What makes the difference between average health and optimal health? One important factor is how well our body is protected by the antioxidants that come from the food we eat.
Many of the leading killers, such cancer, heart disease and diabetes are linked to oxidation of critical cellular functions in your body.
You need to have a minimum of five serves of vegetables and 2 serves of fruits to get the minimum antioxidant levels required for health. Most people with our hectic lifestyles regularly don’t eat our recommended serves of fruit and veggies. Add to that the extra stress and poor lifestyles choices we sometimes make then our need for antioxidants goes up even more.
There are a number of plants and berries that are particularly high in antioxidants such as goji berries, blueberries, acai berries and others. Each of the berries are very beneficial and you may have seen some wonder juices made from some of these. However if you have ever talked to a nutritionist you will know that variety is important. Each plant and berry has something that the other ones don’t. To get the maximum beneficial effect you should eat a wide range of foods high in anti-oxidants. Here you will find your carotenoids (yellow & orange), anthocyanins (purples), polyphenols (red & brown) and many more beneficial phyto-chemicals.
Now even the most health conscious of us don’t get our recommended servings of fruit and vegies every day so this is where an anti-oxidant supplement is necessary. However not all supplements are made equal. Many studies have shown that isolated anti-oxidant compounds don’t have the beneficial effect you would expect, however diets that were high in anti-oxidant rich foods do get the health benefit. The key here is to getting your anti-oxidants from wholefood sources such as fresh fruit and vegetables. Also organic foods have been shown to have higher levels of phenolic acids and flavonoids which give the anti-oxidant protection.
