 The entire body is made up of cells and these cells need antioxidants for optimal balance. Excess amounts of free radicals can harm cells. Neutralizing multiple types of free radicals promotes better cell health and arterial health.

The antioxidants in green tea promote good health by neutralizing free radicals. Green tea is very effective at neutralizing hydroxyl radicals, harmful free radicals. Green tea binds with hydroxyl radicals thus neutralizing them. Green tea also helps inhibit the formation of free radicals.
 
The leaves of green tea contain beneficial active constituents called polyphenols, phytochemicals with antioxidant benefits. Phytochemicals are beneficial compounds present in plants, vegetables and fruits. One of the most well-known active constituents in green tea is EGCG, also called epigallocatechin-3-gallate, a polyphenol present in green tea leaves. (more…)

Antioxidants and Living Longer!

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Smoking increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease
Antioxidants can help us live longer. Everyone can benefit from antioxidants, but if you are a smoker, it may be even more important to take antioxidants. It was recently reported that older adults who smoke have an increased risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Of course, quitting smoking would be the best thing to do.

Free radicals harm the brain
Clinical studies on Alzheimer’s disease show a connection between free radicals and Alzheimer’s disease. Free radicals, which are by-products of normal bodily processes, can be harmful in excess quantities. Free radicals can be triggered by pollution and smoking.

Smoking triggers excess free-radical production.
Free radicals attack cells. The attacked cells attack more cells causing a chain reaction of damage to the body. This happens because free radicals are missing an electron and steal electrons from other atoms, then those atoms are missing electrons. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by lending an electron or by otherwise stabilizing the free radicals so the free radical does not harm the body.

Modern diets lack antioxidants
Diets lacking sufficient fruits and vegetables may lack antioxidants. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants can benefit health and increase longevity. Studies show that using multiple antioxidants works better than using just one antioxidant. Studies show that antioxidants can help maintain a healthy brain.

Antioxidants help maintain a healthy brain
One of our best antioxidant products is Res-Q CellPower. Another great antioxidant product that helps protect the brain from free radicals is Res-Q Resveratrol. Research shows that using the ingredients in both products together would produce maximum benefits for the health of the brain. Res-Q Multi, our heart healthy multivitamin, contains vitamins, minerals, heart-healthy ingredients, and a variety of antioxidants also.

Antioxidants promote cell health by neutralizing free radicals. Antioxidants are important to the health of the cells in our body and everyone needs antioxidants for health balance.
