too.
