About Antioxidants
We are sure that you or someone you know has heard that keeping antioxidants in your diet is beneficial for your health and weight loss. Dinosaurs over 50 to 200 million years ago had antioxidants in the plants they ate on a daily basis. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals that cause oxidative stress, Which is said to slow down the aging process and keep you feeling vibrant.
Scientist Denham Harmon projected that aging was the effect of delinquent molecules named free radicals. He described it as; free radicals are molecules that have one electron absent, usually they have two electrons. To fulfill themselves, these unstable molecules take a spare electron from another nearby molecule, which generates a additional free radical, which takes an electron from one of its neighbors and keeps going, and becomes a domino effect. In other words antioxidants are enzymes. Proteins, phytochemicals, phytonutrients, and vitamins that are known to preserve and restore the cell and also protect it from damage.
Antioxidants operate in one or two ways, either by hesitating the chain reaction of free radicals or by avoiding their formation to begin with. Antioxidants are said to play a huge role in preventing the development of chronic disease such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, cataracts, arthritis, and diabetes. In the 1920s, Doctor Max Gerson successfully treated thousands of patients using a plant based diet, full of antioxidants, that cured various cancers and many other diseases,the Gerson therapy is still being used to this day. Whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains are more effective in treating diseases than any supplements or extracts.
Here is a list of foods that contain antioxidants:
- Fruits ( cherries, raspberries, blueberries,strawberries, noni, goji, acai, pomegranates, oranges, pineapple, raisins, currants, prunes, apples, kiwi,peaches, grapes, mangosteen etc.)
- Vegetables (spinach,carrots,broccoli,cabbage,artichokes,avocados,potatoes,pumpkin,collard greens,kale,tomatoes,squash)

 I have come to realize the fact that in today's society people would rather live with a lie than face the truth. Even if the truth could save their life... We have all heard the saying; "The truth shall set you free." I tend to live my life by this saying and I would not be here if that saying had no value. We tend to idolize legends like Bob Marley, J.F.K. and Martin Luther king, because they fought for peace, love and what was morally right. We have to ask our selves, "are we living our lives in truth and fighting for what’s right, or are we just existing like mindless drones blind to reality and the deeper issues that mankind faces? My main concern in life is the food industry. Our food is our fuel, and we have given up our right as consumers to know how the food is being made and what is included in the ingredients. Now a days food that people eat on a daily basis is equivalent to slow poisoning with no nutrition. This leads to diseases and illnesses that we are lead to believe is hereditary, the truth is if we ate the right way our country would have less sickness and death linked to; cancer, diabetes, strokes, high blood pressure, autism, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, arthritis, liver disease, heart disease, kidney failure, ulcers, colon cancer.. the list goes on and on... After being diagnosed with an illness we are prescribed a drug. Usually we just take it without doing our own research on the drug and how it affects us in a positive and/or negative way. We also disregard the fact that food can be our medicine and continue to eat the same toxic food that caused us to get sick in the first place. We have to take responsibility for our body mind and soul. See I know all this from experience, which is the best teacher. No amount of training or school can teach you the things you learn from experience. The truth is I have learned that ingredients like; High fructose corn syrup, Hydrogenated oils. Mono-sodium Glutamate Abbreviated: MSG, Synthetic food dyes (BHA, BHT, Red #40, Blue #2, Yellow #5 and 6), Hydrolyzed vegetable Protein, Trans-fat, Aspartame, Caffeine, Sulfates, Potassium Bromate, formaldehyde, polyurethane… Again, the list goes on and on... Cause death and disease on a daily basis. Here is some more truth. I was born with Sickle cell, its a extremely painful and debilitating illness. Most doctors lied and told me I had to take over ten prescriptions a day and even though they weren't making me any healthier, they said I would just have to deal with having no life and live with the pain. They made me feel like I was living off borrowed time because they said I would be dead at 14. I hear of sickle cell deaths very frequently, I am now positive that it’s not always sickle cell that causes deaths but the way we decide to eat and the drugs we are mislead to take. I have found that with organic plant based nutrition and holistic/herbal medicine my health has exceeded my expectations in the most positive way. The real truth is if I can do it so can you. Do you know some one who is sick? And tired of being told they have to deal with it until death? Well I was once that person. I took it upon my self to create a healthy life for my self. I was ready to change even though most of what I was taught growing up was wrong. We have to make the choice and decide to help ourselves, teach ourselves, and love ourselves enough to make a positive change regardless of what we are being told. Remember, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! The ultimate truth is that sometimes you have to unlearn what you were taught. The journey to enlightenment is one of great consciousness and a strong desire for truth. If you or someone you know needs to be enlightened share this article with them. You could be saving a life or two or more. Links that add truth this article: How meat is produced
