Why Consume Antioxidants?

This is simply all about energy.  We must convert the food we consume, into the energy we use to fuel our day to day lives.  The more energy we have, the more able we are to achieve the life we would ultimately like to be living.

In order to give our bodies energy, we need oxygen molecules.  The oxygen molecule, having a smaller number of electrons, is able to accept electrons from our food and release the energy into our cells.

It is unfortunate that during this natural process, a large number of electron-deficient molecules will manage to escape.  These molecules are better known as free radicals.

These free radicals then steal electrons from any stable molecule they come in contact with, and the ongoing theft can leave cells damaged and unable to successfully reproduce.

When this process of destabilization occurs, it is known as oxidation. There is large body of research that links this oxidative damage of the cellular structure, to that of many modern health related issues.

No wonder our energy levels aren’t always where we would desire them to be.

This is why antioxidants are of so much benefit to the body - by sharing their electrons, antioxidants are able to neutralize free radicals and stop the severe damage they would otherwise cause.

Where do we find antioxidants?

Found in some of our most important food groups, antioxidants are particularly abundant in fresh organic fruits and vegetables.

A diet high in antioxidant rich vegetables and fruit is actually able to redress the balance of electron-deficient molecules and reduce oxidative stress.

The modern diet of western society has unfortunately taken a path that sees most people not getting many of the essential nutrients and anti-oxidants that they need. In fact, our modern diet is the reason so many chronic illnesses have been on the rise, unabated, for a couple of generations.

So, what other choice is there?  How about a supplement. Which antioxidant should we choose? Well, there are a couple of things to consider.

Bio-availability is a key measure of an antioxidant and refers to how easily the body can use and assimilate it.   Another important consideration is the antioxidant strength. A standard known as ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) is often used to compare the relative strength of antioxidants. Check your anti-oxidant against others on the market by using this scale.  Something as simple as increasing your anti-oxidant intake could increase your energy levels and have you feeling better. Why not give it a go.

Balanced Choices Can Benefit Good Health and Longevity

Dr. Jamie Phillips

Just the other day I read an article on sciencedaily.com how caffeine improved memory loss in aged mice raised to develop symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. The article lead with the suggestion that "Coffee drinkers may have another reason to pour that extra cup."  It continued by reporting on a sequence of studies published online July 6 in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease that demonstrated that caffeine notably decreased abnormal levels of the protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, both in the brains and in the blood of mice that had developed symptoms of the disease.

However, before you opt to add another cup of coffee to your morning ritual, let me, Dr. Jamie Phillips add that also on the website, under "Related Stories," were at least two articles about studies that showed the not-so-healthy effects of caffeine, "Morning Jolt of Caffeine May Mask Serious Sleep Problems," and "Coffee Consumption Linked To Increased Risk Of Heart Attack For Persons With Certain Gene Variation."

It seems to me that there are conceivably many studies that will affirm, or at least support, nearly any view point, especially when it is about health and longevity. The "good/bad" studies related to caffeine certainly aren't, by any means, the only ones. Even so, it did get me to thinking about the likelihood that there will not ever be just "one thing" that will absolutely help we, humans, to live longer, healthier lives. We are dynamic, biological creatures. We aren't bred in a cage! We are free to engage in life. And, furthermore, though Alzheimer's disease is likely on the rise, obviously no one has been "artificially induced to develop symptoms of Alzheimer's disease," so caffeine isn't entirely the "one thing" that will reverse or prevent it.

Our body is a splendid, complex system that is designed to function homeostasis or balance. It makes sense, then, that good health has more to do with a healthy, balanced attitude towards living, as opposed to our jumping on the bandwagon of the latest health study and "doing" or "overdoing" one specific thing under the illusion that it will reverse all of the other over-indulgent and unhealthy things we do to our bodies.

I believe, as a chiropractor in Santa Barbara, that every single day we have an opportunity to choose healthfully for our body, decisions that will help us to live longer, healthier lives. We know what genuinely "feels" life enriching and what doesn't when it comes to what is good for our body. So, I just wanted to offer a little something for you to keep in mind the next time you reach for that extra cup of coffee or second glass of red wine. Neither one of those things is the "one thing" that will do "everything" for your age-related health issues.
