46 Different Anti-oxidant Compounds

Stress and tension have become a part of many people’s lives. The pressure of modern life can greatly contribute to the development of many Western diseases. Diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases often have at their foundation a stressful lifestyle. The emotional toll of our competitive world can exacerbate the breakdown of our physical bodies.

Stress is now widely understood by medical researchers to generate the production of free radicals in the body. Free radicals constantly “attack” other cells in the body, trying  to steal the extra electron they require from normal healthy cells. The increase in the rate of this oxidative process contributes to the ageing of the body and the creation for the right conditions in which disease can flourish.

Helping the body to deal with stress

Anti-oxidants are elements that provide the body with free atoms it needs to combat the effect of free radicals.  Antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, E and selenium, which are all present in Moringa , will release an electron to a free radical and bind it, transforming it into a relatively harmless molecule fit for excretion

This anti-oxidant ability benefits the human body in two ways; by slowing of the ageing process and by also giving protection against many diseases. The high vitamin A and vitamin C content of Moringa, help to explain the reasons for its potent anti-oxidant properties.
