Blocking chemical reactions that create free radicals

[Guest guest]

Research shows selenium especially when used in conjunction with

vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene , works to block chemical

reactions that create free radicals in the body (which can damage

DNA) and cause degenerative change in cells, leading to Cancer.

 

Selenium - mushrooms, egg yolks, seafood, poultry and kidney, liver

and muscle meats contain the mineral. Garlic, onions, broccoli ,

asparagus, tomatoes, whole grains, brazil nuts and barley.

 

Vitamin E - vegetable oils such as palm oil, sunflower, canola,

corn, soybean and olive oil. Nuts, sunflower seeds, seabuckthorn,

berries, and wheat germ are also good sources. Other sources of

vitamin E are whole grains, fish, peanut butter, and green leafy

vegetables.

 

ß-carotene - in yellow, orange, and green leafy fruits, and

vegetables. These can be carrots, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, sweet

potatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, orange, and winter squash.
