Dr. Judy Staveley FRIDAYs Health bits: Antioxidants - Some individuals are confused on what antioxidants are and what they do. So I am here to address this: Antioxidants are important factors in the body to protect from damage on the cellular level. Oxidative stress is caused by everyday exposure to free radicals. Where do you find antioxidants? Berries, beans, coffee and other food items (you can google). As you can see, food is our medicine. Its just learning how is works biologically for us! That is why Dr. Staveley is here to teach you these missing links! The brain is more susceptiable to this damage according to some research studies. Antioxidants which neutralize the free radicals have reduced levels in the brain. Studies conducted with primary Parkinson patients neuron cells have shown that antioxidants (PQQ) can significantly reduce oxidation and can have neuroprotetive effects, thur preventing neurons from dying. Cutting edge research!
