Health Tip of the Day!

Hello Readers,

I wanted to share with you a old fashion health and some might say beauty tip also. It is Pomegranate juice, they are richly high in antioxidants, and the great thing about them is they are in season and you can pick one up at your local grocery store.

Well you might be thinking what are antioxidants or how does it benefit my health, well! Have you ever seen the bottom-feeder fish in a fish-tank, sucking up all the gunk and grime that is toxic for the rest of the fish? Think of antioxidants as molecular-sized, “free radical scavengers” in the fish-tank of your body.

Once an antioxidant finds its way into the body, mostly through the foods we eat, it slows down, or even prevents, the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidative damage plays a huge role in many of our modern-day diseases, such as muscle and tissue degeneration, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, as well as many other health problems.

Antioxidants stop this cellular chain reaction of oxidation by neutralizing the free radicals. So next time you are in your local grocery store or even a produce market pick up a pomegranate.
