From the pros:
Add Heliocare® Daily Use Antioxidant Formula to your daily routine to help skin protect against the damaging effects of free radicals*
Aging happens to us all. It’s inevitable, but it’s also complicated. First of all there are two different kinds of aging: Intrinsic (think: genetics) and Extrinsic (think: environmental and lifestyle related factors). Unfortunately, extrinsic factors like pollution, sun exposure, excessive alcohol consumption, stress, smoking and even exercise all include elements that produce free radicals.
A free radical is a molecule that’s missing at least one electron, causing it to be negatively charged. In an effort to remain neutral, free radicals seek electrons from healthy cells. This process leaves healthy cells damaged, and sets off a chain reaction. Unfortunately, free radicals are a part of our everyday life and high levels of free radicals in the body have been linked to a number of medical conditions and premature aging.1
Pollution as an extrinsic factor is specifically concerning. And the ozone may be a primary cause of skin damage related to pollution. As described in a recent NY Times article, “Ozone, the toxic gas formed when UV light hits mono-nitrogen oxides (basically, combustion exhaust), is suspected by some to be one of the primary causes of pollution-related skin damage. (Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs UV rays, and so is protective against skin cancer. But ground-level ozone has been linked to respiratory problems.)”2 The ozone oxidizes lipids in the skin causing damaging inflammation, breaking down of the skin barrier and causing DNA-damaging effects.
Fortunately, you don’t have to permanently stay indoors or give up on your fitness goals; you can help neutralize free radicals by introducing antioxidants into your daily routine.3 The goal is for the number of antioxidants in the body to outnumber free radicals in the body. So in addition to a healthy, antioxidant-rich diet, consider adding a dietary supplement, like Heliocare Daily Use Antioxidant Formula to your daily routine to help your skin protect itself from the damaging effects of free radicals.*
Heliocare Daily Use Antioxidant Formula is a natural oral dietary supplement with a powerful antioxidant formula. It is derived from the extract of Polypodium leucotomos (PLE), a tropical fern native to Central and South America that has been used for centuries as a remedy for skin related conditions. The antioxidant properties in this supplement help skin protect against the damaging effects of free radicals and help to maintain younger-looking, more resilient skin.*
