Vitamin C for anti-ageing, wound healing, decreasing blood cholesterol and prevention of infections. Assists the body in absorbing iron and Lycopene. High in vitamin C they stimulate the bodies immune system. ANTIOXIDANTS - Term used to describe a number of organic substances such as vitamins A, C & E, the mineral Selenium and 'Carotenoids' - the pigments which colour many fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants are thought to help prevent cancers, heart and stroke problems by assisting in the 'mopping up' and expulsion from the body of substances known as 'free radicals' which can be created by exposure to various environmental pollutants.

Lauren D Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Since my SAH I have found that food is my fuel and I'm quite bonkers now about the quality of the food I eat and find avoiding food with additives in plus good sleep habits critical for my wellbeing. Or it's just getting old. Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I only caught the end but must look and see if it on I-Player etc online. My tastes changed, used to hate Tea, Now love a cuppa. I Find my Energy Levels a lot better when sticking to foods that are natural. E.g Dinners like Granny used to make. Cutting out anything artifical/ preservatives, cutting down on Caffeine etc. Still save a bit for a glass of wine, but grapes are natural. Book I'm finding very helpful is "the diet doctors, Inside and Out." Aine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
