Anti-aging diet therapy from old age Bashny.Net

Today, probably, everyone knows about the antioxidant theory of the struggle with old age and disease.Its essence is that the body is aging and aching due to damage to cells by free radicals.





And protect the body from these pests substances, called antioxidants. These include vitamins (A, E, C), minerals (selenium, magnesium, copper), biologically active substances (flavonoids, lycopene, lutein, lignans).

Some antioxidants produced in the body, but many of them a person receives with food. If they enter the body in sufficient quantities, the cells are safely protected from damage and destruction. Because of this man stays healthy, young and cheerful, both inwardly and outwardly. If someone has overcome the disease, and the reflection in the mirror upsets wrinkles, sallow color, dull hair and tired eyes, then the body suffers from a lack of antioxidants.

Most natural antioxidants found in plants — berries, fruits, vegetables. With their help, plants are protected from free radicals, which are affected through the air. Scientists from Boston through years of experimental studies of different food products determined their ability to neutralize free radicals. The ability of different products to neutralize harmful free radicals in Boston, the researchers counted in units of ORAC(from the English. oxygen radical absorbance capacity).

The ORAC measurement system was developed by scientists of the National Institute of Aging in 1992 and verified as a comprehensive tool for measuring the use of fruits, vegetables and other antioxidant foods and supplements for health.

Was determined the quantity ORAC, which is required by the body every day to maintain normal processes — 3500 units. This number can be increased. Scientists say that doubling this dose can give extra protection from aging.

We offer you a list of products and the number of ORAC contained in them.This will help you to make a "useful daily menu", making the correct calculations.
