Stop the Ravages of Aging… By Eating This Gem
We hear a lot about “free radicals,” the marauders that damage our cells, even our DNA. They trigger many chronic diseases, like high blood pressure, heart disease, dementia, and cancer.
What causes free radicals? Pollution, chemicals, and cigarette smoke, to name a few. They turn oxygen inside our cells into the destructive force known as free radicals.
And there’s only one way we know of (at this point) to stop this damage.
Antioxidants in specific foods can neutralize free radicals – and stop their assault.
That’s where fresh fruits and vegetables come in. They are the source of multiple antioxidants. Eat plenty of them, and you should be fine, right?
Science has discovered it’s not that simple. Our cells don’t easily absorb the antioxidants in many foods, researchers have learned.
In fact, most antioxidants cannot enter a cell’s inner core. That’s the cell’s “power plant” and source of energy. Those mangoes and tomatoes and sweet potatoes you eat won’t help if the nutrients aren’t absorbed. The free radicals will continue their destruction.
That’s been the challenge for scientists – finding the natural foods that are easily absorbed into cells.
But finally, they have honed in on an OIL that shows great promise.
This oil comes from a real “wonder” fruit. People love its flavor. And it’s packed with vital nutrients and antioxidants.
A group of scientists put this fruit oil through laboratory studies. They wanted to see how it interacted with yeast cells – the type used in wine and beer production.
Why yeast?  Well, these cells are easier to study, compared to human and animal cells. But at the same time they provide the information researchers need.  Yeast cells are very resistant to free radicals due to the fat that forms with yeast. This same kind of fat can be found in this oil – and in this fruit.
The studies’ findings were very exciting…
