As the name implies, antioxidants are substances that are capable of counteracting the damaging, but normal, effects of the physiological process of oxidation in animal tissue.    Antioxidants are nutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as enzymes (proteins in your body that assist in chemical reactions). They are believed to play a role in preventing the      development of such chronic diseases as cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts.

Antioxidants block the process of oxidation by neutralizing free radicals. In doing so, the              antioxidants themselves become oxidized. That is why there is a constant need to replenish our       antioxidant resources.

Antioxidants also help neutralize free radicals which cause cell damage, which ultimately can lead to Blueberry Fruit In Hallock, OR -- 7.18.13diseases of the heart and        cancer.  It seems everywhere you go its          blueberry this and blueberry that.  You have your choice of wild blueberries, blueberry juice, blueberry-pomegranate juice, blueberry-cranberry juice and so on and so on. 

Now, don’t misunderstand me.  I absolutely love blueberries.  But, in our zeal to           embrace the latest antioxidant food craze (blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates) we’re ignoring some very high-antioxidant facts and foods that are probably sitting ignored in our cupboards.

How Antioxidants work can be classified in one of two ways:

·         Chain-breaking – When a free radical releases or steals an electron, a second radical is formed. This molecule then turns around and does the same thing to a third molecule,          continuing to generate more unstable products. The process continues until termination       occurs — either the radical is stabilized by a chain-breaking antioxidant such as beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, or it simply decays into a harmless product.

·         Preventive – Antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase prevent oxidation by reducing the rate of chain initiation. That is, by scavenging initiating radicals, such antioxidants can thwart an oxidation chain from ever setting in           motion. They can also prevent oxidation by stabilizing transition metal radicals such as          copper and iron.

The effectiveness of any given antioxidant in the body depends on which free radical is involved, how and where it is generated, and where the target of damage is. Thus, while in one particular system an antioxidant may protect against free radicals, in other systems it could have no effect at all. Or, in certain circumstances, an antioxidant may even act as a “pro-oxidant” that generates toxic oxygen species.

There are many common foods high in antioxidants and you should not just restrict yourself to one particular food source.  Why?  Well, have you ever heard the expression, “eat your colors?”   That refers to the fact that foods are in different color “families” containing different types of antioxidants which have different benefits. 

Eat All Of Your Colors -- Oranges, Apples, Berries -- Antioxidants -- 7.17.13

The good news is that you can eat healthy foods high in antioxidants (by eating them raw, cooking them, or juicing them yourself) without having to pay a high price for the “flavor of the month” Eat All Of Your Colors -- Oranges, Apples, Berries -- Antioxidants -- 7.17.13antioxidant juices being peddled in the supermarkets. 

 So, give your blueberries some company at the dinner table.  Invite some beans, spinach, potatoes and artichoke hearts and enjoy your antioxidants!

Let’s now further discuss the true ‘rainbow of color’ in detail and the diverse array of foods you can eat to receive antioxidant nutrients.

Antioxidant Nutrients

Antioxidants from our diet appear to be of great importance in controlling damage by free radicals. Each nutrient is unique in terms of its structure and antioxidant function.

Vitamin E is actually a generic term that refers to all entities (eight found so far) that exhibit biological activity of the isomer tocopherol (an isomer is one of two or more molecules that have the same chemical formula but different atomic arrangements). Alpha-tocopherol, the most widely available isomer, has the highest biopotency, or strongest effect in the body.      Because it is fat-soluble (and can only dissolve in fats), alpha-tocopherol is in a unique         position to safeguard cell membranes — largely composed of fatty acids — from damage by free radicals. Alpha-tocopherol also protects the fats in low-density lipoproteins (LDLs, or the “bad” cholesterol) from oxidation.

A 1997 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 60 mg of Walnuts, Peanuts, Almonds - From Dept Of Ag -- 7.17.13Vitamin E a day strengthened the        immune system in a group of healthy patients at least 65 years old, and 200 mg       generated a four-to-six fold improvement after four months. However, 800 mg of vitamin E resulted in worse immunity than receiving no vitamin E at all.

  • Vitamin E is found in vegetable oils, walnuts, peanuts, almonds, seeds, olives, avocado, wheat germ, liver, and leafy green vegetables.

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. As such, it scavenges free radicals that are in an aqueous (watery) environment, such as inside your cells. Vitamin C works synergistically with vitamin E to quench free radicals. Vitamin C also regenerates the reduced (stable) form of vitamin E.

  • For good sources of vitamin C, look to citrus fruits (like oranges and grapefruit), broccoli, leafy green vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, cantaloupe, and strawberries.

