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.
