Antioxidants & Free Radicals

Did you know that the antioxidants from food sources may be the most important anti-aging nutrients you can have?

Antioxidants are the anti-rusting nutrients.

We now know that our bodies are always under assault by something called "free radicals".

These do to our bodies what rust does to metal. The bad news is, there's no way to avoid them. Just breathing oxygen generates free radicals. But you can help neutralize them and minimize their damage with a few simple strategies.

The first way is to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, especially berries. Part of the reason these foods are so good for us is that they contain antioxidants that neutralize free radicals.

Of all the foods tested, berries have been shown to have the highest sources of antioxidants. And it's not just from vitamins A, C, and E. They also contain a powerful family of substances called proanthocyanidins. Together, these nutrients make berries the antioxidant powerhouses of all foods.

An almost overlooked source of antioxidants also comes from the seeds of these berries. The seeds contain a concentrated source of antioxidants that not only can limit free radical damage, but can also boost the immune system while providing antifungal support.

Black raspberry seed flour has the powerful nutrient, ellagic acid. This antioxidant has actually been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and is in a class of compounds that is being used to create anti-cancer drugs. But the great news is that as a seed, it has zero side effects.

Black cumin seed, though not well known in America, has been used for centuries in other parts of the world for it's anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects.

The oils of these two seeds are also loaded with essential fatty acids and can nourish the immune system, heart, and skin.

These nutrients are so powerful, I can't even imagine not taking them every single day along with a comprehensive multivitamin.