Oranges & Orange Juice -- Vitamin C -- 7.17.13

Beta-carotene, also a water-soluble vitamin, is the most widely studied of the 600 carotenoids identified to date. It is thought to be the best quencher of singlet oxygen (an energized but uncharged form of oxygen that is toxic to cells). Beta-carotene is also especially excellent at scavenging free radicals in low oxygen concentration. Beta Carotene -- Red & Green Peppers -- 7.17.13

  • Common sources of beta-carotene include cantaloupe, mangoes, papaya, pumpkin, peppers, spinach, kale, squash, sweet potatoes, and apricots.

 

 

Selenium is a trace element. It is a mineral that we need to consume in only very small quantities, but without which we could not survive. It forms the active site of several antioxidant enzymes including glutathione peroxidase. Beef & Pork -- Selenium -- 7.17.13

  • You can find selenium in seafood, beef, pork, chicken, Brazil nuts, brown rice, and whole wheat bread.

Similar to selenium, the minerals manganese and zinc are trace elements that form an essential part of various antioxidant enzymes.

Zinc is considered to be an essential mineral and occurs naturally in certain foods, the National Institutes of Health report. Oysters have more zinc content than any other food source. Six medium servings of oysters contain 76 milligrams of zinc, more than 500 percent of the daily value, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Oysters -- Zinc -- 7.17.13

Nearly all green vegetables have a chlorophyll molecule that contains magnesium, the NIH reports. Spinach and Swiss chard are the two leafy vegetables with the highest magnesium content, the World’s Healthiest Foods website calculates. Other good sources of magnesium include cooked halibut, dry-roasted almonds and cashews, cooked soybeans, shredded wheat cereal, fortified oatmeal, baked potato and peanut butter. Each has 50 milligrams or more of magnesium, which is at least 15 percent of the daily value.

Raspberries and blackberries stand out as the top berry sources of both magnesium and zinc. One cup of fresh raspberries contains 27 milligrams of magnesium and 0.52 milligrams of zinc. One cup Berries -- Fruit Assortment -- Zinc & Magnese -- 7.17.13of fresh blackberries has 29 milligrams of magnesium and 0.76 milligrams of zinc. Fresh raspberries and blackberries can be eaten plain as a healthy side dish or stirred into a bowl of hot cereal. Fresh berries are also a healthy topping for waffles or pancakes.

Many dried fruits are a good source of both magnesium and zinc. One cup of dried   apricots contains 28 milligrams of magnesium and 0.35 milligrams of zinc. One cup of prunes has 59 milligrams of magnesium and 0.70 milligrams of zinc. A 1 cup serving of dried dates contains 63 milligrams of magnesium and 0.43 milligrams of zinc. Add dried fruits to your favorite trail mix or bowl of cold cereal.

Of course, in addition to eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, getting regular exercise and abstaining from tobacco use are very critical to a healthy lifestyle.

Over the last several years, the Board has been updating and expanding the system for determining the RDA and UL values, which are now collectively referred to as the Dietary Reference Intakes, or DRIs. The following recommendations were made for consumption of antioxidants in the 2000 report, “Dietary Reference Intakes for Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, and Carotenoids”:

Antioxidant

RDA (adults)

Upper Level (adults)

Comment

Vitamin E

15 mg

1,070 mg natural vitamin E

785 mg synthetic vitamin E

Higher amounts impair blood clotting, increasing likelihood of hemorrhage.

Vitamin C

Women: 75 mg
Men: 90 mg

2,000 mg

Higher amounts could lead to diarrhea and other GI disturbances. Extremely high levels may lead to cancer, atherosclerosis, and kidney stones.

Beta-carotene

None

None

Chronic high doses turn your skin yellow-orange, but it is not toxic. However, research indicates it is unwise to consume doses of beta-carotene beyond what is in a multivitamin and your regular diet.

Selenium

55 micrograms

400 micrograms

Higher amounts could cause hair loss, skin rashes, fatigue, GI disturbances, and nervous system abnormalities.

Antioxidant Enzymes

For those analytical and biological minded readers, let us look at the process of producing antioxidant enzymes.  The antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) serve as your primary line of defense in destroying free radicals.

SOD first reduces (adds an electron to) the radical superoxide (O2-) to form hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxygen (O2).

2O2- + 2H — SOD–>  H2O2 + O2

Catalase and GPx then work simultaneously with the protein glutathione to reduce hydrogen peroxide and ultimately produce water (H2O).

2H2O2  –CAT–>  H2O + O2

H2O2 + 2glutathione   –GPx–>  oxidized glutathione + 2H2O

(The oxidized glutathione is then reduced by another antioxidant enzyme — glutathione reductase.)

Together, they repair oxidized DNA, degrade oxidized protein, and destroy oxidized lipids (fat-like substances that are a constituent of cell membranes). Various other enzymes act as a secondary antioxidant defense mechanism to protect you from further damage.

Other Antioxidants

In addition to enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, there appear to be many other nutrients and compounds that have antioxidant properties. Among them is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, or ubiquinone), which is essential to energy production and can also protect the body from destructive free radicals. Also, uric acid, a product of DNA metabolism, has become increasingly recognized as an important antioxidant. Additionally, substances in plants called phytochemicals are being investigated for their antioxidant activity and health-promoting potential.

