We are fearfully and wonderfully made! And Science, Biology, and Medicine are really making strides in understanding the human body. Yet I believe we are just beginning.
Antioxidants, just what are they? A great easy place to get that answer is a wonderful site called Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antioxidant
"An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that transfers electrons from a substance to an oxidizing agent. Oxidation reactions can produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. As a result, antioxidants are often reducing agents…"
Simply put oxidation and free radicals attack our bodies speeding up the aging process or rusting if you like.
I have been hearing of more and more products that are addressing the oxidation and free radical problems that our bodies are dealing with every day. I was at a store yesterday and they were giving out samples of Acacia berry juice very high antioxidants, another sample had packaged fresh pineapple and fresh strawberries in a thick puréed form. All of these were delicious.
So looking around, we are being provided with great products good for preventative health and premature aging.
Oh and don’t forget about fresh fruit and vegetables, great at giving a body antioxidant help. I personally like vine ripened and organically grown. The flavor is usually delicious and I don’t feel like I am eating a piece of flavorless cardboard. Yes they cost more! I guess you get what you pay for!
As I study and use products, I will post what I find so come back and visit my blog or click RSS and become a fan.

Tic-Tic-Tic...
The clock ticks every day the same for everyone from the day we are born on this earth.
We can't wait to get to 18 then for a while everything is great till about 28 when we begin to realize we are getting older and we don't like what is happening to our bodies year after year time takes its toll. For some it is more dramatic than others.
Many have dreamt of finding the fountain of youth for millennia, literature tells of dreams of it.
Science has tried ideas to prolong life in many ways. And many people have been willing to be their guinea pigs. If you have enough money you can even have your body frozen while they are finding the answer to aging, or till they can clone a new body for you. Also while they figured out how to get you into the body they cloned. Personally I find this rather creepy!
Scientists are now learning what causes ageing. Some companies have already developed patented products to stop the advancement of aging because they have found out a key to why we age.
So now everyone is selling anti-aging products. Just make sure you read between the lines and do your homework on whether they can deliver what they imply they can do. As I study and use products, I will post what I find so come back and visit my blog or click RSS and become a fan.
