Why do we need ANTIOXIDANTS?

Antioxidants destroy free radicals. Free radicals are rogue oxygen molecules, that have lost an electron. That loss makes them unstable (in chemical terms, reactive), causing them to ‘steal’ neighbouring molecules’ electrons, causing them to operate like terrorists in the body. The damage caused by free radicals is called oxidation. Examples of oxidation are bananas turning brown when left unpeeled or the rusting of iron.

Excess free radicals in the body contribute to the development of oxidative stress, which plays a major role in the development of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.

Free radicals attack healthy cells, leading to dysfunction, mutation and cancer. Free radicals can also disrupt normal cell activities, and damage cell membranes, producing a chain reaction of destruction. Such membrane damage in the cells that line our blood vessels Free radicals are caused by: can lead to hardening • Normal bodily functions • Exercise and thickening of the • Pollution • Cigarette smoke arteries and eventually • Processed foods • Chemicals to heart attacks and • Medication • Stress strokes.

What are ANTIOXIDANTS?

Antioxidants are molecules that help to eradicate free radicals. Some antioxidants are called polyphenols. These are most commonly found in plants and are the type of antioxidants found in Rooibos, specifically a polyphenol called Asphalathin. An antioxidant is an organic molecule that can counteract the damaging effects of free radicals in tissues, or molecules that protect the body from free radical damage. The presence of antioxidants in the body can “mop up” free radicals before they damage essential cells.

ROOIBOS CAN PREVENT CANCER

Studies at the Medical Research Council (MRC)’s PROMEC unit, completed by Dr Janine Marnewick, shows that 6 cups of Rooibos a day can help to prevent cancer. It reduces cancer-associated changes in cells by protecting it against DNA damage, or mutagenesis.

Cancer develops in several steps and mutagenesis is one of the first steps. During mutagenesis the genetic material (or DNA) of a cell is changed because of excessive exposure to mutagens (physical or chemical agents that can change the DNA in the cell, found in cigarette smoke, sunlight, chemical substances, etc). This change in the DNA is known to be a major cause of cancer.

ROOIBOS CAN PROTECT AGAINST HEART DISEASE Dr Marnewick’s studies also shows the potential of 6 cups of Rooibos tea which, if consumed daily, help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation associated with the development of heart disease.

Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, in favour of oxidants. An excess of these oxidants can damage important cellular components such as lipids, proteins and DNA, resulting in the development of several major degenerative diseases.

Safety during pregnancy and breast feeding has not been established, so these women should consult their health practitioner before taking OptiRooibos.

Is Stress Getting to You?

Stress is one of the most impactful modern day ailments that affect people.

Stress leads to secondary health problems and influences our health and wellbeing, but you can counter your stress levels naturally.

Researchers at the Stellenbosch University have found that Rooibos extracts can help us deal with the negative effects of stress. Amanda Swart, senior lecturer and researcher at the Biochemistry Department says “Rooibos extract inhibits the biosynthesis of the stress hormone, cortisol”. She also says “this is good news as the stress we experience on a daily basis leads to abnormally high cortisol levels, which are associated with increased anxiety, high blood pressure, suppressed immunity and diabetes.”

Annique has known for years that Rooibos tea calms and relaxes and now this research underlines the fact that Rooibos has essential health and wellness properties.

Try Annique’s Rooibos tea, suitable for all ages or Annique’s Herbal Teas.

Try, especially Relax Tea with wild Jasmine, for a soothing and relaxing antidote to every day stress. Or, take OptiRooibos with the equivalent of six cups of Rooibos tea per capsule.
