When our body process the food we’ve eaten it produces the free radicals we hear so much about… Scientists believe free radicals contribute to the aging process and certain diseases. Our body needs antioxidants to neutralize free radicals and minimize damage.
Some vitamins and substances that have an anti-aging element to them are:
Vitamin A Vitamin B-6 Vitamin B-12 Vitamin C Vitamin E Beta carotene Folic acid Selenium
Nutritional supplements fill the holes that processed foods leave in our diet. The holes in our diet are filled by these anti-aging supplements. They also aid in the prevention of cardiovascular ailments, poor eyesight, and a weakened immune system
Our diet must have anti-aging supplements. The anti-aging vitamins must be in the right quantities also. Natural food sources that have anti-aging vitamins are dark green leafy vegetables (Kale and mustard greens, etc) and orange fruits and vegetables (like carrots and oranges).
To give your body more antioxidants you can eat more fruits and vegetables. Your doctor may recommend using anti-aging supplements correct the deficiencies. Also, if you have certain medical conditions, such as macular degeneration, your doctor may recommend that you supplement your diet with antioxidants.
