Introduction

Your body is under attack. Right this minute, your system is being

bombarded, and it is happening 24 hours day, every day. The attack is

making you age faster than you should be aging, and putting you at

risk of a host of nasty diseases and ailments by giving you chronic

inflammation.

So just what exactly is attacking you?

Free Radicals. We're sure you've heard of these. In the last decade,

scientists made a great stride in anti-aging and anti-inflammatory

therapy when they discovered these unstable oxygen molecules. Think

of them as tiny little terrorists that attack molecules with a missing

electron, and cause inflammation in your body.

You see, Free Radicals are really unstable, and are always looking to

take electrons from other molecules in a process called Oxidation. This

includes the ones which make up your tissues, cells and organs.

What's scary is how effective they are at this, as it takes just a second

for over 50 million of them to steal from your DNA and mitochondria,

thus damaging your body in the process.

These renegade cells can cause great damage to your very DNA.

They can alter biochemical compounds, which leads to corroded cell

membranes and even the death of cells. This attack on your body at

such a cellular level plays a major role in cancer, heart or lung disease

and even cataracts. And as we've already mentioned, they also cause

aging.

What scientists have discovered is that there is a direct link between

free radicals, aging, and disease. In fact, they are one of the foremost

causes of death and disease today. So the question is, how do we

protect ourselves from this constant onslaught to our own cells?

The answer is simple: all we have to do is follow an anti-inflammatory

diet filled with antioxidants, which we will be covering in this report.

You're about to learn the secrets to protecting yourself from

inflammation, and in turn premature aging and disease, with just a few

simple tweaks.

Fighting Inflammation With Antioxidants

It is actually fairly easy to increase your life span by 5 to 10 years (or even more!). All

you need to do is change up your diet to include a mix of foods and supplements that

provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. To get you started, we have to

first take a closer look at fruits and vegetables.

Think about a plate filled with fresh fruit and vegetables. What is the first thing that

comes to mind? More often than not, it is how brilliantly colorful the arrangement will

be. If you like to "eat with your eyes" first (and who doesn't?), it is difficult to top this.

What's interesting is that there is a link between vibrant-colored foods and how

healthy they are. There is actually a scientific reason for this.

The gorgeous array of colors on display in wholesome, natural food comes from a

variety of chemicals inside them called antioxidants, and these are almost

exclusively found in plants. Animal-based foods only have trace amounts that they

got from ingesting fruits and vegetables, after which they were stored in the animal's

tissue.

Living plants are a fantastic example of the beauty of nature. They take energy from

the sun and turn it into life: first into sugar, and then into complex carbohydrates, fats

and protein. This is all done during photosynthesis.

As you can imagine, this requires a lot of energy for the plant to carry out. In order to

do it, the plant needs to exchange electrons between its molecules, as electrons are

the medium of energy transfer. Think of this process as something similar to what

happens in a nuclear reactor.

Electrons rush around within the plant, changing sunlight into energy in a very

delicate process. If these electrons stray from their paths, they could create free

radicals. This is akin to a reactor leaking radioactive material, and can cause havoc

to the surroundings, which is the inside of the plant in this case. However, the plant

has ways of preventing this from happening.

Essentially, the plant puts up a protective shield of antioxidants to soak up these

reactive substances. This shield intercepts and scavenges stray electrons to prevent

a bad reaction from occurring. Antioxidants contribute to the color of fruits and

vegetables because this absorption results in their coloration.

An example of colored antioxidants would be carotenoids, which have hundreds of

variations. They have a wide range of colors, from yellow beta carotene (in squash)

to the red of lycopene (in tomatoes). Others are colorless, and these include

ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and vitamin E, which protect the plant from wayward

electrons in other parts.

So why is this relevant to us? Well, we actually produce low levels of free radicals

throughout our lives. Things as simple as being exposed to the sun, or the pollution

in the air, or even a bad diet creates free radical damage to our bodies. This damage

can be quite nasty, including our tissue turning rigid and stiff, premature aging, or

even cancer, emphysema, arthritis, and many other ailments.

The important thing is that, unlike plants, our bodies do not naturally build shields to

protect against this damage. This is due to the fact that we don't actually carry out

photosynthesis, which is essential to produce antioxidants. But all is not lost, since

the antioxidants that work in plants, work in us as well.

This really is a great example of the harmony of nature. The plants make the shields,

which in turn makes them look more appetizing, making animals attracted to the

plants so that we can eat them. By eating them, we are using their shields to help

protect ourselves from the damage done by free radicals.

