Free radicals or oxidants are naturally generated in the body as a reaction to the aggression of external, environmental factors as well as internal factors such as stress and tiredness. A consequence of this aggression is an acceleration of the skin’s aging process. Free radicals have many origins, but they are responsible for much of the breakdown and disease in our systems, speeding up the aging process. It come the antioxidants, buffering us from free radical damage, and in some cases reversing it. Frequent reported benefits include immediate tightening and firming; smoother, softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and rejuvinated, glowing skin.
From the time you are born ‘environmental pollutants’ are continually entering your body. These environmental pollutants mainly in the form of free radicals damage your organs and glands and thus cause them to produce less of the key chemical agents and nutrients that are necessary to nourish your cell nucleus. From the start I decided to rule out things like potions of mysterious-sounding Chinese herbs, anti-aging vitamin formulas and injections of pituitary-gland extract at mountainside Swiss clinics. Maybe they work, maybe they don’t; so little evidence exists either way that the claims are almost impossible to evaluate. Fruits and vegetables that have the deepest purple and blue coloration are the ones that are richest in these antioxidants.
Studies even show that regular physical activity holds promise in reducing the risk of chronic diseases like cancer as well. Exercise reduces stress and enhances sleep. Studies that validate the anti-aging properties of green tea are still highly questionable, since they have only been conducted in test tubes. However, some studies report that EGCG is associated with a lower cancer rate.
Studies show inexpensive, cheaply made anti-aging products can actually cause damage to the skin and made it look older after long-term use than it would have if no anti-aging product were used at all. Ingredients included in the manufacturing of anti-aging cream that can damage the skin include mineral oil, Propylene Glycol, Triethanolamine, fragrances and synthetic colors.
Studies have found that low levels of vitamin E in skin are associated with an increased amount of wrinkling. Apply topically by breaking a liquid vitamin E capsule and applying to the face at night. Studies on omega-3 fatty acids are so impressive that an agency of the National Institutes of Health published a report stating that fish oil can help reduce deaths from heart disease. The FDA itself states supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may actually reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
