Stay Away Flu! I have Antioxidants.

Some people would not agree with me on this subject,Antioxidants. I am a believer in them. You see I take antioxidants in pill and food form. I have for many years. I will eat food that are high in Antioxidants during the Flu season. As far as sickness goes, it has not been much. I might get a snuffle or cough now and then however, I seldom get a long term sickness.
One thing we all can eat are Berries. Blue berries are my favorite, 1 cup a day will keep the doctor away for me.
As I have stated in previous post, Cancer Prevention is high on my staying healthy platform. Cells can become damage and then just refuse to die off, causing a cancer to grow. Science has still not gotten a grasp on this process. However they have found ways to prevent this in some cases. One natural way is antioxidants. What they do is Protect the Cells from the damage that the Free radicals cause. Free radicals are what cause the molecules to become unstable. Unstable Molecules usually cause the sickness. These Free Radicals can enter our bodies in many ways, by food, smoke, and air.
Antioxidants are found in many substances
These include:
  • Beta-carotene
  • Lutein
  • Lycopene
  • Selenium
  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin E

All the substance are found in these foods.

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Nuts
  • Meats
  • Poultry
  • Fish

  • Eating healthy natural Fresh food is the key in my opinion. We are such a fast food nation that we forget it really doesn't take long to cook a meal with fresh ingredients. By eating out less and taking antioxidant one can dodge the sicknesses of today.
    As far as cancer prevention, We are still working on that. However if I stay healthy and watch what goes into my body I might be able to dodge that also.
    Antioxidants are the key in my mind. Stay healthy you all and take your antioxidants.

    1. Maqui is the most powerful known antioxidant botanical in the world, making it a stronger antioxidant than acai, mangosteen, goji, noni or even chocolate. According to studies, it is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and has thermogenic properties, which has been attributed to relieving pain caused by swelling and aiding in weight loss.