In a study done in China, scientists assessed the

status of antioxidants by recording the intakes of

vitamin C and beta-carotene, and then measuring

the levels of them in the blood. Interestingly,

vitamin C proved to be the most useful.

One thing that was noted was the connection between low levels of vitamin C and

cancer. Having too little puts you at greater risk of esophageal cancer, leukemia and

cancers of the nasopharynx, breast, stomach, liver, rectum, colon and lungs. This

study led to further investigation of the links between the two.

It was discovered that cases of cancer were five to eight times higher among people

who ate the least fruit. It was the same with coronary heart disease, hypertensive

heart disease and strokes, those who were deficient in vitamin C were more likely to

get them.

From these studies, it was concluded that something as simple as vitamin C had a

powerful protective effect against all kinds of nasty ailments. Blood levels of alpha

and beta-carotene (a vitamin precursor) and alpha and gamma tocopherol (vitamin

E), which are the other measures of antioxidants, proved to be poor indicators of

their effects because they are transported by lipoprotein, which also carries bad

cholesterol.

This meant that any time researchers tried to measure these antioxidants, they were

also measuring unhealthy biomarkers, making the results useless. So, in essence,

our ability to measure the known benefits of carotenoids and the tocopherols is

compromised. We do know that the chances of

stomach cancer are higher when the blood levels of

beta-carotene are low.

This is not to say that cancer is a direct effect of low

levels of vitamin C, beta-carotene and dietary fiber.

One can't lead an unhealthy lifestyle and expect

supplements to make up for it. Being healthy requires

the ingestion of whole foods which contain all the

nutrients vital to us every day. This means that it is

advisable to eat as many whole fruits, vegetables and

whole grains as you can in order to load yourself up on

antioxidants and fight inflammation.

Not Just Fruit And Veg

In recent years, there have been a number of breakthroughs in overcoming disease

that can all be attributed to the Hydration Movement. Yes, it is being discovered that

water can help with a host of medical issues.

The healing effects of water have been studied for decades, with researchers

studying waters from regions said to have healing properties, such as Hunza in

Pakistan and Villacabamba in Ecuador. For years it has been known that people

living in regions like these live long, healthy and active lives, with many surviving

past 100 years of age.

After many years of study, one scientist named Dr. Patrick Flanagan discovered that

while the diets in these regions varied greatly, almost everyone drank water that had

melted off frozen glaciers. This water, which is sometimes called "glacial milk", is

very different from the water drank by the rest of the world.

For instance, the surface tension on glacial milk is a lot lower than that of the water

you get from your taps. This allows it to be quickly absorbed into the body, meaning

that you are hydrated and take in nutrients a lot quicker. It also means that the water

can remove harmful toxins from your body a lot quicker.

Glacial milk has been found to have properties such as viscosity, heat, and energy

potential. Perhaps most importantly though, it has been found to have vast quantities

of negatively charged hydrogen ions, which are highly beneficial to our bodies.

You see, hydrogen is one of the elements that is behind the development of life on

Earth. It is provided by the sun's rays, and we cannot live without it. Although most

scientists will say that we are carbon-based life forms, this is not technically true.

Human beings are actually Silica-based and Hydrogen-based, just like the rest of life

on this planet.

Plants have the ability to store negatively-charged hydrogen ions when they

photosynthesize. When we eat unprocessed plants, our body's not only make use of

their nutrients, but also of the electrical charge of the hydrogen ions. This is

important, because your body burns hydrogen and oxygen for energy.

Hydrogen is one of the smallest known elements in the universe, and is the key to

life, death and aging. All living things need it to survive, and without it, there could be

no life on Earth. Thanks to Dr. Flanagan, it is now widely believed that the energy

potential of plants and water is determined by the amount of hydrogen ions present

in them. Thus, negatively-charged hydrogen ions can determine the overall health of

every living cell in your body.

All of us need to breathe to get oxygen, and we get hydrogen ions from eating and

drinking. Without either of these, we will die. Both of them are needed to generate

the energy we commonly refer to as life. And the best source of hydrogen ions are

fresh uncooked plants, fruits, vegetables, and water.

Due to the mass food production that is rampant these days, mineral deficient soil,

pesticides, chemical fertilizers, over-processed foods, the addition of chemical

preservatives, and drinking over-chlorinated and over-fluoridated water, many of us

just are not getting the hydrogen ions we need for our health. And when we don't get

enough, cell damage occurs and puts us at risk of various diseases.

