Antioxidants – How to Slow Down Aging

Antioxidants – Why They’re Important to Slow Down Aging

How do antioxidant anti aging products and ingredients fight the aging process?

Antioxidant anti aging products and ingredients are our body’s first line of defense against free radical molecules and their negative effects.

What is an antioxidant? Literally, it’s something capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other things. And so now you might ask:

What is Oxidation?

Well, what do dull, flaky paint on a car, a rusty corroded pipe, a tarnished silver teapot, fruit that has turned brown, and wrinkles on your skin all have in common?

That’s right, oxidation! All of these things are the end result of oxidation.

Simply put, oxidation is what happens when oxygen interacts with another substance.

It involves electrons swapping and a bunch of other chemical processes- go ahead and click your mouse over the diagram at left – Uh…yeah, right!!

We said we’d try to keep things easy to understand, and I have no clue what the heck that chart means, so….

…what we really need to know is that although all living things need oxygen to exist, oxygen also encourages and speeds decay.

Basically, our bodies produce free radicals, highly unstable molecules that attack healthy cells through a damaging chain reaction of oxidation.

Illness, inflammation, and a variety of other internal and external environmental factors also add to their production. And it’s impossible to avoid damage from free radicals because we produce them constantly by – well, just living and breathing!

When the damage being done is more than our body’s natural antioxidant protection can handle, cellular damage accumulates and eventually leads to illness, disease, and ultimately, aging.

So How Can We Fight Free Radicals? With Antioxidants!

Antioxidant anti-aging vitamins, enzymes and flavanoids “scavenge” free radical particles and neutralize them, breaking the damaging cycle and stopping free radicals from turning healthy cells into more free radicals.

Next question: Where do antioxidants come from? Well, the easiest source of antioxidants for the human body is through food. Fruits and vegetables are the best, and brightly colored vegetables and fruit are even better!

A healthy anti aging diet will provide your body with the essential antioxidants it needs, but a healthy diet may not be enough!

The latest government guidelines call for an active adult to consume 7-13 servings of fruits and vegetables per day…7-13 servings!! I don’t know about you, but I can’t remember the last time I ate bag of 10 apples in a day!!

Therefore, we should also look into acquiring essential antioxidants through the use of anti aging supplements as well. The health supplement market is HUGE….we spend billions of dollars on health supplements of all kinds, and the bad news is, many of them are useless.

And the REALLY bad news is, it’s almost impossible to tell if the supplements you are taking are actually being absorbed by your body. It would take a blood test before and after taking a supplement to really determine if your body has absorbed any of the nutrients.

But after doing some research, we discovered an AMAZING technology that is able to read your skin “carotenoid” score, or the level of antioxidants present in your skin cells, which is a good indicator of your overall health. Basically, the higher the level of antioxidants present in your cells, the healthier you are, and the stronger your immune system will be.

This patented scanner is the ONLY non-invasive test available that can read the level of antioxidants present in your skin. With a 90 second scan of your hand, it will let you know whether your body is absorbing and utilizing the nutrients from the foods you eat, as well as any vitamins or supplements that you are taking.

This is pretty incredible, and doctors are calling it “the lifestyle lie detector.” Improper diet, smoking and other damaging personal habits, and stress all contribute to lower levels of antioxidants, and a higher probability of getting sick or contracting a disease.

Many people that have been scanned realize that their body has been absorbing VERY little of the vitamin/supplement that they have been taking for YEARS!

Doctors will tell you, you need to eat more vegetables, you need to lose weight, you need to quit smoking, etc. But do they?
With this machine, I have gotten people to quit smoking, eat more vegetables, and to exercise! Because it gives people a number to improve upon, people will make healthier lifestyle choices and see their scores improve! I have people compete for high score, and they get healthier!

So if we first adopt a healthy, highly antioxidant anti aging diet and enhance it with some EFFECTIVE anti aging supplements, we give our body the best weapons to fight free radicals internally.

But now what about the outside?

Our skin is constantly bombarded with free radical particles by the sun, pollution, smoke, chemicals, and many other environmental factors. So we must use products that also contain antioxidants to help combat the effect of these contaminants on our skin.

But which products actually WORK?? There are thousands of products on the market and frankly speaking, some work, many don’t!
