Antioxidant
Fruit Complex
This is probably not the first time you’ve heard of
antioxidant fruit complex. You probably read or heard
somewhere that antioxidant fruit complex are good for you.
But do you know why? Why do mothers insist that you eat your
greens? Why do people say that an apple a day keeps the
doctor away? Is there even a reason why we should eat fruits
and vegetables? Or is it some sort of conspiracy to keep us
away from junk food?
Well, rest assured, it’s no conspiracy, but antioxidant
fruit complex does involve secrets that are only beginning
to materialize. For clarification, let’s go back to Mother
Nature.
Antioxidant fruit complex is nature’s protector nutrients.
They can be found in almost any type of foods – from
fruits, herbs, and even vegetables. So there’s your answer
to the second question of why mothers always insist that
children eat their greens. What makes vegetables so healthy
is the presence of antioxidant fruit complex in them.
During normal metabolism, your body undergoes a process
called oxidation. Oxidation is an essential part of life for
our body’s cells needs them to perform their normal
functions. However, for all the good that oxidation brings
you, it also connotes bad effects. For one, oxidation
produces harmful oxygen byproducts called free
radicals that latch on healthy molecules and turn them
into free radicals like themselves.
Though free radicals are not necessarily bad, when there are
too many of them, they may cause damage, leading to tissue
destruction, and eventually chronic
disorders, like aging, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease,
heart disease, and more. One way of counteracting the
effects of free radicals is through antioxidant fruit
complex. Antioxidant fruit complex combats free radicals,
hunting them down and neutralizing them so they will stop
destroying the body’s cells. But by neutralizing the free
radicals, the antioxidant fruit complex is neutralized as
well. For this reason, we always need a constant supply of
antioxidant fruit complex and the only way for us to do that
is through our diet.
Unlike most animal species, the human body cannot produce
its own supply of antioxidant fruit complex. Although it’s
true that our body may produce enzymes that have antioxidant
properties, these enzymes still need the presence of antioxidant
fruit complex from foods to signal them to start acting.
Several types of foods are rich in antioxidant fruit
complex. In a recent USDA study, red beans, berries, russet
potatoes, sprouts, cinnamon, and pecans were among the top
sources of antioxidant fruit complex.