Chemicals in the body can become positively charged if they lose an electron. This

turns them into the dreaded free radicals. These then roam freely around the body,

stealing more electrons and causing havoc, resulting in damaged cellular DNA. This

is the root cause of aging, not the passage of time. Aging is actually the evidence of

the damage done to the body's cells by oxidation, caused by a lack of hydrogen ions.

We are all being attacked by free radicals for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Various substances are just adding to the damage as well, including pollution,

chemicals, fumes, toxins, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, meat, cooked food, and other

poisonous materials. All this damage is equivalent to the amount that you have aged

and the amount of inflammation you have.

Silica-hydride hydrogen ions have been proven to be the most powerful of

antioxidants, beating out the previously known ones such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C,

Green Tea Extract and Grape Seed. None of what we knew previously is as good.

One of the most important and useful things about silica hydride, is that at no point

does it turn into a free radical in the body. It actually helps neutralize harmful free

radicals by donating its electrons to them. Once it is negatively charged, it turns into

a benign gas or liquid.

The reason this is so powerful is that it affects the "zeta potential" of blood cells,

which refers to the electric charge that exists in a hydrated particle and its

surroundings, as well as how far apart cells are. This is an important indicator, as it

can be used to predict and even control the stability of colloidal suspensions. The

greater the zeta potential, the more space between cells and the more stable the

charged particles.

This is why increased zeta potential has been linked to a host of health benefits.

Since a greater potential means more surface area for cells, meaning that it is easier

for them to get rid of toxins, viral matter, fungi, and bacteria. It also allows water to

enter the cells a lot easier, which, as we know, is one of the most vital elements to

our overall health. It helps fight inflammation and all the problems that that brings

with it too.

Several studies have been conducted on this. Scientists looked at blood cells with

low zeta potential and noticed that all the cells were clustered together, so that they

trapped waste material and toxins between them. They theorized that this was a

result of dehydration from caffeine, alcohol, meat, cooked food, pollutants, and

stress.

The test subject was then given 500mg of silica hydride mixed with 8oz of water.

Twenty minutes later, their blood was looked at again. This time, they showed high

zeta potential, and looked pristine. It was as if the patient's blood had been cleansed

of all toxins.

Silica hydride can also increase the body's total water in just a couple of weeks.

Studies have shown that a large percentage of the population are dehydrated due to

today's frantic and free radical-filled lifestyle. Dehydration is a dangerous thing, and

can lead to all kinds of nasty things. It has also shown to contribute to natural pain

relief, including relief from headaches, sore muscles, and inflammation of the joints.

Antioxidants That Fight Inflammation

Before we give you the antioxidant-rich foods that will help you fight inflammation

and shield yourself from free radicals, let's have a quick recap.

What Are Antioxidants?

They are the things that prevent free radical damage to the cells in our body.

Controlling the free radicals inside us give us the chance at better health, and can

even mean the difference between life and death. Most importantly, they fight

chronic inflammation, which is the root cause of most vicious diseases.

Why Are Antioxidants Important?

They are a key component in maintaining our health and longevity. It helps keep age

at bay, protect you against cancer, prevent and reverse heart disease, and fight

inflammation. However, they don't do this overnight. You have to incorporate them

into you daily lives as much as possible, and keep doing it if you want to fight the

onslaught of free radicals.

How Do We Get Them?

We can obtain them from raw foods and pure water sources. At the same time, we

should avoid things like processed foods, sugar, alcohol, smoking, meat, cooked

food, pollution, stress, and pesticides as much as possible if we wish to avoid free

radical damage.

So now that we're all up to speed, let's have a look at the antioxidants that you need

in your diet to successfully fend off the daily attack of free radicals and prevent

chronic inflammation. Before you take the supplements we're suggesting, always

make sure to check with your doctor to get their okay. Remember that keeping

yourself safe is always the number one priority.

Powerful Antioxidants

ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant that has

the benefit of being both water and fat soluble. This means that

this can help to rejuvenate many different tissues in the body

more easily. It is regarded as a super antioxidant, and can assist

others to fight free radicals, and even recharge itself afterwards.

Studies have shown that ALA can increase antioxidant activity

by 300%, and increase the levels of others as well, such as

glutathione, and vitamins C and E. Foods with ALA include

spinach, broccoli, tomatoes and green peas.

