Protect DNA from free radicals

Protect DNA from free radicals!

The mistakes in the kitchen, pollution, smoking, a sedentary life but even a very intense physical activity increase free radicals & harm our DNA.

Many studies prove that a shortage of vitamins, minerals & antioxbstances cause damage to our DNA, as serious as those caused by radiations.  Our organism manages to keep away the damage only by controlling the free radical activity & manages to do this through antioxidant substances known as ENDOGENOUS (produced by our organism) and EXOGENOUS (found in foods).

There are many types of excellent antioxidant substances like: glutathione, catalase & superoxide dismutase.

Some scientists from the University of Colorado, discovered that some foods help in the production of these antioxidants, help our organism remain young & fight certain diseases, for example they have verified that the antioxidants found in grapeseeds are capable to block tumors present in breast, prostate & colon.

Amongst the nutraceutic foods that is those important foods that provide our organism with nutrients we find:

• red wine
• goji berries
• saffron

Red wine has a very strong cardio protective action, and can alsoreduce the risk of coronary atherosclerosis. The polylphenols found in the wine have a very strong antioxidant action that they manage to block the production of LDL cholesterol.  All this is due to the RESVERATROL, a compound found in the grape’s peel that helps the fruit defend itself from fungal infections, moreover it protects human DNA from mutations & is 10 times stronger than vitamin E.  The resveratrol extends cell life, by activating the SITUIN, longevity protein found in skin cells.  This protein protects our DNA from damages that cause ageing.  The recommended daily wine quantity is 1 glass for women & 2 for men.

Lately we hear a lot about Goji berries, also known as the “longevity fruit”, thanks to their antioxidant power.  They alsprotect our DNA from mutations & damages.  Atheir elements they contain ellagic acid, that is an anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory & anti-pathogen.  Goji Berries give us a great satiety feeling but yet hava very low glycemic index making them suitable for who has high glycemic levels.  They are rich in betacarotene & this high concentration helps regenerate skin; they also have anti-coagulant properties, they help our blood be more fluid & therefore reduce blood pressure, they speed up our metabolism, give more energy & tone to our organism. 

Saffron contains vitamin B1, B2, B6 & folate, ideal for our nervous system, metabolism & hearing; it also provides us with antioxidants such as, vitamin C, lycopene & zeaxanthin. Saffron is a powerful antioxidant especially due to its content of crocetin, crocin & picrocrocin and carotenoids.  Saffron boosts our memory & protects our brain from Alzheimer, also protects our retina’s photoreceptors from damage caused by free radicals & also from premature ageing.  Furthermore it improves our blood flow & contrasts cholesterol accumulation.  A recent study conducted by the National Pediatric Institute of New Mexico encountered the powerful anti-cancer action that saffron has, by consuming just 1g per day whereas to boost our memory & contrast Alzheimer 30mg per day are enough.
