The Role of Antioxidants in Good Health And Healthy Living

Article Description:

====================

Everyone has heard about the importance of a balanced diet for

maintaining good health. Similarly, everyone knows that they

should be getting exercise - or at the very least adding more

activity into their days. Getting a good night's sleep is

essential - without it, you'll find that your immune system

starts to slack off a bit and you put yourself at a greater risk

for catching a cold or coming down with the flu. We all know what

we should be doing, but let's be honest: we don't do it...

Everyone has heard about the importance of a balanced diet for

maintaining good health. Similarly, everyone knows that they

should be getting exercise - or at the very least adding more

activity into their days. Getting a good night's sleep is

essential - without it, you'll find that your immune system

starts to slack off a bit and you put yourself at a greater risk

for catching a cold or coming down with the flu.

We all know what we should be doing, but let's be honest: very

few of us eat a balanced diet all of the time. Many of us make

the choice to take the elevator rather than the stairs and we try

to find a parking place that's as close as possible to our

destination rather than taking the opportunity to walk a little

further. We also tend to let stress, work, social gatherings and

more interfere with the amount of sleep that we're able to get

each night.

When we don't go the extra mile to take care of ourselves, and

when our immune systems start to falter because of it, we may not

feel it right away. Soon, sluggishness starts creeping in. This

sluggishness not only slows us down, it also ages us

prematurely.

Fortunately, there's something that we can do in order to

maintain our young living. We can maintain our youth simply by

adding antioxidants to our diet.

What are antioxidants? The simplest answer is that antioxidants

are the vitamins and minerals found in foods that serve to fight

off disease. The more complex answer is that antioxidants like

Vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium, Vitamin A that are found in

fruits and vegetables. By making an effort to add antioxidants to

our diet, we can keep our young living going; we can keep

ourselves healthier longer.

Antioxidants are, in effect, sponges that soak up the free

radicals in our systems. By fighting the free radicals in our

bodies - free radicals that are the result of less healthy foods

that we eat, alcohol that we drink and smoke that we're exposed

to (whether we smoke cigarettes ourselves or are exposed to

second hand smoke from friends, family members who smoke,

neighbors in our apartment buildings or co-workers at the office)

- by adding more fruits and vegetables to our diet and by adding

young living essential oils, we are better able to maintain our

good health and reduce the risk of developing some cancers and

even heart disease and stroke.

Young living oils take the essential oils from lemons and oranges

and combine them with Ningxia wolfberries, juices from

blueberries and pomegranate, along with other nutrient sources.

Those who add antioxidants in this way will find that they:

* have increased energy; that they have regained a sense of

young living that doesn't come from caffeine or other stimulants

that effect you for a short while and then wear off leaving you

to crash even harder, feeling more tired than you had before,

and,

* help you to protect your body from the effects of a weakened

immune system that comes from a lack of adequate self care.

However, increased energy and a sense of better health aren't

the only reasons why young living oils are beneficial to your

body. The other reason is that the antioxidants serve to help

your body to work more effectively. From boosting your immune

function to helping your liver to better filter out toxins, from

improving your cardiovascular function to maintaining the health

of your eyes, you'll find that antioxidants along with you

living oils just help you to feel better.

While you may not always be able to make the time to eat balanced

meals, you may not always be able to make time for a run or for

time at the gym, you'll find that increasing the antioxidants in

your body with young living oils doesn't take much time but

still offers many of the same benefits. You'll also find that,

because the energy rush young living essential oils is all

natural and without stimulants, not only won't you crash out but

also your sleep cycle is less likely to be disrupted.

Are these essential oils the magic bullet to good health? Not

necessarily, but that doesn't mean they aren't the key to young

living.

Cheryll Rice writes about healthy living. Health practitioners

have realized over the years that not everything we put into

our bodies comes out of our bodies, and as a result, our

health is at risk of the toxins that are left behind.
