Antioxidants and free radicals, you have heard the terms but how do they affect your health and well being?
Free Radicals:
Free radicals are unstable molecules that left unchecked will continue to replicate leading to life threatening or debilitating diseases impacting your quality of life.
Free radicals may be the casual cause of all diseases known to man including the aging process. Oxidative stress is where your body is out of balance and under attack by excessive free radicals that overwhelm the body’s defense.
Example: After 30 years of research on anti-aging, genetics only account for 10% of the visible signs of aging. 90% of the signs are the result of damage caused by Free Radicals. Free Radicals are to the skin what termites are to the frame of a house by destroying the collagen scaffolding causing wrinkles, age spots, etc.
Though extremely beneficial for the body, physical activity is a highly oxidative process that increases the production of free radicals which can injure muscle tissue.
Strenuous exercise can produce up to 10 times the amount of free radicals that the body can defend itself against.
Antioxidants:
Are specialized vitamins and minerals that are designed like soldiers going into battle to neutralized free radicals providing protection to the cells of your body that can protect against the initiation of the disease process in the first place. To counter the effects of free radicals, your body needs a diet rich in antioxidants.
In the June 2006 issue of Clinical Nutrition studies found that athletes who drank a fruit juice high in antioxidant polyphenols saw a significant decrease in free radical initiated muscle damage. Studies even suggested that drinking an antioxidant rich fruit juice prior to intense physical activity may help the body recover faster, reduce muscle soreness and diminish post exercise fatigue.
Did you know that it takes 10 years for a tumor to develop in the body?
Did you know that a woman replaces every cell in their bodies over every 8 years and men over every 7 years? Since every cell is renewed, how you built these cells will determine your future health.
Antioxidants are vital to ones health but did you know that studies have shown that antioxidants may be able to turn “off” genes that are prone to DNA mutations (cancer – heart disease, etc.) that may be part of ones genetic family history.
The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry published a study by the University of Florida that reported that the protection antioxidants offer if taken daily is immeasurable, and statistics show that even modest antioxidant intake can dramatically reduce unnecessary health care costs.
Antioxidants can be found in fruits and vegetables with some being classified as super fruits and super foods.
The term Super Fruits a recently coined term to describe certain fruits that contain a high nutrient density, superior antioxidant quality, taste and potential impact for lowering risk against human diseases.
The growing consumer demand for Super Fruits is fueling the Super Foods industry that is expected to grow to $10 billion by 2011.
The Acai berry considered as the top Super Fruit. The Super Fruit category is one of the top ten global trends in consumer products for 2008
Acai Berry:
Harvested in remote areas of Brazil’s Amazon Rain Forest, the Acai berry is considered as an “anomaly” of the food world with the protein structure of an egg and the fatty acid profile of olive oil. It has the highest antioxidant rating of any food on the planet with an orac score that is more than 10 times higher than that of red grapes and an anthocyanin level that is 30 times that of red wine with high concentration of phytonutrients. Tested as having the highest scavenging capacity (ability to hunt down free radicals) against the peroxyl radical of any fruit or vegetable tested to date. It also has a very high scavenging capacity for super oxide radicals.
Acai – Nutritional Composition:
- Essential fatty acids (omega 3, 6 and 9).
- Complete protein of all amino acids.
- Vitamins, minerals, nutrients (B vitamins, Beta-carotene, Calcium, Boron, Chromium, Copper, Folate, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Potassium, Selenium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Zinc.
- Polyphenols.
- Anthocyanins.
- Proanthocyanins.
- Flavonoids.
- Plant Sterols.
- Dietary Fiber.
- Complex Carbohydrates.
- Remarkably rich in a wide range of micronutrients, macronutrients and trace elements.
Dr. Nicholas Perricone, best selling author of “The Perricone Promise” identifies the world’s top ten super foods for health and anti-aging and the Acai berry was listed as the number one super food and described as “nature’s perfect energy fruit”.
The Acai berry is described by other names such as “Youth Berry”, “Nature’s Botox” and “Nature’s Gift of Wellness”.
Now, imagine the Acai berry combined in a never before balanced blend with a wide variety of other known super fruits from around the world such as the blueberry, bilberry, wolfberry, acerola, aronia, camu-camu, etc. that is designed as a power house nutritional beverage with a high concentration of antioxidants and phytonutrients. Certified organic, free of pestecides/insectisides, equivalent of eating 7-10 servings of fruits and vegetables with 4,000 Orac units. Now, imagine a business opportunity as unique as the health benefits itself. With today’s processed foods, it is virtually impossible to get all of the nutrients a body needs for health. As a result, nutritional supplements represent the largest health trend seen in the US in the last 100 years.
The Wellness Industry is being spawned RIGHT NOW and is expected to grow to $1 trillion by 2010 representing the largest industry every known to man.
Is It For a Good Cause: Consumers are turning to natural treatment alternatives because of conventional medicines high price tags and its inability to offer long term wellness. Nutrition absolutely determines how fast you will age, die and be disease free.
Business Opportunities: The fortunes to be made today will be by those involved in teaching people about new products and services that they didn’t know existed or didn’t know were now available. This is Intellectual Distribution.
Network Marketing: Along with the Wellness Industry Network Marketing is the other exploding industry and it is designed for people who want to change their lives.
Closing: Whether just consuming it for your health or sharing as a financial business opportunity or a combination of the two, find out what is changing lives.
