Detroit Antioxidants And Weight Loss

Posted on February 12, 2015 by Dr. Carol Ann Fischer

As you listen to your favorite Detroit radio station, you will hear advertisements praising the virtues of a newly discovered foreign fruit that is rich in antioxidants. You also see similar ads on the side of big Bloomfield HIlls busses. Why all the hype about antioxidants?

For Detroit folks that are unfamiliar with antioxidants: these chemicals break down or neutralize free radicals. A free radical is an unstable atom or molecule that affects cell membranes. Free radicals are produced by normal biological processes. Dr. Denham Harmon proposed in 1956 that free radicals underlie the aging process.

Not only are free radicals contributing to my wrinkles but they may make me fat!

According to Zane Andrews, PhD, a neuro-endocrinologist at Monash University. Andrews believes these molecules damage the cells that tell us we are full. As time passes these satiation sensors become weaker and our appetites become stronger.

One of the best ways to combat free radicals in Michigan is to eat a healthy diet rich in antioxidants. The Mayo Clinic suggests these antioxidant-rich foods readily available in Bloomfield HIlls grocery stores and Detroit farmer’s markets:

• Carrots, apricots and other yellow and orange fruits and vegetables
• Blueberries
• Spinach and other green leafy vegetables
• Tomatoes
• Beans, peas and lentils
• Fish, especially salmon
• Nuts

Another excellent way Detroit folks can fight free radicals is by drinking alkaline water filtered and ionized by the Kangen water® machine.
