Zinc - The Brain’s Anti-Oxidant By : Steve P Smith Although dietary zinc has been known since the 1960s to play an important role in human health, it was not until as recently as 1990 that its role as an important ant-oxidant was identified Perhaps not surprisingly, early attention focussed on zinc’s role as an essential mineral for sexual and reproductive health, particularly in the male; but it is now known that its functions are much more numerous The Whey Protein Miracle By : Daniel Lee So here I am writing to you about what I just ate for breakfast It was extremely fast and easy Alpha Lipoic Acid Is A Powerful Antioxidant By : Darrell Miller The discovery of alpha lipoic acid at the University Of Texas Chemistry Department in 1951 was not heralded with trumpets of joy at the revelation of such a powerful antioxidant, but was instead largely ignored This is largely due to the biochemistry involved not being fully understood at that time, but by the 1980s it was a commonly used supplement, recommended for several medical conditions Are Antioxidants Necessary? By : Pete Morrison Antioxidants almost became a household word about 20 years ago They became popular with the MLM companies Quercetin Non-allergenic Bioflavonoid To Fight Histamine By : Darrell Miller Quercetin is one of the more powerful of the body’s antioxidants, and it can also be used to reduce the rate of histamine release by the body normally initiated by contact with an allergenic substance (for which your immune system has designed an antigen) We shall examine the biochemical mechanism which this is achieved, but first let’s have a closer look at quercetin and what it actually is The Top Antioxidant Foods By : Aaron Wilmont Nutrition and antioxidants have long been the subject of scientific studies and through this research it has been found that the combination of fruits and vegetables have certain effects on the activity of antioxidants in the body The coupling of fruits and vegetables and the effect they have leads to a greater reduction of risk for chronic disease and two that have been proven to be reduced by this are cancer and heart disease Acai: The Super Antioxidant From Brazil By : Darrell Miller Acai is an Amazonian palm tree, and possesses small purple fruits that the Amazonian natives of Brazil have used since time immemorial as food and as a remedy for certain health conditions that are now known to be associated with the activity on free radicals on body cells The active constituents of acai are powerful polyphenols and anthocyanin antioxidants that protect your body cells from oxidation by free radicals The Health Benefits Of Flavonoids As Anti-oxidants By : Steve P Smith Flavonoids are highly beneficial anti-oxidant compounds found in many fruits and vegetables, as well as tea, red wine and even beer, and it’s now well established that a plentiful intake of anti-oxidants through foods, drinks and supplements is vital for optimal human health Anti-oxidants operate to neutralise the activity of so-called “free radicals”; compounds produced in the body as by-products of normal biochemical reactions, but which may nevertheless be highly damaging as they produce oxidative reactions damaging to cell structures Powerful Anti-oxidant Flavonoids Found In Red Wine And Chocolate By : Steve P Smith There’s now good evidence that it’s not just in fruits and vegetables that health promoting anti-oxidant flavonoids are to be found These powerful compounds have also been identified in tea, particularly green tea, red wine, beer and even chocolate Astaxanthin, A Member Of The Carotenoid Family, Is A Powerful Antioxidant By : Darrell Miller Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family responsible for the red color of many types of algae Being a carotenoid, it is a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger as well as support proper eye function Transfer Factor With Acai – Super Fruit Anti-oxidant By : Lori Matthews It’s official—the Acai fruit is officially an energy fruit A particular celebrity show host has said so Coenzyme Q10: The Anti-Oxidant In Every Cell By : Steve P Smith In human beings, coenzyme Q10 is the most common occurring form of coenzyme Q, needed by and found in every cell in the body Perhaps its primary function is to ensure the production of adequate energy within the cell mitochondria, but coenzyme Q10 is also a powerful anti-oxidant, and is particularly important because it is the only fat-soluble anti-oxidant which can be manufactured within the body Give Your Health A Boost With Silica Hydride A Powerful Antioxidant By : Darrell Miller Hydride ions are strong proton acceptors and hence fatal to free radicals Silica hydride is consequently a powerful antioxidant that can be used to protect your body against the ravaging effects of these free radicals that destroy the cells of your body, and due to its other unique properties this is a molecule that could be a very useful participant in the various redox reactions that occur naturally within our bodies every microsecond of every day of our lives Do Certain Foods Burn Fat?

By : Steve P Smith Resveratrol is a polyphenol type flavonoid currently exciting great interest as a potential boon to health Like other flavonoids and polyphenols, it is a very useful anti-oxidant in its own right, but resveratrol has attracted particular attention as a potential solution to the so-called “French Paradox” Go Three Days Without Food But Never A Day Without Green Tea By : Steve P Smith Green tea became well known in China during the period of the Tang dynasty (AD 618–907) and was quickly prized as a promoter of health and vitality There’s good evidence, however, that its many benefits had already been known to the elite for thousands of years by then Acai Berry Fruit: The Best Antioxidant on Earth By : George Alarcon Discover why acai berry is being called the world's best antioxidant.

By : Steve P Smith The news today is all about the extraordinary growth of the Chinese economy, but is there a danger that in importing Western affluence the Chinese may also import our levels of the characteristic diseases of affluence – obesity, diabetes, heart attack, stroke and even cancer Perhaps, but probably not, so long as traditional Chinese medicine retains its focus on promoting the balance and harmony of the entire human organism; on unleashing and then harnessing the body’s own incredible healing powers Guide Of Choosing The Cholesterol Lowering Drugs By : Cindy Heller Cholesterol is a waxy, fatty like substance that our body needs in order to produce a number of hormones and cell membrane.
