Antioxidant Fruit Complex
This is probably not the first time
you’ve heard of antioxidant fruit complex. You probably read or
heard somewhere that antioxidant fruit complex are good for you. But
do you know why? Why do mothers insist that you eat your greens? Why
do people say that an apple a day keeps the doctor away? Is there
even a reason why we should eat fruits and vegetables? Or is it some
sort of conspiracy to keep us away from junk food?
Well, rest assured, it’s no
conspiracy, but antioxidant fruit complex does involve secrets that
are only beginning to materialize. For clarification, let’s go back
to Mother Nature.
Antioxidant fruit complex is nature’s
protector nutrients. They can be found in almost any type of foods –
from fruits, herbs, and even vegetables. So there’s your answer to
the second question of why mothers always insist that children eat
their greens. What makes vegetables so healthy is the presence of
antioxidant fruit complex in them.
During normal metabolism, your body
undergoes a process called oxidation. Oxidation is an essential part
of life for our body’s cells needs them to perform their normal
functions. However, for all the good that oxidation brings you, it
also connotes bad effects. For one, oxidation produces harmful
oxygen byproducts called free radicals that latch on healthy
molecules and turn them into free radicals like themselves.
Though free radicals are not
necessarily bad, when there are too many of them, they may cause
damage, leading to tissue destruction, and eventually chronic
disorders, like aging, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease,
and more. One way of counteracting the effects of free radicals is
through antioxidant fruit complex. Antioxidant fruit complex combats
free radicals, hunting them down and neutralizing them so they will
stop destroying the body’s cells. But by neutralizing the free
radicals, the antioxidant fruit complex is neutralized as well. For
this reason, we always need a constant supply of antioxidant fruit
complex and the only way for us to do that is through our diet.
Unlike most animal species, the human
body cannot produce its own supply of antioxidant fruit complex.
Although it’s true that our body may produce enzymes that have
antioxidant properties, these enzymes still need the presence of
antioxidant fruit complex from foods to signal them to start acting.
Several types of foods are rich in
antioxidant fruit complex. In a recent USDA study, red beans,
berries, russet potatoes, sprouts, cinnamon, and pecans were among
the top sources of antioxidant fruit complex.
