Our bodies
show signs of aging due to the amount of oxidation they experience.
Aging may be the result of oxidation to the central nervous system.
Over time there will be an increase in age-associated diseases,
which involve the nervous system such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
disease.
Several studies suggest that foods can reduce the oxidation due to
their antioxidant activity. Memory impairment and difficulties in
concentration can be reduced with fruit and vegetables high in
falconoids and antioxidants.
James Joseph, Ph.D., lead scientist at the Laboratory of
Neuroscience of the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at
Tufts University found astonishing results with spinach and berries.
He found that diets supplemented with either spinach, strawberries
or blueberries can prevent declines in motor learning and memory in
aged animals. All three supplements; blueberries, strawberries and
spinach improved short-term memory. Only the blueberries improved
balance and coordination.
The Natural Safeguard
Against Stroke, Heart Disease And Cancer
Flavonoids are photochemicals and strong antioxidants. The process
of heart disease is thought to be due to free radical damage.
Flavonoids can destroy the two most dangerous types of free
radicals. They may be a natural heart disease preventive since
flavonoids can also lower blood cholesterol.
Reduce Risk of
Stroke by 31%
One study showed that the highest fruit and vegetable eaters were
found to have a 31% lower risk of stroke. The women had almost 6
servings per day and the men about 5 servings. Each addititonal
serving per day cut their risk by 6%. The key compoments of fruits
and vegetables that were responsible for less stroke risks were
flavonoids, potassium, folate and fiber which berries have in high
amounts.
Berries Are
The Edible Superstars That Act As a Shield of Armor Against Disease,
Illness and Damage to Your Health Caused by Free Radicals
Our formula includes over 20 berries extracted with a new extraction
process. It exponentially accelerates the antioxidant values. With
an ORCA (ORCA means Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity which
is the standard for measuring the potency of an antioxidant.) value
of no less than 5000, this powerful addition to Life-Factors™
provides nature's best answer to free radical damage.
Berries Protect Against Certain Cancers, Heart Disease, and Aging
Specific fruits and vegetables have been showcased as superior
health protectors. Brightly colored berries are edible superstars
that may protect against certain cancers, heart disease and aging.
Berries have been given this high status because of the vitamins,
minerals, dietary fiber and the phytochemicals that they contain.
Phytochemicals are plant substances that promote health and prevent
chronic disease. Some of these phytochemicals are antioxidants;
flavonoids, quercetin, anthocyanins and ellagic acid.
Berries Neutralize
Free Radicals and Prevent Cell Damage
Exposure to our environment causes our bodies to form free radicals.
When free radicals attack the cell membrane it starts the
development of heart disease. When they injure the DNA in the cell
it initiates cancer. A free radical assault is called oxidation
since it reacts with oxygen.
Antioxidants fight against oxidation. They neutralize the free
radicals and prevent cell damage. Concentrated sources of
antioxidants such as berries will have the greatest impact on the
antioxidant fighting capacity in the body.
Berries are the Highest Scoring Food on the Antioxidant Scale
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a test that measures
the total antioxidant score of foods.
Four berries topped the ORAC chart for 10 fresh fruits tested.
Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries showed
superior ORAC scores.
Blue berries and blackberries even beat the top ORAC vegetable; kale
and strawberries beat the second highest ORAC vegetable; spinach.
All four berries won over the eight other vegetables tested for ORAC
value showing their superiority as antioxidant fighters.
