The Lack of Antioxidants in Our Daily Lives

The Lack of Antioxidants in Our Daily Lives

According to a study from Oregon State University, less than 3% of people actually live a healthy lifestyle. Lack of exercise, unhealthy eating, mental burnout and fatigue, and each of the other stresses of modern life contribute to this unhealthiness. But one of the most rampant causes also happens to be one of the least recognized — oxidative stress. 

The imbalance between manifestation of oxygen system’s and the biological ability to detoxify & repair said imbalances are the root causes of oxidative stress. And whether it’s through pollution, processed foods, or other stressors, one can almost guarantee it appears constantly in their lifestyle. The lack of antioxidants in our daily lives is at the root of this issue, and supplementing our lifestyles with more of these critical nutrients can be a turning point in one’s oxidative health. 

Environmental Deficiencies

The Western diet is incredibly deficient in antioxidants. With a constant consumption that is low in fruits and vegetables but high in sodium and fats, antioxidant rich foods are scarcely found in our day to day lives. Worse, the foods that we can find tend to be expensive & inaccessible –a Fast Food 4 for $4 looks like a much more satisfying meal than the carton of strawberries up to a shocking $4.99. But it's these very inaccessibilities that cause the lack of antioxidants in our diet, and in turn bring the fatigue, pain, and immune deficiencies that come from oxidative stress. 

Our diet doesn’t even begin to account for the oxidative damage done by our environment. Modern pollution, from the air we breathe to the water we drink, completely overwhelms our natural antioxidant defenses. Radiation and exposure to daily toxins again can contribute to this oxidative damage. And, of course, the mental stress of daily life causes our own body to produce hormonal toxins that continue to contribute to our antioxidant deficiencies. It can feel like every part of our modern life seems to work against our body’s oxidative defenses. Which is why antioxidative supplements can be such powerful positive reinforcements for our health. 

The Importance of Supplementation

Antioxidant supplementation helps to bridge the gap between our dietary deficiencies and the body’s requirements. It's supplements like Recosel Plus that bridge this gap, providing the body with Resveratrol, Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoEnzyme Q10, and Selenium, four powerful antioxidants in the fight for oxidative health. Together, these four ingredients can be available to you in a convenient polypill that saves time and money while also fighting against your daily chemical, environmental and physiological stressors. The lack of antioxidants in our lives is a huge problem for the modern population, but with Recosel Plus, it can now become a problem of the past.