In Summary

Antioxidants are best taken in combination, since single antioxidants, such as vitamin E, need other vitamins in order to work as an effective antioxidant. Food and natural supplements may therefore provide the most bio-available source of antioxidants. Natural products from the rain forests of the world are some of the best sources of natural antioxidants ever found. Fruits like the acai berry are amazing the health world because of the wide range and high number of antioxidants they contain, making them a perfect source of antioxidants. It’s no wonder that the acai berry has been dubbed one of the top 10 “superfoods” in the world. 

The juices are fortified with botanical extracts that help maintain healthy cellular and physical functions. The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out 10 people die from dietary deficiencies. When the body is completely clean, the result is the protective organs functioning properly helping to eliminate toxins that aren’t healthy.

This Kind Of Gas Isn’t Good: Are You Lactose Intolerant?

Do you know anyone who can’t consume milk or milk-based products? The condition is not uncommon and these people are classified as lactose intolerant.

Lactose is the main carbohydrate or sugar found in milk, and in varying quantities in dairy products made from milk including yoghurt, ice cream, soft cheeses and butter. Lactose (milk sugar) intolerance results from an inability to digest lactose in the small intestine.

Back in the cave-days, the only time a person would ever ingest lactose would be when they were infants getting milk from their mothers. During their adult lives milk was never consumed. Only with the invention of agriculture has milk become readily available to adults. Lactose is unique in that only in milk does it exist as a free form, unattached to other molecules.

What causes lactose intolerance?

Lactose is digested in the small intestine by an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme allows the body to break down the lactose into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. These are quickly    Digestive System -- Lactose Intolerance -- 7.10.13absorbed by the intestine and provide energy for the body. The level of the lactase enzyme varies between individuals, as does the severity of the symptoms caused by lactose intolerance.

What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?

Symptoms range from milk abdominal discomfort, bloating and excessive wind — ‘gas’ — to sever abdominal cramps and diarrhoea.

How is it treated?

There is no cure for lactose intolerance. But you can treat your symptoms

by limiting or avoidingmilk products. Some people use milk with reduced

lactose, or they substitute soy milk and soycheese for milk and milk products.

Some people who are lactose-intolerant can eat yogurt without problems,

especially yogurt with live cultures. You can also take dietary supplements

called lactase products that help digest lactose. In time, most people who

have lactose intolerance get to knowtheir bodies well enough to avoid symptoms.

One of the biggest concerns for people who are lactose-intolerant is making

sure they get enough of the nutrients found in milk products, especially calcium.

Calcium is most important for children,teens, pregnant women, and women after

menopause.

There are many nondairy foods that contain calcium, including:

·         Broccoli, okra, kale, collards, and turnip greens.

·         Canned sardines, tuna, and salmon.

·         Calcium-fortified juices and cereals.

·         Calcium-fortified soy products such as soy milk, tofu,                           and soybeans.

·         Almonds.

 Substitutes for lactose-containing foods

Lactose intolerance generally isn’t serious and can be controlled by some simple changes in your diet. The dietary changes for lactose intolerance should include the exclusion of those foods highest in lactose. There is now a wide range of fresh soy milks, yoghurts and ice creams which are lactose free and calcium enriched. Many dairy foods actually have little or no lactose so you can continue to enjoy them.

 The Power of Soy Protein

 Soy-based products are also on the rise for very healthy reasons. The humble soybean boasts some extraordinary benefits. Lactose-free, soy protein is a “complete protein” which contains all 9 essential amino acids in the right balance to meet your body’s needs. Soy protein is the only plant protein that is complete. This makes it a great substitute for many meats, allowing you to eliminate more saturated fat and cholesterol from your diet.

While soybeans have much to offer from a protein perspective, it is because they contain so many nutrients, such as isoflavones, that they are now the centre of so much attention. Soy protein enhances the body’s ability to retain and better absorb calcium into the bones. Soy isoflavones help by slowing bone loss and inhibiting bone breakdown.

May we also suggest a product which many have experience great success with the side effects of lactose intolerance.  This product is all natural and called Pro Digest.

Pro-Digest is designed to help build and retain a healthy digestive system by restoring your natural Ardyss Pro Digest balance. It assists in breaking down food into nutrients your body can absorb, which can reduce occasional indigestion, gas, and bloating. This probiotic blend includes “good” bacteria with Super Digestive Support enriched with protein, fatty acids, phytonutrients, and antioxidants to promote healthy digestion.   $41.00

Our Everyday Health Benefits:                              Supports immune system.                                                                                                                  Supports heart health.                                                                                                                      Improves nutrient absorption.                                                                                                           Reduces occasional indigestion, gas, and bloating.
