Anti-aging

Aging is the process resulting from the damage of the molecules, cells, tissues and organs of our body.
The lack of cellular regeneration, which progresses with age the years, resulting in the loss of elasticity of the skin and tissues, in bone fragility, slowing the healing of wounds, decrease in vision and hearing.
With aging there is also a variation in the metabolism of glucose, lipids, and hormone, to a stiffening of blood vessels and a lowering of immune defenses. Also decreases the production of collagen, elastin and other substances responsible for the elasticity of skin and tissue.

Among the most responsible of us are free radicals. They are formed (in part) in cells in the course during the oxidation (ie during the process of transformation of oxygen into energy). In particular, free radicals are produced by white blood cells, as against infectious agents and allergies, from red cells, and vascular tissues.
But the formation of free radicals can also be induced by exogenous factors such as pollution, ultraviolet rays, smoking, stress, alcohol, diet too rich in protein and animal fats, some drugs (such as cortisone-based), some organic disorders (diseases cardiovascular disease, arthritis, inflammation, etc..), and even from intense physical activity, as it causes an increase in reactions that use oxygen.

From a biochemical, free radicals are unstable molecules because they have only one electron instead of two. Free radicals must strike a balance, taking ownership of electronics with which the molecules are in contact, thus making them unstable and thus triggering a chain reaction.
The action of free radicals can cause not only the premature aging of cells (and thus the loss of elasticity of the tissue and the formation of skin wrinkles), but also diseases and disorders such as dermatitis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cataracts, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, etc..

Antioxidants are involved in restoring the balance free radicals, supplying the missing electron. The body naturally produces a certain amount of antioxidant agents, but are insufficient if the amount of free radicals produced is higher than physiological, ie when there are external factors which are increasing their training and encouraging what is called oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress leads to aging and tissue damage of membranes and cellular functions, and can even lead to an alteration of DNA, leading to carcinogenic effects.

Under these conditions, are necessary additions with antioxidants.

The main antioxidants are:
Vitamins C and E, as sinergisticamente protect from the UVA and UVB rays, provitamin A, which promotes nutrition and resistance of the mucous membranes and skin, supports the growth of new cells and resistance to infection, prevents oxidation Vitamin C
Polyphenols: polyphenols are naturally occurring pigments in plants (such as cabbage, carrots, spinach, apricots, apples, tea leaves, etc..) Carrying out various activities including protective value of low-density lipoprotein, anti-inflammatory, anti-, and Antiviral

Minerals: selenium, which helps strengthen the immune system, protects the skin and hair, prevents prossidazione lipid cell membranes, and copper, which helps the development of bone and the nervous system, maintains collagen and elastin together, supports the production of melanin; zinc, which is part of the bones and teeth, and functions involved in hormonal and nervous system, helps tissue growth and repair of damage to them

Glutanione: protein produced in the liver that, along with selenium, is involved in training of enzima glutanione peroxidase. This enzyme plays in the cell membrane antioxidant action by preventing free radicals to bind to the fibrous proteins, thereby helping to maintain the elasticity of collagen.

Coenzyme Q10: an antioxidant plays.

Melatonin: regulates cycles of sleep-wake, it protects cell DNA from free radicals and stimulates the immune system

Herbs: Samambaia, cat's claw, sarsaparilla, suma, yerba mate, andiroba (topical), annatto
