Three Top Cancer-Fighting Antioxidants

"Antioxidants are natural, protective molecules that Mother Nature has put into all kinds of foods, including fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, even some oils, and also in the leaves that we use to make beverages. The way they actually work is they protect our DNA against the type of damage that can be caused by free radicals, which are the harmful chemicals that our bodies absorb from many different sources in the environment, for example, cigarette smoke or pollution, or fried foods. There are literally thousands of different types of antioxidants." - Dr. William Li, president of the Angiogenesis Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to conquering diseases such as cancer

According to Dr. Li, who has appeared on programs such as Dr. Oz, Martha Stewart and TED Talks, three of the top cancer-fighting antioxidants are carotenoids, isothiocyanates and flavonoids.

Carotenoids are a group of more than 600 antioxidants that help give fruits and vegetables their colors, for example, the beta-carotene in carrots and the lycopene in tomatoes.

Derived from green, leafy vegetables, isothiocyanates are a group of more than 1,000 natural molecules that defend the body by helping cells produce more antioxidant enzymes that intercept and destroy free radicals.

Flavonoids are the most common antioxidants, with more than 6,000 different molecules. Most are pigments found in brightly colored foods, such as cranberries and red cabbage. The body metabolizes flavonoids into uric acid, which neutralizes free radicals that can cause damage to DNA and healthy cells.

And then there is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), an antioxidant produced by the body, but in decreasing levels in people over the age of thirty. Supplementation is an effective way to increase levels of this vital antioxidant that sparks the production of cellular energy.

No matter what the season, the more antioxidants, the better for your body in terms of disease prevention and anti-aging. Getting a wide variety is important, since each type of antioxidant provides different benefits and works on different body systems.

For optimal defense, eat an assortment of antioxidant-rich foods. To add even more of Mother Nature's protective antioxidants, take Proancynol 2000, BarleyLife, CellSparc 360, CoCoa LeafGreens, Just Carrots, RediBeets and CranVerry+.
