Antioxidants
If we want be forever young?
Antioxidants are very much the rage these days, touted as preventatives and treatments for everything from aging to cancer. Coenzyme Q10 (Co-Q) is a natural antioxidant Co-Q is a vitamin-like substance that is present throughout the body,
especially in the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas. It is needed for cell growth and maintenance. We acquire some of it through food -- especially organ meats, mackerel, peanuts, sardines and soy oil. Our bodies also synthesize it.
Good news: A small study, done just last fall by Clifford Shults, MD, associate professor of neuroscience, University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, showed that Co-Q supplements slowed the progression of Parkinson's disease in early stage patients.
