Antioxidants
Written by Dr. Stuart Hoover
ANTIOXIDANTS - Dr Hoover Healthy Coffee Newsletter Vol. 3nAntioxidants protect the cells in our bodies. Studies have shown that they play a key role in living a longer and healthier life. Antioxidants protect our bodies from free radicals that can damage DNA and therefore cause our cells to reproduce improperly which can lead to any number of health challenges. Think of it like "Rusting"! Antioxidants boost our immunity, make our muscles stronger, and keep our bones and skin healthy. Antioxidants are found in fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C, Selenium, and Beta Carotene.
The cells in our body fight against free radicals introduced into our body from any number of sources from what we eat to what we breathe (avoid pollution and smokers) and how we live our lives.
Antioxidants cannot be created in our bodies; they must come from our diet. They are natural substances that we get from eating fruits and vegetables. These valuable antioxidants are concentrated in the most brightly colored fruits and vegetables.
The Reishi blend used in all of our Healthy Coffee products and capsules contains the highest level of diverse antioxidants found in any food or supplement that exists. There is not even a "runner up" when it comes to the amount of different anti-oxidants that reishi contains. That is why reishi is often referred to as "nature's perfect food".
By consuming the Gano Excel brand of Healthy Coffees, or even going a step further and taking the direct extract in their Ganoderma (Reishi) and Excellium (Brain Food) capsules, a few of the benefits from the 200 active nutrients, vitamins and minerals including 150+ different antioxidants one can be helped to achieve are:
1. Rejuvenate at a cellular leveln2. Promote feeling young and alert n3. Reduce fatigue - both mental and physicaln4. Support and modulate the immune systemn5. Promote restful sleepn6. Improve overall performancennThese are just a few benefits we receive when using Reishi!
The question is, Have you had your Reishi today?
All the best in health, n nDr. Stuart Hoovernnwww.javajohn.wsnJohn Stevensn 613-735-2735njohn.stevens1@sympatico.ca
