If you're smart, you should not only be focused on your goal
to lose weight but to maximize your weight loss program to its full extent by
getting some health benefits out of it as well, and make them first priority. One of the health benefits you should be aiming for as you
lose weight should be getting a good daily dosage of antioxidants while on your
weight loss plan and even afterward while in maintenance mode. Just a few short
years ago, the average person had never even heard of an antioxidant, let alone
could actually tell you what one was.
Now, antioxidants are one of the biggest buzz words in
health and fitness. Nearly every other product on the market claims to be chucking
full of them. So what are they? REALLY? And what's so darn good about them that
it creates such hoopla? Simply put, antioxidants fight to help eliminate the
body of one of its most dangerous internal enemies---free radicals.
"Free Radical" is the layman's term for an oxygen
atom that has been split in half so that it only has one electron as opposed to
the two that it is supposed to have. These split particles are constantly being
made in the body, and if they are left unchecked, they can cause a myriad of
problems. One such problem is to bump into and damage the internal tissues of
the body's organs and systems.
A second problem is to attach themselves to molecules within
the body and throw of the chemical balance within us, setting off chemical
chain reactions and causing health problems while multiplying more and more new
free radical particles from these reactions. Damage from free radicals has been
proven to contribute to such common and deadly illnesses as atherosclerosis,
cancer, quickening the aging process, and eye cataracts.
There are currently 3 vitamins and 2 minerals that have been
identified to have antioxidant properties:
Vitamins
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Beta carotene
Minerals
- Sulfur
- Selenium
As you embark on your weight loss program, remember that
your goal is not only to lose weight, but to gain optimum health. Weight loss
itself is just an added benefit of being a holistically healthy person.
