Antioxidants such as resveratrol are nature's way to fight illness and disease, Certain plants contain phytonutrients that are compatible with our own body's system to help keep us healthy. So far scientists have cataloged over nine hundred phytonutrients ( phytochemicals & resveratol ),with these discoveries (and more to come), scientists believe the face of health care is changing, hopefully forever. There has been a whole host of discoveries made into the properties of these phytonutrients, resveratol the anti-aging power of blueberries, the joint pain relieving properties of cherries and a whole host of powerful properties in pomegranates are just a few examples.
Containing many different antioxidants, blueberries also have one of the lowest sugar contents of the fruits tested. Currently the most efficient and pleasurable way to get the benefits of these fruits is by drinking their juice,these frits have been shown to benefit the immune system and help improve the circulation. The antioxidants such as resveratrol are also efficient at fighting disease and dealing with infection. Even the humble apple is not immune with properties to help ward of heart problems.
Phytochemicals which can be an aid to our health are even contained in citrus fruits. Tart cherries for instance have a number of properties which work together to help people who have arthritis, gout and fibromyalgia. Most of us have already heard about the benefits that certain minerals and vitamins like B, c and E provide which have now become widely used in products. Another group of antioxidants such as resveratrol called Phytoalexins (resveratrol) found in many berries can prevent infection and have anti-viral properties.
Some of the most common aging conditions including Alzheimer's disease, strokes, high blood pressure, and heart attack can all be helped by these compounds. Others found in tomatoes make this one super-food in the prevention of heart disease. Using concentrated tomato in the form of puree, sauce and juice is an even more efficient way of increasing intake of this fruit. in fact the most important discovered to date! We are told to eat more fruit and now there is a very good scientific reason to do this.
