The Antioxidant
Vitamins
|
The antioxidant vitamins perform many essential tasks within the body.
In recent years, a great deal of research has been done concerning the
abilities of the antioxidant vitamins to prevent certain diseases, ranging
from cancer to heart ailments. Many studies have shown promising results,
and researchers continue their efforts at determining all of the ways
that these powerful antioxidant vitamins protect our health and well
being.
One of the many important tasks that antioxidant vitamins perform is
that of bringing free radicals under control. A free radical is an unstable
molecule, operating within the much larger context of a cell. What makes
it unstable is that it is lacking an electron. Electrons are a part
of the system that enables chemical reactions within the body. Chemical
and electrical actions and reactions are the base of all operations
of the body.
The free radical lacks an electron because it is the result of the splitting
of a structure weakened by either one of the body’s natural metabolizing
processes or by some external contaminant, such as pollution or cigarette
smoke. The free radical attacks other molecules, seeking its missing
part, which leads to its molecule victim becoming a free radical as
well. When enough free radicals accumulate with a cell, the cell can
be damaged, or worse.
Antioxidant vitamins have the power to bring these free radicals under
control. They do this by meeting the free radicals’ most basic needs,
by giving them the electrons they need to be stable. Thus, the antioxidant
vitamins remove the free radicals’ motive for aggression and crime --
their motive to attack other molecules to steal their electrons, thereby
creating still more free radicals -- and bring an end to the free radical
crime wave that threatened the very existence of their world and restore
social order and peace to their world, the cell, and perhaps even to
their universe, the body.
The primary antioxidant vitamins are Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Vitamin
A. They do not become free radical themselves when they give an electron
to the unstable molecule, because they have the special capacity to
remain stable with or without the electron. It is through this interaction
with the free radicals that the antioxidant vitamins are able to assist
in the prevention of damage to tissues and cells that could lead to
disease.
Numerous studies have found that the antioxidant vitamins may offer
protection against a variety of cancers. Other studies have associated
antioxidant vitamins with helping to lower blood pressure. Controlling
free radicals, as the antioxidant vitamins do, is thought to be an important
part of defending the body and the mind against the effects of aging.
In addition to continuous studies concerning antioxidant vitamins potential
in preventing cancers, heart disease, and diabetes related conditions,
researchers are also paying close attention to the possibilities antioxidant
vitamins may hold for Alzheimer's disease.
Dietary supplements offer a safe and convenient means of meeting the
suggested daily intake requirements of these powerful antioxidant vitamins,
provided that the standard dosage recommendations are followed. The
chemical balance that allows the body to operate at peak performance
can be seriously disrupted by taking too much of any supplement. A licensed
nutritionist or your health care provider can best advise you on the
dosage most suitable to your individual dietary needs and health goals.
