The ANTIOXIDANT Miracle

Since all the network antioxidants can be found in food, you may wonder why I recommend that you also take supplements. Eating an antioxidant-rich diet is an important part of the Packer Plan, but it is virtually impossible to get the optimal amount of antioxidants through food alone.

For example, the Packer Plan recommends taking 5001.U. of vitamin E daily. In order to get 500 I.U. of vitamin E from food alone, you would have to eat more than 100 pounds of broiled liver or 125 tablespoons of peanut oil—or you could take a vitamin E supplement, as I advise.

The Antioxidant Miracle can change and extend your life. More than 70 percent of Americans will die prematurely from diseases caused by or compounded by deficiencies of the antioxidant network thanks to the antioxidant advantage, these conditions can be prevented, trolled, and in some cases even cured.

People who take even one antioxidant supplement daily can significantly reduce their risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Can you imagine the benefits that result from supplementing the entire antioxidant network?

In The Antioxidant Miracle, I will be showing you how to do that, and explaining why the benefits will astonish you. As we move into the new millennium, the Antioxidant Miracle makes it possible for each of us to have greater control over our health, and ultimately our destiny, than we ever had before. We now have the power to prevent and perhaps even eradicate many of the degenerative diseases that were once considered an inevitable part of aging. This is a true miracle.

By controlling free radicals, antioxidants can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence how fast and how well we age. "There is overwhelming scientific evidence demonstrating that those of us who eat a diet rich in antioxidants and take antioxidant supplements will live longer, healthier lives.

Here's an example of how network antioxidants work together. When vitamin E disarms a free radical, it becomes a weak free radical itself. But unlike bad free radicals, the vitamin E radical can be recycled, or turned back into an antioxidant, by vitamin C or Coenzyme Q10. These network antioxidants will donate electrons to vitamin E, bringing it back to its antioxidant state. The same scenario occurs when vitamin C or glutathione defuses a free radical and becomes a weak free radical in the process. These antioxidants can be recycled back to their antioxidant form by lipoic acid or vitamin C.

The primary job of the antioxidant network is to prevent antioxidants from being lost through oxidation. As one network antioxidant saves the other, the cycle continues, ensuring that the body will maintain the right antioxidant balance.
