                                             I WANT TO ORDER ANTIOXIDANTS NOW!

 Oxygen is much needed by the human body in order for us to sustain life. It supports our life by mixing with sugars from the food we eat to create energy and heat for our bodies to survive. Resulting from this metabolic process are altered oxygen molecules called "Free Radicals" which will damage our own cells and DNA, causing degeneration and diseases such as cancer. A "free radical" is an atom with an unbalanced electrical charge, and it will attempt to steal electrons from other atoms - such as the atoms of our own cells! The best way to deal with this is to eat alkaline foods that are high in antioxidants.

 Finding alkaline foods that are high in antioxidants is not hard to do at all. Many alkaline foods provide strong antioxidant properties, such as garlic, kale, blueberries, and strawberries. They also carry powerful, disease fighting vitamins such as Vitamins A, C, and E. But particular herbs and fruits such as clove, thyme, cinnamon and green tea have antioxidant properties hundreds of times more powerful than the foods we eat in our normal diet. Common anti-aging antioxidant rich vitamins and minerals such as; vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10, lycopene, beta-carotene, lutein, and cysteine provide truly powerful antioxidant protection for our bodies and help to fight off the diseases that plague us as we age.

Safeguard your immune system and start destroying harmful free radicals today!

 Famous anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone recommends these 10 foods to help look and age better:

1. Acai Fruit: berry that can be found in juice form in health stores. Highly publicized on the Oprah show.

2. Allium Family: garlic, onion, leeks, scallions, chives, and shallots.

3. Barley: used in breakfast cereal, soups and stews. Good source of fiber. 

4. Green Plant Foods: wheat and barley grasses offer greater levels of nutrients than green leafy vegetables. If not available then eat large quantities of dark, green leafy vegetables.

5. Buckwheat: seed and grain. Another great form of fiber. 

6. Beans & Lentils: kidney, navy, pinto, black, chickpeas, soybeans, lentils, and peas. An excellent source of fiber. Eating fiber rich foods help to reduce risk of cancer. 

7. Hot Peppers: bell and chili peppers. Use as much as you can comfortably handle. 

8. Nuts & Seeds: walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, macadamia, and pistachio. Good source of healthy fats. 

9. Sprouts.

10. Yogurt and Kefir. Excellent source of calcium.

 Anti-aging foods are rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help keep skin firm by protecting the skin's collagen and elastic tissue from oxidants or "free radicals" (unstable oxygen molecules) that attack it. People who consume diets loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables have lower disease rates, more energy and less risk for weight gain than those who skip these foods, according to numerous studies published over the years.

 There are many excellent reasons why you should eat a diet high in alkaline foods. With the exception of avocados, olives and coconuts, fresh fruits and vegetables have no fat, cholesterol or sodium. They are also fiber-rich: Eight servings of fruits and vegetables daily supplies approximately 27 grams of fiber, well within the daily target goal of 25 grams to 35 grams. Fiber-rich foods lower a person's risk for developing age-related diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and hypertension. Fiber-rich foods also are low in calories, so they help fill you up and satisfy your hunger.

 Dr. Mehmet Oz of Discovery Health fame, endorses a diet high in veggies and fruits. Fresh fruits and vegetables are nutrient-packed, providing ample amounts of calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin C, beta carotene and folic acid, and they are low in calories (a heaping bowlful of greens supplies only 30 calories!). Dr. Oz says one of his favorite anti-aging foods are blueberries. You can tell blueberries are chockfull of antioxidants because of their dark color. "All foods with dark colors in them have some of these really protecting antioxidant chemicals in them," he says. "Blueberries lead the charge." Other good anti-aging foods include sweet potatoes, broccoli and tomatoes. "[When eating] tomatoes, heat them up a little bit and put a little oil in them. It makes it easier to absorb the lycopene," Dr. Oz says. "Lycopene is another antioxidant, but it has additional benefits as well, which are particularly valuable for the heart."

Diets rich in antioxidants prevent disease and premature aging. Antioxidants also stimulate the immune system and protect the nervous system and brain from the oxidative damage associated with age-related memory loss. A 1993 Harvard School of Public Health study found that adults who supplemented their diet daily with a minimum 100 IU of vitamin E for at least two years had up to a 40 percent reduction in heart-disease risk. Here is a list of antioxidants and the foods in which to find them.

Vitamin A: Sweet potatoes, Carrots, Egg Yolk, Liver,

Vitamin C:  Most citrus fruits, a variety of vegetables, grains

Vitamin E: Corn, Wheat Germ, Almonds, Broccoli.  Heart healthy almonds and the anti-cancerous powers of broccoli make them a "must have" in most diets.

Lutien: Spinach, Kale, Asparagus, Dark green, leafy vegetables.

Selenium: Brazil nuts, Rice, Wheat

Lycopene: Tomatoes. It is found that cooking the tomato enhances the power of Lycopene.

Beta-carotene: Carrots are the most popular. squash, Pumpkin, Mango.
