Antioxidant Juice
Posted by Deuce on Sep 30, 2009
The juice from specific fruits, nuts and vegetables, the ingredients of certain herbs and minerals, and extracted trace elements – all of these are put together to make antioxidant juice blends.
Let’s be honest, you can get all the antioxidants you need simply by eating high quality, organic foods. But with our busy schedules, most of us just don’t eat the right diets to get all the antioxidants we need.
One thing you should know, there are many antioxidants found in many foods. Each of these antioxidant molecules are known to have different effects on the body. So, just eating grapes, for example, will not supply your body with all the antioxidants you need.
So, it is very important, when looking for the right antioxidant juice, not to focus on the array of ingredients, but to find one that has the most number of antioxidants that offer your body a wide array of protections.
What do Antioxidants do?
Antioxidants help strengthen our cells, boost our immune system, slow the aging process and protect against diseases. They do this by protecting our cells from free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to our cells, and this weakens our systems in the face of disease and age.
At the core of the problem caused by free radicals is Oxygen! Why is oxygen bad? Only because oxygen is what all biological processes use for fuel. Without protection, the burning of oxygen causes premature death or weakening of body cells, causing physical disorders like premature aging, weakened immune system, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, senility, and even cancer.
Antioxidants protect your cells from the effects of free radicals naturally released from the oxidization process.
How do we get Antioxidants?
Unlike many animals, humans do not create their own antioxidants! So, we must digest these through our foods. Blueberries, pomegranates, and acai berry are great sources of antioxidants.
How many times do you eat these fruits? If you are like most, not that much. That is why antioxidant juice is created – so that we can get the power of antioxidants in an easy access form.
