How slow the aging
Young people often act as if aging does not affect them. Therefore, they do nothing to counter it. This is a serious mistake.
The middle-aged people are beginning to realize that aging could ultimately affect them. They do however take no action to delay it. In many cases, they give the impression of waiting for the problem arises. It seems that the situation is not dramatic. Again, this is a serious mistake to do so.
Only when some people are affected by the first signs of aging, so they open their eyes and realize they should do something to limit the damage. This belated recognition remains desirable as it is still possible to take many actions to limit and even slow aging.
The aim of this paper is to examine the issue of dietary supplements in the aspect antiaging. It is, in other words, to ask what are the supplements that can effectively counter the aging process and can stay young, despite the fact that we take on the age.
The Beta Carotene
The BETA CAROTENE belongs to the carotenoid family. It is a pigment found in plants with orange pulp. Carrots, apricots, peaches, cantaloupe, mango, pumpkin and sweet potato contain in good quantities. There are also beta carotene in most green vegetables. In the case of these vegetables, the orange pigment is hidden by the green pigment chlorophyll.
The BETA CAROTENE has two main roles in the body. It may first be converted to vitamin A in the body, according to the needs of that vitamin The BETA CAROTENE never risks producing too much of this vitamin. Taking it as a supplement, there is no fear of reaching a hypervitaminosis A.
The BETA CAROTENE also acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. It allows to neutralize free radicals, a major cause of premature aging and degeneration of several tissues of the body. It can take 50,000 IU per day of BETA CAROTENE.
Vitamin E
VITAMIN E is another antioxidant. It is required in significant quantities to neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals. Given the many sources of pollution and their relationship with free radicals, VITAMIN E is needed in much greater than officially recommended.
It is estimated that, in official circles, it takes the body a dozen international units of vitamin E per day. This amount is based on the fact that foods contain some vitamin E and not on the real needs of this vitamin in the body. Therefore VITAMIN E supplements are essential.
A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine showed that men and women taking a daily supplement of vitamin E have a risk of at least 30% lower to be affected by respiratory and cardiovascular problems . The recommended dosage is 400 U.I. per day.
Vitamin C
VITAMIN C is another very important vitamin. Its main role is to ensure the formation of collagen, an important constituent of connective tissue. This vitamin is also useful to better withstand stress, to invigorate the immune system to better defend against infections, to prevent certain types of cancer and to fight against premature aging. On this last point, it is the antioxidant properties of Vitamin C that are involved. It can take 500-1000 mg of Vitamin C per day.
Selenium
The SELENIUM is a trace element involved in the struggle of the body against free radicals. It is part of an antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase. Several studies show that antioxidants play a role in cancer prevention. It seems that this is also the case SELENIUM. South Dakota is found in the soil the higher content SELENIUM. The statistics also show that in this state that the incidence of cancer is lowest. By cons, Ohio, the state where it is least SELENIUM in the soil, the incidence of cancer is much higher. The presence of selenium in the soil gives plants naturally rich in precious trace elements. It may take a dose of 50 mcg per day.
Ginkgo Biloba
As for plants, GINKGO BILOBA is very useful to promote blood circulation in all parts of the body including the brain. This plant is recommended to correct disorders of the nervous system, particularly disorders of memory. We can take this product in the form of blisters.
The Vitamin B Complex
The B vitamins are also involved in various ways in the fight against premature aging. They can be used to protect the cardiovascular system against a high accumulation of homocysteine, a substance harmful to the arteries that can lead to atherosclerosis.
When the body has sufficient amounts of vitamin B6, folic acid and vitamin B12, homocysteine is much reduced and the body has a better protection against cardiovascular disease. Can be found in pharmacies formulas that contain the items listed.
Calcium and Vitamin D
Calcium and vitamin D also plays an important role in the fight against aging. This mineral helps maintain healthy bones, thus ensuring the prevention of osteoporosis. Vitamin D, in turn, allows better utilization of calcium by the body, while promoting the establishment of this mineral in bone.
A good supplement of calcium and magnesium (the latter provides better use of calcium), with vitamin D and zinc (this element is involved in another antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase) is therefore part of a supplement to to fight against premature aging.
The Lecithin
To ensure proper functioning of the nervous system, with a supplement of lecithin safflower oil is needed. Lecithin is a substance essential for the proper functioning of the brain and nerves. It occupies an important place in the formation of these tissues.
