Antioxidants help the body to remove harmful free radicals, abusive molecules that damage cells and DNA. Antioxidants have good influence on health, including protection against heart disease and cancer. Studies connect drinking coffee with a reduction in risk of liver cancer and colon, type two diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease.

It is important to not forget beneficial effects of fresh fruits and vegetables, he warned. “Unfortunately, consumers still do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, which due to the high content of vitamins, minerals and fibbers are much better than the any other food,” said Vinson. Scientists showed that in comparison with other food, dates provide the largest source of antioxidant. Also cranberry and red grapes are very rich in antioxidants.

Andrew Baterman who is focused on living longer and healthier life is now thinking about taking one of these DNA tests. He says he read the add for the test that offers a diet based on the state of your cardiovascular system, metabolism and bone health.

You send your DNA sample to the laboratory in Seattle where a computer analysis the variations and changes in 19 specific genes. Gelex company representative says that based on the analysis they can propose the changes you should make in your life.

For example, VDR gene variations indicate congenitally calcium and vitamin D deficiency which could be repaired with diet. Apparently the genetic code helps the scientists to design a Healthy diet for each person. The test costs about 400 dollars, but nutritionists claim that you’ll be throwing your money away.

Doctor Steven H. Zeisel says that this kind of genetic research is not fully developed to be applied in practice. He and other critics say that these tests often do not give any results, because testing of just 19 out of 20,000 genes that influence the probability of various disease development is an illusionary science.

Professor James C. Fleet, Ph.D. of the Purdue University says that it’s naive to believe that only few genes influence the development of diseases. Nobody specifies what amount of vitamins one should take, or in which way certain vitamin supplements improve health.

The very idea of a healthy diet plan based on your genetic code is not bad. Nutritionist say – it is promising but it needs to be tested thoroughly and that in their words will take at least 5 to 10 years.

Experts have found a beneficial cocoa effect to the flow of blood in brief and long-term tests to the brain and, and they believe that is responsible for the positive effect of antioxidant flavanoli activity.

The authors suggest that better long-term flow of blood has a positive impact on cognitive abilities, but also provides protection against dementia.

Science research have confirmed what was known from the Aztec’s time – cocoa encourage brain to create enorfina (brain sedative and anesthetics), which leads to relaxation, and eliminate stress and pain.

Cocoa stimulates dopamine and serotonin secretion (carriers of brain information), which increase mood level- the effect is the reason why depressed people eat huge quantities of chocolate.

Cocoa is the source of mental health and good mood, rather than synthetic drugs has no adverse effects.

Scientists from the Institute for Medical Research in Queensland announced that it is about two molecules of bromeliad, a substance obtained from crumbled pineapple pedicles, which is used for softening meat, lightening beer or painting the skin.

One of the molecules CZ encourages immune system to destroy carcinogenic cells, while others CS blocks ras protein which affects the appearance of all types of cancer in 30 percent of cases.

If the results of a two-year investigation therapy stay positive, the Institute will begin to seek trade partners for clinical tests on humans.
