Easy Shopping

If you are reading this article than you are either already shopping online or are considering online shopping. Whether you are new at it or not, consider this. An increasing number of people are shopping online rather than fighting traffic and crowds at the busy shopping malls. If you look at the studies and surveys on today’s shopping habits, you will find that purchases at malls has dropped by over 10%, while online purchases have increased by over 10%. The prediction is that this trend will continue to increase over time.

So why is this happening? Why are people spending more time at their computers clicking the mouse and less time driving their gas guzzling, air polluting cars to the malls?

What are Free Radicals and Antioxidants?

Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that react with and damage cells throughout the body. Research has shown that they can be responsible for causing cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurological disorders, cataracts, arthritis, aging and many other conditions.

Antioxidants are substances that neutralize the “bad” effects of free radicals. Many researchers believe that by supplementing with extra antioxidants you can dramatically reduce free radical damage or oxidative stress, prevent and delay the onset of chronic degenerative diseases, and possibly extend your lifespan.

More Doctors Choose Antioxidants

More doctors take antioxidants than asprin as a way to prevent heart attacks, according to a study published recently in the American Journal of Cardiology. Out of 181 members of the American College of Cardiology, 44 percent take antioxidents to prevent heart disease while 42 percent take asprin; 28 percent take both daily. Vitamin E is the most commonly used antioxident vitamin among doctors (39%) followed by vitamin C (33%) and beta carotene (19%).

What are Antimutagenics?

Cancer and other chronic diseases are often preceded by certain biological signposts or changes to cellular structures. Often, medical doctors will observe specialized cellular and DNA damage, which can indicate the strong possibility of developing a tumour.

Antimutagenics are specialised substances identified by clinical research, that enable enzymes to bind to these potentially mutagenic compounds, helping to rid the body of them before damage can occur.
