Why Take Antioxidants... ?
In recent years, much publicity has gone to the potential power of antioxidants - and for good reason. These vitamins and minerals bond with oxidants, preventing them from doing damage to the trillions of cells that make up the human body. Oxidants, free moving molecules that are created as byproducts of every process are body performs, such as eating, moving and even breathing, ricochet through a person's bloodstream; when they hit a cell, they cause damage to that cell's DNA. This damage leads to premature cell death, wrinkles (in skin cells) and even cancer. One of the most promising ways to prevent aging and prolong health is by preventing oxidants from doing damage.
Surprising but grape seed extract may be better
for you than the grapes from which it comes. For countless centuries, people from many
different cultures have enjoyed a fine glass of
wine, but only recently have scientists
discovered that it might be good for us, too.
Yes, moderate wine drinking actually has a
number of excellent potential health benefits,
although of course the alcohol is not the part
that does all the good! In fact, one of the surprising advantages of
millions of consumers enjoying the fruits of the
wine industry is that its by-products can be
made into some really useful health supplements. Take grape seeds, for example. Grape seed
extract is known as waste product of the winery
and grape juice industry, because they don’t go
into the finished drinks.
What you may not know is that grape seed
extract contains a vast array of health-giving
ingredients, such as protein, lipids,
carbohydrates and polyphenols (which come mainly
in the form of flavonoids, also known as
bioflavonoids). The term flavonoid is used for a
class of plant chemicals known for their
activity as highly potent antioxidants.
One particular type of phenol found in grape
seed is called procyanidin. It was initially
discovered in 1936 by Professor Jacques
Masquelier, who called it Vitamin P, (although
the name didn’t really catch on, and has since
fallen out of usage).
Procyanidins are thought to protect the
body from premature ageing. Procyanidins bond with collagen, the
most abundant protein in the body and a key
component of skin, gums, bones, teeth, hair and
body tissues. The bonding promotes cell health and skin
elasticity, making it seem more youthful, in a
process that works almost like a natural
face-lift. Procyanidins additionally help
protect the body from sun damage, which can also
cause premature ageing of the skin.
Luckily, you don’t have to drink litres of
wine or grape juice, or eat sacks of grape seeds
to get these helpful chemicals into your body. You can enjoy all the
health-giving properties of grape seed simply by
taking a pill.