N-ACETYL CYSTEINE (NAC) is an amino acid with two

vital purposes. First, it is readily metabolized into

INTRACELLULAR GLUTATHIONE, another natural super

antioxidant. And second, it can detoxify chemicals and heavy

metals into benign compounds, thus making it easier for our

bodies to dispose of them.

Trials of NAC have shown that it can aid with symptoms of

bronchitis, break up mucus, improve smoker's cough, and lung

fibrosis. It can also help prevent colon cancer and heart disease.

NAC can be found in various supplements.

SELENIUM is a trace mineral that is vital to tissue growth and

thyroid function. Having levels that are too low have been linked

to high rates of cancer. Having enough of it in your body can

help fight prostate, colon and lung cancer. Foods that contain

selenium include nuts, grains and many types of fish, such as

tuna and cod.

L-CARNOSINE is another one of those antioxidants that has

incredibly powerful properties. It has been found to rejuvenate

senile cells, assist in healing, and is very good at fighting

inflammation. Not only that, but it has shown promise in fighting

epilepsy, autism, cardiac myopathy, and hypertension. L-

Carnosine is available in supplement form, protein rich meat like

poultry, as well as milk, eggs and cheese.

GABA is an amino acid that essentially functions as a

neurotransmitter in the brain. It is essential to the hypothalamus

and pituitary gland, both of which helps regulate important

hormones in the body, such as the human growth hormone. It

also has been shown to affect and improve vision, hearing,

memory, and cognitive skills. GABA is available in supplement

form.

GINKGO BILOBA is known in some circles as the "Brain

Saver". It is a powerful antioxidant that increases blood flow and

reduces inflammation. It has also shown promise in treating

Alzheimer's and dementia by improving memory and mental

sharpness. Ginkgo Biloba is available in supplement form.

BILBERRY contains a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanins,

which are famous for improving night vision. It also helps to

strengthen the capillaries, thus reducing bruising and promoting

healing.

CHOLINE is an nutrient that is essential to the body, and is

actually manufactured by it. However, the body can't produce

adequate amounts, so it is wise to supplement it into your diet.

It is important for brain development and mental function, as well

as promote energy, delay fatigue, liver function, cardiovascular

health, and cancer prevention. Choline is found in especially

high quantities in eggs and most whole foods.

ACETYL L–CARNITINE (ALC) is yet another amino acid. It is

great at targeting and destroying free radicals inside your cells.

Studies have shown that it can reduce heart muscle damage,

angina, and cardiac arrhythmia.

It helps the mind too, as it is closely associated with improved

memory, attention span, vitality and protection from senility and

Alzheimer's disease. Good sources of Acetyl-L-Carnitine are

milk, cheese and chicken.

MELATONIN has the unique ability to protect the brain from a

particularly nasty free radical called the "Hydroxyl Radical". It is

also especially good at preventing the oxidative damage that

causes senility, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease,

seizures, strokes, and brain damage in general.

Since no other antioxidant can protect from neurological

diseases like this one can, and production decreases with age, it

is advisable to supplement with melatonin. It is available in

supplement form.

GREEN TEA has an active antioxidant called catechin, which is

one of the most powerful anti-aging substances around. Studies

conducted show that this compound is able to prevent damage

to cells, reduce tumors and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

CLOVE OIL is considered to be one of the strongest known

natural antioxidants. It is equivalent to 6 pounds of carrots, or 3

quarts of carrot juice, 3 pounds of beets, or 1 pint of beet juice, 4

cups of raspberries or 3 cups of blueberries.

It has been shown to inhibit 84% of the number of tumors

caused by cancer. That is how powerful it is. But caution should

be exercised with this, since raw clove oil is can be harmful if it

is ingested. Look to buy it from a reputable supplement

company.

THYME is actually second only to clove oil in terms of power. It

has been shown that orally ingesting thyme supplements was

able to increase the antioxidant count in the brain, and protect

the vital organs like the liver, brain, kidney and heart.

Conclusion

So by now we're sure you see the dangers posed by free radicals. They're

responsible for so many ailments that there just isn't enough space to list them all.

The importance of protecting yourself against them, and inflammation as well, cannot

be understated.

In the previous chapters, we have given you all the tools you need to protect yourself

against free radicals and chronic inflammation. Just always remember that

antioxidants are key to good health, and that you need to incorporate as much of

them into your diet as possible.

With just a few dietary tweaks, you can protect yourself from a host of nasty and

deadly diseases, including cancer and heart disease. We have given you the

knowledge, now all you have to do is apply it to your daily life to live longer, healthier

and inflammation-free.
