Because the brain has high levels of lipids, it is especially susceptible to oxidation, causing damage to cells, tissues, and genetic material. Unchecked oxidation can contribute to the
development of illnesses including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dementia. Several antioxidant compounds have been shown in studies to produce positive results including
Carotenoids, vitamins A, C, and E, tocotrienol, alpha lipoic acid, melatonin, grape seed extract, and pomegranate.
Berries, especially cranberry and blueberry are extremely rich in antioxidant polyphenols. These, along with Omega 3, are extremely useful to help prevent oxidative stress that can
affect the heart. It is recommended by the American Health Association to consume a diet high in food sources of antioxidants and other heart-protecting nutrients including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. A combination of Immunocal and vitamin supplements and good diet can help one live a longer healthier life.
What's up with Antioxidants anyway? Six months ago I really didn't have a clue about what antioxidants were. I had heard the word many times before and the most I could tell you was that broccoli, tomatoes and blueberries were good for you because they contained "antioxidants". These days everything including shampoo and facial cream are lauding the power of antioxidants.
The scientific community is getting away from what you should not eat. Do not eat fat, sugar, red meat all are bad for you, leaves a person very confused about what to eat? The latest medical research suggests that free radical damage and oxidative stress play a role in most diseases as well as in aging. The classic vitamin antioxidants are C, E and beta-carotene. Certain minerals such as zinc and selenium are also involved in antioxidant protection. However, research shows that tea, chocolate, soy products as well as fruits and vegetables have been shown to have compounds in them that provide antioxidant capabilities.
Studies at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston suggest that consuming fruits and vegetables with a high-ORAC value may help slow the aging process in both body and brain. ORAC--short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity-is a standardized test that measures the ability of foods, blood plasma, and just about any substance to subdue oxygen free radicals.
Science has long held that damage by oxygen free radicals is behind many of the diseases that come with aging, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. There's firm evidence that a high intake of fruits and vegetables reduces risk of cancer and that a low intake raises risk". Antioxidants are protective substances found naturally in fruits, vegetables and grains, so just do as Mom said and eat your fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A good way to get your antioxidants is from the rainbow of colors available. Yellow foods contain lutein, which protects eyesight and anthoxanthins that increases detoxification and are protective against certain kinds of cancer.
Red foods contain lycopene believed to lower the risk of stomach, bladder and colon cancer.
Green foods get their color from chlorophyll that has the ability to block the action of certain cancer-causing substances.
Orange foods contain beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant shown to prevent cancers of the stomach, breast, lung and cervix.
Blue/purple foods have anthocyanin, besides protecting against cancer it also dilates blood vessels and reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack. This may be the same reason that red wine has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack.
Nutrition is complex and antioxidants are not the whole story and we may never know the whole story, but when included in a healthy diet along with fiber and moderate amounts of protein and fat, you are well on your way to preventing disease or even reversing it. Medical science has discovered a molecule called Glutathione, which they have named the Master Antioxidant (more on this at a later date).
Oxidative Stress and Free Radical Damage occurs in our bodies as a normal course of daily living. It comes from exercise, pollutants in the air, even the food we eat and drink. If left unchecked our bodies would deteriorate from the inside out.
The good news is that we were created with the ability to produce a molecule (found in every cell in our body) that is called GLUTATHIONE (GSH). Surprisingly, glutathione was discovered circa 1888 but not until the last 20 years have scientists really understood its importance. Scientists now refer to glutathione as The Master Antioxidant. Without GSH we literally cannot survive.
The key to understanding the importance of GSH is that many of the diseases we know of are associated with low levels of glutathione. Therefore, elevated levels fight against MS, Alzheimers, AIDS, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer, Crohns Disease, Lung Disease, Parkinsons, Lupus and many more.
The production is dependent upon the availability of the amino acid Cysteine. After 20 years of research HMS 90 / Immunocal was the discovery of Gustavo Bounous, MD which is the Ideal Source of Cysteine. HMS 90 / Immunocal is an Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate that has 9 Method of Use Patents in 80 countries worldwide. This is a critical distinction when compared to any product that only have a composition patent.
Unfortunately, some misinformation also exists that can confuse the average person who is just trying to improve their health. Some companies try to sell glutathione pills but do nothing or at best very little to increase serum levels. Also, often touted to raise GSH levels is an anitoxidant drug called NAC which only has short term benefits and is sold without discussing the side effects.
The only proven safe and natural whey to improve your health is by providing your body with the precursor or building block Cysteine found in HMS 90 / Immnocal.
