The Secret Forumla For A Healthy Anti-Aging Diet!

By: PL Fields

When we are young, we display the badge of great health: bright eyes, bright skin, and smooth hair. As we age, time takes a toll . Now with pollution, pesticides in our food, living in all kinds of toxins daily this process is expedited. Free radicals are formed. These are tiny unpaired electrons (Iâ€™ll spare you the scientific talk) and they basically go seeking a partner and cause turmoil in the process.

Free radicals are beneficial when they are in normal amounts, but with all the pollution and stress our bodies are in, they can get out of control!

Antioxidants help us keep these free radicals under control. You can discover them in blueberries, wines, coffee, berries and nuts..just to name a little . But you canâ€™t go around stuffing your face with these things, that is why eating moderate proportions and supplementing is the way to go. Iâ€™m not talking about diet pills, Iâ€™m talking about vitamins.

On the flip side, your diet could be accelerating your aging if you are eating sugar, refined flour, hydrogenated oils, soda and alcohol.

Of course, you may be consuming things that are already behaving as antioxidants. Good Old Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin, which means you need to take it daily because you can pee it out. When you are taking antibiotics, aspirin, oral contraceptives, or smoking they interfere with the absorption of itâ€¦which means you must take more of it and take it during times you arenâ€™t beginning to take your other medications. Honestly, I would say that you should work hard to get off any medications you are taking, but that is another newsletter. Medications will always have an unhealthy side effectâ€¦so be cautious!

400-1,000mg of the Vitamin C is usually good. I take the powdered form and mix it with H20. I typically like the brands found in health food supermarkets because they are always higher quality then those found in drug stores or supermarket stores. A therapeutic dose would be 1,000mg to 10,000mg with should be used under supervision; however, if you are a drinker, smoker, live in greatly polluted city, or take medication, I would take at least 1,000mg per day!

Here are a few other sources of antioxidants: garlic, green tea (however, watch the caffeine intake), lutein, selenium, turmeric (a yellow spice), and zinc.
