Extensive survey, conducted in the U.S., showed that the annual U.S. health care can save around nine billion U.S. dollars in the treatment of these diseases, if the Americans take a daily optimal amounts of vitamins and minerals.
Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to think that food, which is due to modern production and processing extremely impoverished, take the optimal amount of vitamins and minerals.
* More action, more mikroelemenov
* Free radicals
That antioxidants in the diet
* The positive characteristics of antioxidants Most active people is already clear that sporting activities have accelerated the metabolism and therefore an increased need for nutritional substances (carbohydrates, protein, essential fats and water). Much less are those who are aware of that, because of physical activity significantly increased after the so-called essential trace elements, including vitamins, minerals and some other trace elements.
Unfortunately, most people difficult to accept that the sport itself for a successful and healthy living orange and lemon two no means enough. In addition to vitamins and minerals necessary for optimal functioning of the body, is for active people is another very strong reason why it is necessary to take supplements to the diet - free radicals. Increased intake of oxygen, which enters the body during exercise, is a mixed blessing. Not only that makes it possible to achieve a better sports results and promotes the burning of fat, which also leads to the emergence of an extremely dangerous free radicals.
These free radicals as electronic unstable oxygen molecules that have one or more electrons. To ensure a steady-state free radicals must obtain the missing electron. Obtain them from any element, which come into contact in the body. Usually these are the DNA of cell membranes, important enzymes, cholesterol and body composition of the vital protein. Once the individual molecules of these very important elements of the body zgubijo electrons, themselves become unstable and suffer injuries. These injuries of vital assembly body may be, if they occur frequently occur, ending with such a serious chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease and chronic decline in the resistance.
Oranges and lemons are not enough! Escape from such danger is quite simple - enough antioxidants in the diet (I repeat: two orange and lemon does not sufficiently!). Saturday trace elements antioxidants, which protect the body against the influence of free radicals. To make actually very simple.
Free radical electron input, so they become stable and therefore hazardous to the body. In this process the antioxidants themselves become unstable and form free radicals. Therefore, the continuous enjoyment of the utmost importance of antioxidants. Mainly found in fruits and vegetables, but it is in those sources, unfortunately, much too limited to meet the needs of athletes and recreational. Therefore, it is highly advisable to take vitamin-mineral supplements, especially those containing vitamins C, E and A and the mineral selenium.
Antioxidants you will not only protect against these chronic diseases, will accelerate the reconstruction of the organism after intensive exercise, strengthening and growth of muscles and prevent muscle injuries. However, caution: the consumption of excessive amounts of vitamin A can be toxic, and it may also cause loss of bone. All these can be relatively easy to avoid that instead of vitamin A enjoy his prokurzorje in the form of beta-carotenes and other carotenoids.

* Sources Vitamins are organic substances produced by plants and animals; in the body act as a coenzyme. To understand the operation of koencimov, we must first know the importance of enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts of biochemical reactions that take place in the body. These can include, for example, the metabolism and muscle growth. Coenzyme are substances that strengthen the functioning of enzymes and without which they would not operate.
Vitamins are divided into two groups: one soluble in fat, the other in the water. The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Since the body can be stored in the fat of taking envelopes in the liver, are available to us for some time after ingestion. Therefore, the possibility that it was short and small. Their excess consumption can lead to excessive downloading and the health risk.
The water soluble vitamins in the body is zadržujejo only a short time (only a few hours after ingestion) and should be continued daily consumption. Due to the presence of short-term water-soluble vitamins in the body (Vis are excreted through urine), there is no risk of excessive quantities. Among the water-soluble vitamins include B complex vitamins and vitamin C.
