			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have all heard about the benefits of anti-oxidants on fighting free radicals and combating the <a href="http://www.marykay.com/merideecole/whatsnew/default.aspx" target="_blank">effects of aging</a>.  Some of the best resources of getting anti-oxidants are through vegetables such as broccoli.  Did you know the anti-oxidants in broccoli also contain toxins?  However these toxins are a beneficial toxin evolved to dissuade insects and other animals from eating broccoli. In humans they induce a mild, adaptive stress response that increases the anti-oxidants.  If we ate broccoli without toxins, it is not enough to function as an anti-oxidant in the body according to Dr. John Ratey, MD in his book “Spark”.</p>
<p>He goes on to further say that if you add exercise, restrict calories and eat vegetables, the result will be good stress on your body.  This stress challenges cells and causes us to adapt and grow.  Warning here:  This is a delicate balance, if stress goes from mild to chronic (ie: greatly restrict calories-stop eating), the genetic actions can cause atrophy and cells die!</p>
<p>The process of aging lowers our stress threshold, as does self esteem.  We can attack this natural process through aerobic exercise.  Exercise releases many chemicals in the body that stimulates cells, causing the release of positive anti-aging allies.  Additionally, by adding supplements such as <a href="http://www.juiceplus.com/+rc34582" target="_blank">Juice Plus</a>,  we can achieve all of the fruits and vegetables necessary to stimulate our own defense mechanisms to operate a peak efficiency.  Further research has found that the acai plant also provides additional resources of anti-oxidants, which is also found in <a href="http://www.merideeschocolate.com" target="_blank">chocolates</a> which further keeps our skin <a href="http://www.marykay.com/merideecole/skincare/agefighting/default.aspx" target="_blank">young and healthy</a>.</p>
<p>Bottom line; start exercising, eat and/or take necessary fruits and vegetables; mix in  healthy chocolate, treat the outside of your skin and you have put up the best defense against natures aging process that is available.</p>
