Home-Made Antioxidant Pie

The reason why I put that kind of title on this post is because there is a big likelihood that you are already tired of reading and hearing about the importance and benefits of antioxidants. However, I just felt that it is time again to bring this topic once more.

Antioxidants are the elements that block the oxidation process. You might have noticed that antioxidants have the potent potential to lessen the skin aging. Specifically, antioxidants are known to have a big role to play in reducing and alleviating a lot of skin problems like sagging, discolorations, texturing, sun damage and even skin cancer and tumor.

The main benefit is immune system at its utmost functional levels all ready at all times against the onslaught of myriad of damaging and unhealthy elements.

Antioxidants are very crucial nutrients which we can source from nature in maintaining overall health by deliberately slowing and lessening the impacts of the disparaging aging process especially in cellular level.

Antioxidants are likewise good in significantly enhancing the immune responses and vaccine effectiveness in other animals such as cats and dogs. This fact could be more particularly decisive for juvenile animals being vaccinated even as their immune system is still forming.

Antioxidants can turn around the diminishing cell actions and functions of old cats and dogs. A delicately made combine of quite a few known antioxidants in reasonable amounts can be more helpful compared to the use of one type of antioxidant even in higher doses.

Antioxidants are well-known to put off disease, heighten the immune system, and at least slow the inevitable aging process. It is just appropriate to defend your body from degenerative diseases like arthritis, allergies, cataracts, cancer, heart disease and even the common cold, the flu by consuming antioxidants regularly.

Antioxidants are nutrients which we could get naturally from plants sources like veggies and fruits. The role is that the darker the better. Some popular antioxidants consist of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and some compounds like carotenoids (such as lutein and beta-carotene). Of course, there are now a lot of antioxidants in all forms of sizes we know of.

As our billions of human are doing their function normally in the body, they also create damaging molecules named as free radicals. What make these molecules damaging? These free radicals are exceedingly unstable and generally take away components from other cellular molecules which in the end spread the damage throughout the body.

This damaging process goes on in a chain reaction and all our entire cells will soon become damaged and die. This process is what we call as peroxidation. Peroxidation is very important because it encourages the body to ultimately take away the cells that have outlived their worth and at the same time also eradicate germs and parasites. There is a small problem here because peroxidation once left unchecked may also damage our healthy cells. Antioxidants hopefully distract the peroxidation process to spare the healthy cells.

Antioxidants help avert prevalent cellular devastation by readily giving off components to stabilize the unstable free radicals. More significantly, antioxidants go back to the surface of the cell to alleviate instead of damage other cellular components.

When you lack adequate antioxidants to check peroxidation, free radicals will have a free play to damage healthy cells. Free radical damage to immune cells can be the way to experience more risk of infections.

The research confirmed what some scientists suspected all along that one antioxidant even if consumed at high levels is not really as effective as a blend of antioxidants which could be acting together. I think this is what they call as synergistic effect.

So don’t forget your antioxidants now!

The Moringa Leaves

There is a new superfood which is steadily gaining popularity because of its amazing properties as well as inexpensiveness. Introducing moringa. As a superfood, moringa holds several thousand times more of the potent age-controlling nutrient called zeatin compared with any other known plant. Additionally, moringa has two compounds having anti-cancer and anti-tumor activities.

So where is this moringa plant coming from? The moringa is specie of trees native to the areas of Southern India and Northern Africa.  Characteristically, it is a petite, lean, deciduous, lasting tree that grows to about 40 feet tall.  Moringa was originally grown exclusively in India, Africa and the Himalayas. But now its cultivation spread far and wide to Central and South America, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and the Philippines.

The leaves, flowers, bark, wood and roots of the moringa tree are used all over the world for a wide diversity of medicinal, pharmacological and nutritional purposes.  But it’s the leaves of the particular species called moringa oleifera which have become distinguished in recent years as being very valuable to human health.

Compared to other green superfoods like spirulina, wheat grass and chlorella, moringa oleifera has been comparatively unheard of until recent years when reports appeared in conventional scientific journals describing its medicinal and nutritional properties.

Now called as the “Miracle Tree” in many indigenous cultures, it has more than 90 essential nutrients.  Folk medicine practitioners and anecdotal reports suggest moringa’s great worth in sinking tumors or retarding their growth.

Studies show that two compounds that are present in moringa cause a spectacular decrease of skin tumors — even inhibit tumors in lab mice that are bred to be vulnerable to tumors.  This has earned moringa the status of being a cancer preventative plant.

Over the past 35 years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been researching and studying the use of the moringa plant as an economical health-enhancing food for poverty stricken countries where malnutrition and famine are prevalent.

India’s natural Ayurvedic medicine uses moringa leaves to put off and treat more than 300 diseases.  The leaves contain whole proteins, which is rare to find in the plant kingdom.  This must be the good news vegetarians have been waiting for. Those who are trying to constrict their meat and dairy consumption without compromising their protein intake can find moringa to be very helpful.

On a gram per gram basis, moringa leaves contain:  twice the protein you can get in an 8 ounces of milk (plus 4 times the calcium); the Vitamin C equivalent of 7 oranges; the potassium content of 3 bananas; 3 times the iron of spinach; and 4 times the Vitamin A of carrots.

Moringa leaves’ loaded combination of nutrients, amino acids, antioxidants, as well as anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties could easily fill an entire book for discussion and exploration.

However, the most mesmerizing discovery about moringa leaves is that they are excellent source of zeatin.  What is zeatin then? Zeatin belongs to the plant hormone family called as cytokinins.  Cytokinins stimulate cell division and growth as well as delay cell aging.  A study released through the Rejuvenation Research shows the irrefutable youth-preserving effects of zeatin on aging human skin.

Just recently, Zeatin has become increasingly sought after because of its great anti-aging properties.  It safeguards cells against the onslaught of free radical damage, defends healthy cells from the damaging effects of stress, aids the body in replacing dying cells quickly and reinforces living cells … thereby significantly deliberately slowing the normal aging process.

There is no other source possessing greater abundance of zeatin than the moringa plant.  As a matter of fact, moringa contains several thousand times more zeatin than any other known plant.

The human body has about 19 million skin cells at any given time. However, 30,000 to 40,000 skin cells die every minute.  New skin cells make their way to the upper skin layers as old skin cells flake off and die.  With the zeatin contained in moringa, new skin cells grow at a quicker rate than old skin cells die.  This results in a marked drop of wrinkles on the face and other parts of the body and makes the appearance of youthful skin possible.

You can now find different types of moringa dietary supplements. Now in the market are  moringa leaf powder, moringa leaf capsules and moringa condensed powder tea.  According to nutrition experts, a mere 25 grams of moringa leaf powder could supply these astonishing percentages of recommended daily allowances:

Protein:  42%

Calcium:  125%

Magnesium:  61%

Potassium:  41%

Iron:  71%

Vitamin A:  272%

Vitamin C:  22%

Moringa powder and capsules are marketed by various online retailers such as World’s Choice Products (brand:  Supreme Moringa), as well as several health food stores.  Type any of the following keywords in any search engine:  moringa leaf powder, moringa tea, or moringa capsules.

Let moringa do wonders for you!
