How to Fire Up Your Health Defense
With the flu season now in full swing, one of the most commonly-heard phrase in the health arena is 'build up your defense.' Your own body requires a strong defense system.
Antioxidants can help. Antioxidants play the serious role of "janitor" in your body. They go around mopping up excess free radicals before these pesky little scavenger molecules get the chance to damage or destroy your body's cells. In a perfect world, you'd be able to get all the antioxidants you need from a healthy diet alone. Unfortunately, there are just too many free radicals invading your body from:
stress
a poor-quality diet and food additives
environmental pollutants
environmental toxins
Your body's supply of in-house antioxidant "janitors" can't keep up with all their chores. Cleaning up the cell-damaging messes made by the free radicals is a full time job. Without a plentiful supply of crucial antioxidants:
Your body becomes vulnerable to free radical damage.
You lack energy and stamina.
Your immune system operates at less than peak efficiency.
Some well-known antioxidants are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and maybe even beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A. Antioxidants are found natural in vegetables and fruits.
The bad news is this: eating your fruits and veggies may not be enough these days, especially with the nutrient-depleted soil most vegetables come from. You may need to bring in some "outside help." More antioxidant janitors can help to mop up messes the free radicals make, like ...
Injuries to your cell membranes and mitochondria
Damage to your DNA
