Lack of Zeaxanthin Linked to Poor Eyesight in Aging
Your eyes must process sunlight over the course of your life which exposes them to ionizing radiation that generates free radicals which must be deactivated by antioxidants, otherwise eyesight suffers undue wear and tear. A new study links another natural carotene, zeaxanthin, to age-associated loss of health in the macular region of the eye.Read More: anti-oxidants, Daily Protector™, eyesight, free radicals, Lutein, macular degeneration, natural carotene, sun exposure, zeaxanthin
Coenzyme Q10 Enhances Longevity and Vitality
Coenzyme Q10 is required for energy production within cells. When cellular energy declines then cells die faster and the process of aging is accelerated. The importance of Q10 as an energizing anti-aging nutrient was first proposed in the 1990s. In fact, Q10 was one of the first nutrients widely touted for anti-aging benefits. A number of new studies continue to show the importance of Q10 to extend life as well as to support a higher quality of energetic function.Read More: antioxidants, Celluar energy, free radicals, heart failure, Q 10
Antioxidants Protect Against Bone Loss
The more we learn about genes the more obvious it becomes that nutrition is the key to health, including bone health. A gene regulatory protein called Maf has now been identified which is needed in order to change bone stem cells into the important bone-building carpenters called osteoblasts. Too many free radicals, or the use of the diabetes drugs Avandia or Actos, causes Maf to turn off. This causes the stem cells to turn into fat cells instead of osteoblasts, causing bone loss and risk for osteoporosis.Read More: antioxidants, Avandia, bone loss, free radicals, osteoporosis
Major Blood Pressure Discovery Offers Immediate Solutions
British researchers using state-of-the-art x-ray technology have identified the primary reason blood pressure elevates in the first place. A key regulatory protein that regulates blood pressure, angiotensinogen, is damaged or oxidized by free radicals. This leads to a chain of events that are the source of the elevation of blood pressure. The significance of this discovery to human health and cardiovascular disease cannot be overstated.Read More: angiotensinogen, blood pressure, free radicals
Lipoic Acid Rejuvenates Aging Antioxidant Defenses in Brain and Heart
Acceleration of the aging process is invariably associated with increased free radical damage associated with inflammation and weakening antioxidant defense systems. A number of new studies show that R alpha lipoic acid can rejuvenate these faltering antioxidant defense systems, helping to protect your brain, your cardiovascular system, and even assisting individuals with poor thyroid function.Read More: aging, brain function, free radicals, heart, mitochondria, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid
