Common signs and symptoms of premature aging:

• Reduced skin elasticity
• Gray hair; thinning hair and hair loss
• Frequent illness
• Pain and inflammation
• Joint instability

Nowadays, many of us seem to be aging faster than we ought to, with elusive promises of a “more youthful appearance” as near as that ($250) jar of face cream (or syringe!). Sigh.

Premature aging, as well as many chronic health conditions, is associated with the effects of free-radical damage. Free-radicals are unstable molecules that are byproducts of normal metabolism; they’re also a result of exposure to toxins such as environmental pollution, chemicals in our foods (pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, food colorings), drugs, stress, UV light, inflammation... the list goes on! They cause serious damage to cellular structures, including our DNA and cell membranes.

Antioxidants are what our body uses to combat free-radicals. Some of these we produce internally, whereas others we must obtain from our diet. There are literally thousands of different types of antioxidants: vitamins C and E; minerals such as selenium, zinc, and copper; the amino acid, glutathione; flavonoids such as quercitin, and many other phytonutrients.

Eating a diet that contains a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is the very best way of ensuring that your body is getting the antioxidants it needs.
