Who can blame you with the summer we’re having! But be aware that pressurized aircraft cabins cause significant free radical damage which is bad for your health
What Are Free Radicals? Free radicals are rogue cells that were once healthy cells but have effectively become toxins. They then corrupt other cells and are a recognised cause of poor health and particularly linked to cancer
Antioxidants are the antidote to free-radicals: Antioxidants are a group of nutrients that prevent the oxidation (damage) of healthy cells, protect the immune system and help prevent chronic disease. They help “mop up” harmful free radicals by binding to them and removing them from the body
Synthetic antioxidant supplements do not work as effectively as food (foodstate) antioxidants. Our Foodstate Antioxidant formula contains:
- Co-enzyme Q10: Helps us use Vitamin E more effectively and also protects the heart. Over 60% of people with cardiovascular problems are deficient in this enzyme
- Selenium: Also helps prevent cardiovascular problems and is a valuable nutrient for the immune system
- Beta Carotene which is concentrated within the heart and can help reduce cardiovascular problems. Beta carotene is also converted to vitamin A which is helpful to good eyesight
- Vitamin E: Known to act synergistically with other antioxidants to our benefit
- Zinc: Also associated with good eyesight. Zinc deficiency is found with many digestive system ailments as this mineral can inhibit intestinal detrimental micro-organisms. The immune system requires adequate zinc, as does healthy skin
- Vitamin C: Helps improve cardiovascular function. Vitamin C may reduce nerve impairment and also helps reduce the signs of aging
If you are flying take 3 before take-off and 3 more after landing
