Antioxidants: The Truth

Hello everyone,

I just can't help think how paranoid we all are about our food, our health, our nutrition. This is fear, you know. Fear is never a good thing; and so can we all just calm down!

Here I am writing about antioxidants - again. Why? Because everyone is so worried about their health. I'm here to tell you that worrying about your health will get you one thing: sick. So, stop worrying.

Rather, approach you health, nutrition, and general well being as a matter of fact and expect it.

It really doesn't matter if you consume all the right nutrition, do all the right things for good health if you live in fear of disease and sickness. You must come to understand and know that your body loves to be healthy. You body knows how to be healthy. You body knows how to adjust. Your body is wise and infinitely intelligent. You body asks and it is given, good health.
The only way it does not; is if your mind is living in fear and blocking the reception of all Well Being.

Now, having said that, if you do want to take supplements because you want to love your body even more, or realize that as a practical consideration you could be giving it more nutrients, then read on.

Antioxidants are naturally occurring in all plants as a by products of photosynthesis. It's a - ummm - NATURAL PROCESS. Also, antioxidants and other nutrition are produced in a plant as it grows. The plants that have to "struggle" to survive, as opposed to those that are supported by chemical means, have more nutrition in them, therefore impart more nutrition to us when we consume them. This is why organic foods have more nutrition ounce for ounce than industrially raised foods. They are simply, stronger foods.

Recently a new term has come to the scene - superfoods. It's really a misnomer, but let's work with it. To my mind all foods organically raised are inherently superfoods. In today's vernacular they are usually referring to blueberries or pomegranates or something like that because they have a high antioxidant content. Remember, your body needs lots of other things than just antioxidants. But antioxidants come to the forefront because they have certain "cancer" fighting properties. They deal with free radicals that are associated with certain cancers.

Common sense will tell you that if you simply enjoy a diet of a wide variety of all these foods, you will get all the nourishment you need. Some say that in these times of pollution everywhere, you need more antioxidants. I can't say. I hate to think anyone is taking anything out of fear, rather than for the joy of it.

If you simply want to give your body a lovely treat, and oh by the way, here's a great dose of antioxidants in the mix, then here's the antioxidant that you want to take: Berry Radical by One Group. The first thing that makes it the best choice is that it comes in packets that you can mix anywhere in a bit of warm water, milk, soy milk, juice, whatever. It's portable. Secondly, each packet delivers 7000 ORAC units. Yep. And third, it's certified organic in two countries, the US and Australia. It's shipped in a box with 30 individual packets, so there's not all that weight shipping water in some "juice", plus the waste of all those plastic bottles. You cannot buy a better, more potent, more pure, or more green antioxidant supplement anywhere. Period. It's no contest.

So, if you want to add an antioxidant to your diet, use your common sense. Enjoy it. Do it for the sake of loving your body and drop the fear. And buy the best quality: Berry Radical by One Group. Oh, one more thing, you don't pay any sales tax when you purchase it from Australia.
