Green tea has been a prized staple of Chinese and other Asian diets for thousands of years. It is considered an antigen (immune system enhancer) and adaptogen, which means it can adapt itself in many different ways to whatever your body needs, providing balance and overall good health.
Of all the supplements that have been scientifically studied, green tea has proven to be one of the most potent antioxidants ever discovered. This is surely one of the greatest anti-aging supplements. As such, it will help fight and prevent many diseases.
For example, green tea has been shown to fight cancer and heart disease, lower cholesterol, burn fat, and help prevent stroke and dementia.
Green Tea Antioxidants
The antioxidants in green tea are called catechins and polyphenols, which scavenge free radicals (slowing the aging and disease process) and help protect our DNA (the building blocks or “code” within each cell of our body), and are known to help prevent and treat not just cancer, but blood clots and atherosclerosis, or hardening and blockage of the arteries due to the buildup of harmful plaque. Cardiovascular disease is one of the major causes of death.

Alpha-lipoic acid is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants manufactured by the human body. It has been called the “universal” antioxidant because it boosts glutathione levels in cells, and is both water and fat soluable. Alpha-lipoic acid is found in every cell of the body, a cofactor in several multi-enzyme complexes where it helps turn glucose into energy.
Alpha-lipoic acid is an essential co-factor in energy metabolism in organisms from microbes to humans. A nutritional coenzyme that participates in the energy metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, with a particular role in blood glucose disposal, alpha-lipoic acid is necessary for the mitochondrial energy production of the cell, which keeps us alive; it can also help reduce the aging process which reduces wrinkles in the skin and inhibits the disease process.
The therapeutic potential of alpha-lipoic acid is just beginning to be explored, but holds great promise. Alpha-lipoic acid can be found in foods such as organ meats, spinach, broccoli, peas, brussel sprouts, and rice bran. The richest natural food source of alpha-lipoic acid is red meat; other sources include, spinach, broccoli, potatoes, yeast (particularly brewer’s yeast), and certain organ meats (such as [...]
Goji, blueberries, strawberries and Noni are all very popular berries, but what if you discovered that there was another berry that may be much more powerful in its health and wellness properties? What if it could help prevent disease – including cancer – improve energy, help you lose weight, aid in digestion and digestive problems, and increase mental concentration?
Acai juice is a increasingly popular diet and nutritional health supplement and has acquired its outstanding reputation because of its healing and astounding nutritional qualities. For example, the ORAC rating of acai berry – which means how much antioxidant power it has – is an astonishing 167, while blueberries are a 44 and apples only a 14, by comparison.
Although limited scientific research has been done because they are natural foods and cannot be patented by pharmaceutical companies, thousands of people have given testimonial to their nutritional powers. As another example, in preleminary scientific studies (in culture, not on humans), acai berry destroyed cancer cells 86% of the time. This will probably prove to have similar benefits in human experiments.
All of these natural fruit berries – goji, noni and acai berry- have a long history of healing and [...]
Melatonin is another of the super hormones, those miracle substances that slow your aging and help you to live more youthful, energetic, disease-free, spiritually inspired and active lives – whatever your age.
But melatonin’s story gets better. Because of all the super anti-aging products flooding onto the market do the explosion of the information age, it can all be very confusing. “What do I take?” “Which supplements are the best?” Good questions.
Anti-aging and Longevity
In fact, Melatonin is one of the only substances ever discovered that significantly extends the lifespan of laboratory animals. Let’s be very clear about this. There are many supplements that can make you look and feel younger – give you more youthful energy – but only a few have been shown to extend actual lifespan by a significant amount.
Melatonin is one of those super hormones that can actually help you to live longer.
In scientific tests, the average lifespan of animals extended about 30%. I have read figures of between 20% and 50%, so 30% is a relatively safe average. That means instead of dying at 70, you greatly increase the probability that you will live until you are 100 if [...]
