Antioxidants By Zachary Thompson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Antitoxins convert free radicals into non-toxic substances. Free radicals are formed when the body goes through the functions of metabolism and oxidation. This prevents cells from being destroyed and will help to slow down the aging process. This will also result in healthier looking skin. Antitoxins can also help your body’s immune system and help you fight against a number of diseases and ailments.

There are several foods that can provide us with antitoxins. Many natural foods high in antitoxins are fish, vegetables, and fruits. Some common fruits include prunes, melons, apples, berries, and plums. Some vegetables are also high in antitoxins; common ones are tomatoes, winter vegetables- like cabbage, broccoli, beets, and spinach. Seafood is also a good source of antitoxins. Oils containing antitoxins include; sunflower, safflower, almond oil, and hazelnut.

Foods that contain these vitamins will also have antitoxins. They are B12, Vitamin A, E, C, B6, folic acid, Selenium, and carotene. By eating a natural diet, you can include many of these vitamins and antitoxins.

It is easy to adjust your diet to a natural one:

1. Cut out refined and processed food. Foods in packages and tins are convenient, but are often so highly processed that many of the nutrients and antitoxins are lost. Refined foods also include white bread and rice. Try to replace these foods with whole grains and non-processed foods.

2. Try to increase fruits and vegetables in your diet. Many of these foods have the vitamins and antitoxins, see above.

3. Include some seafood in your diet. However, it is best not to overdo this, as sometimes there can be some heavy metals like mercury in fish due to contamination of water.

4. The oils, sunflower, and safflower mentioned above are good replacements for your cooking oil.

5. The additions of Yogurt and vinegar will also give you antitoxins.

Diet supplements can also give you antitoxins. There is a vast array of these products on the market today. Some come in the form of juices, others in pills and capsules. Some of the best supplements are those with Glyconutrients. These substances not only provide antitoxins, but also help your body’s natural immune system.

There are 8 Glyconutrients:

1. Xylose
2. Fucose
3. Galactose
4. Mannose
5. Glucose
6. N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)
7. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)
8. N-acetylneuraminic acid

These 8 vital nutrients play a very important role in the body. They help the body’s cells to communicate with each other. As well as this, they boost the immune system and provide it with antitoxins.
