Facts About antioxidants


 
Health headlines today are always focused around the topics of antioxidants. You can not pick foods at the store without seeing the antioxidant hype. Everyday we are being attacked by millions of pollutants and toxins. Our bodies are working overtime to breakdown and remove the toxic invaders of our healthy systems.

The fear that just one of these free radicals might cause problems has lead us to a level of health food insecurity never before seen. The war against this toxic mass can often times be confusing and is associated with some terms that are often mis-used and more often mis-understood. Let's learn those terms first and then we all can work on the same playing field.

Our bodies have millions of chemical reactions which occur ever hour. All of these chemical reactions produce heat and if we produce enough chemical reactions, we get so hot that we can actually sweat. The control of these chemical reactions is based upon several factors, such as heat, concentrations and polar attraction.

- The effects of long-term use and high concentrations of antioxidants have not been proven scientifically.
- Using natural sources for your antioxidants is better than taking a pill.
- Your body will absorb the natural vitamin much faster and more complete than the pill.
- Eating foods in their most raw and natural state is the best way to retain the maxim absorption of antioxidants.
