Can Antioxidants Really Prolong Life?
The answer to that is a resounding "Yes!". When you take antioxidants, such as Veriuni Advanced Antioxidant, you slow the aging process and thus live longer.What is aging? Oh, sure, we all know we are born, we live, we get old and we die, right? But we are talking more of chronological age than cellular age. Our body cells reproduce at slower and slower rate, and the aging process takes over with cells disintegrating at a faster and faster pace until the body can no longer continue. But why does this happen? Why can't the cells keep going?Prior to the 1950's and really into the 1980's the popular theory was that the cells were controlled solely by the genes, and it was your genetic make-up that determined how long you would live, and that was that - accept it as inevitable. One lone researcher, Dr.

Denhan Harman, published an article way back in 1959 describing his "free radical" theory of aging. It was pooh-poohed and ignored. The gene theory held sway until 1980's and 1990's when more modern researchers began to find other evidence (based on Dr. Harman's theory) that the gene theory was not necessarily the whole truth.The more modern researchers discovered that the "free radical" theory was not far off the mark. As a matter of fact, it was darn close to being flat on the mark.

Enter antioxidants. Before going any further, let's define a couple of words: What are free radicals? Through the process of metabolism molecules are oxidized. In particular, the oxygen molecule, normally two atoms of oxygen, O2, is oxidized into just plain O. This is a free radical. It is chemically very active and unstable and tries to combine with anything nearby.

In the process the free oxygen radical destroys tissue. Another form of the oxygen radical is -OH, the hydroxl radical, also very destructive.Now, antioxidants, which are certain organic substances including some vitamins and minerals, neutralize the destructive free radicals, slowing tissue damage.You see what the researchers found out? If you can slow the body's tissue damage due to free radicals, you can prolong life! But exactly what are these substances and where are they found? To begin with the body produces in a quantity sufficient to keep you healthy. Unfortunately, after age 20 the quantity of produced by the body gradually decreases with age. This is why you need supplements.Dr.
