JessiccaKnowing Antioxidants: Secondary Antioxidants
March 30th 2007 00:38
The previous posts are all about primary antioxidants. Now we will look into the secondary antioxidants as they are very important simply because the primary antioxidants may not be sufficient to help fight against all free radicals produced, especially as we age. The body also needs to depend on dietary source (secondary antioxidants) for support.
However it may difficult to obtain enough antioxidants from diet to cope with all the free radicals generated. One could look at supplements to fill the gaps such as vitamins A, C and E; antioxidant support minerals (selenium, zinc, copper and manganese); other substance such as polyphenols (found in grapes and green tea) and OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins – found in grape seed extract) is also a good source.

I recently had a conversation with an ex-heart patient who started 1 tablespoon of Flaxseed oil daily for the last three months and his heart is as good as gold?
No doubts he changed his diet too, but this oil must be powerful stuff.
Look forward to more info... is it possible to ask for pictures or lists of natural sources of these anti-oxidants where possible?
Blessed days to you too, my friend.

Recently my mom has been taking some special suppliments and one of them contains antioxidants. I'll try to get that list and see where the source come from. Then I'll post it here when I manage to compile all of them.
Thanks for your support!
have a blessed weekend

But I think if I were to eat everything recommended I'd never stop eating.
Looking forward to some more interesting information.
