This one is a controversial one, with as many views as there
are vitamins and supplements…..
Nutritional Supplements - Do We Really Need Them?
The puzzle of aging has undergone a partial deconstruct!
Most scientists believe that aging can be traced to cellular
damage caused primarily by the Free Radicals (unstable
oxygen molecules circulating in our blood).
These oxidize tissue much as rust attacks metal, although
other factors such as sun, alcohol or psychological stress
contribute.
With every breath you take, Free Radicals are produced in
your body. They attack surrounding proteins, fats and genes.
During your youthful years your body’s natural antioxidants
swiftly repair most of the damage.
But, once the reproductive years are over, nature lowers
your body’s defenses… its most important job, from
nature’s perspective, is done. Your body systems, thereon,
function less efficiently to counter the attacks by the
free-radicals, and damage accumulates rapidly.
In other words, aging is the result of oxidative stress, a
process in which the body literally rusts over time.
Medical science has proved that free radicals are involved
in more than 81 diseases, including heart and cardiovascular
disease, cancer, arthritis and the diseases we associate
with aging (like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and other neuro-
degenerative disorders).
So what can you do? It makes sense to take preventative
measures using your knowledge of the newest treatments
and products available.
Antioxidants are the elements that fight the free radicals
that age our bodies and lower our defenses. Everyone who has
any interest in health will advise that all the vitamins,
minerals, elements that our bodies need should be ingested
through a correct selection of foods!
However, this does not always happen, although it is the
preferred way.
If your food does not give you the dosage required, you
should think seriously about using supplements to fill
deficiencies, which could lead to complex malfunctions of
the body systems.
There are significant savings on antioxidants and other
nutritional supplements being offered for a limited time.
