Everyone wants to grow old gracefully. No one can stop the aging process completely, but there are many ways to help prevent premature aging. Taking antioxidants can help to fight free radicals, which are unstable molecules that are missing an electron so they are constantly trying to "steal" an electron from the nearest stable molecule. This creates a chain reaction and can result it severe cell damage and eventually the death of the cell.
Antioxidants are substances that fight the free radicals and cell damage which can
lead to premature aging . They are not produced by the body so to get the benefit of these powerful substances you must ingest them. A variety of foods contain antioxidants.
Let’s go back to the beginning. The body continually replenishes its cells. Through a process called cellular metabolism, the body produces energy, more cells and repairs any damage. As the body repairs damaged cells the process can also result in more unstable molecules or free radicals.
The results are visible and invisible changes to our bodies. The development of diseases like cancer, diabetes, arthritis and neurological deficiencies may begin to affect you as you age. Also, thinner skin wrinkles and brittle bones are a problem. Free radicals enter our body from outside sources as well: cigarette smoke, radiation and the sun’s UV rays. The more free radicals we encounter, the greater the damage that can be done.
Antioxidants have been shown to be of great help in the free radical problem. Antioxidant substances combine with free radicals and neutralize them. Once they are neutralized, they can no longer do any damage.

The prickly pear fruit in Nopalea contain one of the highest amounts of betalains in nature, making Nopalea a very powerful wellness drink.
