How To Get The Antioxidants Your Body Needs

How To Get The Antioxidants Your Body Needs
Young or old, our body absorbs toxins every day. If we
don't get rid of them on a regular basis we get sick.
Sometimes we are all so full of toxins that our bodies are
struggling to get or stay healthy. These toxins not only
cause serious diseases such as cancer, they can also cause
you to experience depression and are linked to several
reasons why you may not be able to maintain your ideal
weight. Because these toxins are in the air you breathe,
the water you drink, and the food you eat - you can't avoid
them. But you can take steps to reduce their effects and
routinely eliminate them from your system.

Your body naturally produces antioxidants. But what are
antioxidants used for? As you age or if you become sick,
the production of antioxidants by your body slows down
resulting in your body not being able to rid itself of
toxins it absorbed. Depending on the environment your
children live in or the foods they eat, the antioxidants
that their bodies naturally produce may have a hard time
keeping up with eliminating the toxins in their very active
young bodies. To help your body, you need to provide
antioxidants from an outside source. Doing so can make you
and your children healthier by increasing the body's
ability to fight off sickness and disease.

Science has shown that green vegetables contain the
antioxidants that your body craves. It's about time that
science agrees with what mom's have been saying all along -
eat your spinach! The FDA currently recommends at least
two full servings of greens each and every day. Note the
word 'currently' - because the amount of nutrients in your
fruits and vegetables is decreasing and what took one
serving 25 years ago now takes two. Eating two servings of
green vegetables in today's fast-paced world is hard to do.
When was the last time you ate two servings of green
vegetables in one day? Now think about the last time you
had two servings of green vegetables two days in a row?
Other foods that include antioxidants include red beans,
black plums, and wild blueberries. But one of the quality
sources of antioxidants from food comes from your green
vegetables.

Let's face it, if you are like most Americans your eating
habits are not the best they could be because for many of
us, we tend to eat on the run. Instead of coming home from
work to cook a hot healthy meal, you wind up getting dinner
at a drive thru window on the way home. This rushed
lifestyle means that you're not only missing out on the
recommended two servings of greens each day - it also means
that you should consider yourself lucky to get even one
serving PER WEEK! Your rushed lifestyle habits are
counter to your own good health. You become one of the
millions within the US that experience nagging health
issues or health-related problems. You may be depressed or
overweight. At the end of the day you may feel tired, or
achy, or in general - just don't feel right. These
symptoms can all be traced back to the toxins that build up
in your body and not eating the foods that help your body
get rid of them.

Fortunately, there are easy ways you can get your two
servings of greens each day. There is even a way to get
your two servings per day without eating a single bite of
them! This is great news for people who would never put
the greens on their plate to begin with, even if they were
available - like your kids! The bottom line is that you
don't have to like the greens to get the benefits from them.

There are a variety of products but very few that contain a
100% vegetarian green food formula. With a very little bit
of Internet searching you should be able to find a green
food, all-vegetarian supplement that contains concentrated,
organic and natural ingredients. Many of these formulas
are also used in anti-aging supplements. Vegetables like
broccoli and lettuce should be included in the mix. They
are typically ground up into a formula that provides all
the nutrients and antioxidants that enable your body to get
rid of toxins.

Among other actions and benefits, a green food supplement
can rebalance your body's pH, and stimulate cellular
cleansing throughout your body. When this happens, your
body detoxifies by natural elimination (going to the
bathroom). As your body gets rid of the built-up toxins,
many health conditions you may have been experiencing
improve. Your body is better able to prevent or fight off
disease - making you feel better. When your body is
detoxified, you will find that you enjoy a deeper sleep,
feel healthier, and have more energy.

The next time you pick your dinner up at a drive-through
window, remember that you can "drink" your daily serving of
a natural nutritional supplement and take comfort in
knowing that you are getting the green vegetables, and more
importantly the antioxidant advantages and general
nutrients, that you need in your system to promote good
health.
