HealingAntioxidants - The Health Benefits and a List of Common Antioxidants Foods

Antioxidants provide protection to the body from damage caused by ?free radicals.? We are exposed to free radicals through by-products of normal processes that take place in the body which includes:

? Burning sugars for energy

? Release of digestive enzymes to break down food

? When the body breaks down certain medications

? Through pollutants

Vitamins that include antioxidants are:

? Vitamin C and E

Minerals that include antioxidants are:

? Selenium

? Flavonoids

The best sources of antioxidants include:

? Fruits

? Vegetables

? Some teas

You can also buy antioxidant supplements and it can be found in red wine as well as Grape juice.

Antioxidants are used to treat or prevent:

? Coronary artery disease

? Some cancers

? Macular degeneration

? Alzheimer?s disease

? Some arthritis-related conditions

You should get your antioxidants mainly from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables rather than supplements. No single antioxidant can protect the body; taking supplements in high doses can be harmful. There is continuous research going on about antioxidants, but until more studies are done, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to obtain the health benefits of antioxidants.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration do not regulate dietary supplements in the same way it regulates medication. Dietary supplements can be sold with limited or no research on how well it works. Always discuss with your doctor dietary supplements you wish to combine with your conventional medical treatment.

Things to keep in mind when using dietary supplements may include:

? Dietary supplements may cause side effects just the same as conventional medicines

? Dietary supplements can also trigger allergic reactions the same as conventional medicines

? Dietary supplements may interact with another medication or supplement

? Because dietary supplements are not standardized in their manufacturing, how well they work or side effects they cause may differ among brands or even within different lots of one brand.

? The form available in grocery stores or health food stores may not be the same as the form used in research

? The long-term effects of most dietary supplements, other than in vitamins and minerals, are not known.

Below is a list of some common foods with the most antioxidants:

? Small Red Bean (dried)

? Wild Blueberry (I like eating dried wild Blueberries for snacks or servings of fruit)

? Red Kidney bean (dried)

? Pinto beans

? Blueberry (cultivated)

? Cranberries

? Blackberries

? Prunes

? Raspberries

? Strawberries

? Red Delicious Apple (wouldn?t you know my favorite is the yellow delicious apple instead)

? Granny Smith Apple

? Pecans

? Black plums

? Russet Potato (cooked)

? Sweet cherries

Geo Organic Reviews and information

Geo OrganicThe magic of pain free good health


Has the use of aromas and herbs, only recently been appreciated for their healing, and recuperative qualities? Most certainly not.

Aromas had been used for medicinal, spiritual, and magical purposes going back as far back as Egyptian times 3000 B.C. Even further back in time 5000 B.C. the Tassili cave paintings showed women wearing fragrant flower garlands. There are frequent mentions of the use of potions throughout history Pliny the 1st century Roman historian, mentions in his Natural History narrative, 32 remedies prepared from roses, 21 from lilies, 17 from violets, and 25 from pennyroyal. Ancient Indian cultures used sandalwood for genito-urinary infections.

Nostradamus, at the age of 21 received a licence, having studied in Montpellier France, to practise medicine. One of the formulae which he used as a remedy for several conditions, has survived to this day, and was compounded of rose petals, cloves, lignum aloes, and the dried roots of iris and sweet flag.

The ancient Greeks also contributed to the origins of herbal medicine. Dioscorides, a military doctor was the author of De Materia Medica a book on herbal medicine, which was the foundation of all subsequent books for a further 1600 years. Galen another Greek doctor also wrote a major book on herbal medicine De Simplicibus in the 2nd century which was used up to the middle ages by the Islamic physicians.

The word of herbalism was carried to Europe via the crusaders, and the texts were translated into Latin, which when printing was developed, the information became more widespread, though only if you could read. So herbal folklore passed on from generation to generation, by word of mouth. In the 16th century John Gerard published in 1597 the "Herbal or General Historie of Plantes". He had been greatly influenced by the great medical scholar Paracelsus.

Now in recent time the medical fraternity is becoming aware of the benefits of some of these ancient methods, and in the United Kingdom some areas are becoming available on the National Health System. I would invite you to visit the sites included in www.magicure.com and see for yourself the benefits that are available.

What Exactly are Paraben Preservatives?

Parabens are synthetic preservatives that have been in use since the 1920s as "broad-band" preservatives (anti-bacterial and anti-fungal) which means that they work within a formula to prevent the growth of multiple possible contaminants such as bacteria, yeast, mold and fungi. They can be found in approximately 75-90 percent of cosmetics such as make-up, lotion, deodorants and shampoos. According to A Consumers Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients, water is the only cosmetic ingredient used more frequently than paraben preservatives. (Winter, 2005) Paraben is the family name for the following permutations of the ingredient found on a common product ingredient label:

Heart Rate Training Optimizes Your 5k Training Program

Are you looking for a 5k training program? When you start looking you see many program offering beginner programs and advanced programs. What is interesting is that most beginner programs are too many miles for the average beginner. The key to effective 5k cardio plans is for every person to have their own heart rate profile. With optimal heart rate training every workout will be optimized for the greatest impact for your results. Heart rate training is for advanced and beginners; the difference is the heart rate profile not using a heart rate monitor.

The most effective cardio workout for running faster races and burning fat is interval training. Interval training is short durations of high intensity followed by short durations of low intensity and then repeated. Most programs only offer interval training for advanced programs though effective programming is good for all levels. The key is a person's heart rate profile. The most advanced you are the higher heart rate you want to train at for your interval.
