For people trying to stay young within themselves both their heart and their spirit are what matters. However, staying young on the outside has its challenges. Keeping your skin looking young is certainly a daunting task. Many people are successful in achieving this without anyone else even knowing, and when various people inquire as to what their antiaging secret is, they would answer with ‘antioxidants’.

Many of us have noticed this type of phenomenon on TV or perhaps on the Internet, yet we all ponder what this secret is all about. An antioxidant is a form of chemical that counteracts what are known as free radicals into non-toxic elements, so the primary effect is to stop the body’s cells from being destroyed and contributing to the aging process. In the human body there is a process known as the oxidizing process. From this process radicals are produced from our body’s cells oxidizing and consequently producing energy which is called metabolism in the process of their normal functioning.

Well-Known Food Sources

The reality is antioxidants are not an antiaging secret after all. They exist universally in our day to day life, in practically all natural food sources that can be found, ranging from numerous types of vegetables to fruits and seafoods to oils.

The reason that antioxidants are sometimes referred to as antiaging secrets is due to the fact that it assists in reducing the aging process, with one of the most notable benefits being that there are minimal side effects compared to other forms of supplements that promise a more youthful looking appearance for your skin.

There are many fruits that contain numerous antioxidants within them, some of which include but are not limited to cherries, melons, prunes, apples, Strawberries, mangoes, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, and nearly all types of plums. Various vegetables that contain antioxidants are artichokes, red ball pepper, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, cantaloupe, beets, spinach as well as others. Fish as well as various other seafoods also contain many traces of antioxidants. Additionally, antioxidants (our antiaging secret) can be found in numerous types of oils, such as hazelnut, almond oil, sunflower oil, and safflower oil.

Antioxidant Vitamins

Essentially, what ever food incorporating any of vitamin B6, vitamin A, vitamin B12, vitamin E, vitamin C, Folic acid, carotene, or Selenium would include antioxidants within them. Because most of the products that we consume on a daily basis have these natural antioxidants within them we can confidently assert that the true antiaging secret is the all-natural foods that we eat on a daily basis.

In addition to assisting in slowing the aging process, antioxidants actually have numerous other benefits as well. They help with the prevention of various diseases such as chronic infections, cataracts, stroke, heart disease, cancer and even Alzheimer’s disease.

    I discovered a site that I think is relevant and important to the topic antioxidants. Berries are the crown jewels of summer, the gems that inspire pies, parfaits, cobblers, ice cream treats, and whipped cream wonders. Best of all, berries deliver super-healthy antioxidants that help fight disease.

    I agree that acai berries are excellent antioxidants that would enrich anyone’s health. Also acai is now available in many forms from juice to capsules.
