Studies all the way back from the 1990s have shown how antioxidants correlate with breast cancer. According to The Journal of Nutrition by the Oxford Academy, there is compelling evidence that diet plays a role in the development of breast cancer.
Before we dive into how antioxidants can help reduce the risk of breast cancer, let us do a quick overview of what antioxidants are and why they are important.
What Are Antioxidants?
Put simply, antioxidants protect the cells in your body from free radicals.
You might be asking “what are free radicals?”
Free radicals are a result of oxidation damaging a cell.
No matter how “healthy” you think you are, we are all exposed to free radicals. Many of the physical effects we call aging are a result of free radical damage.
Antioxidants are your first defense against free radicals. They freely share their electrons and stop the degenerative chain reaction of free radicals.
Antioxidants and Breast Cancer
We now know why it’s important to have antioxidants, but what does this have to with breast cancer?
Well, according to the American Association of Cancer Research, the risk of breast cancer in perimenopausal women was highest in women that had the lowest consumption of fruits and vegetables, meaning that they had the lowest amount of antioxidants.
On the other hand, perimenopausal women with the highest consumption of fruits and vegetables had little risk of breast cancer because their diet was rich in antioxidants.
With just this study in mind, why isn’t every woman getting their antioxidants checked and scored?
You might be asking “how can you measure antioxidants?” You do it through a revolutionary medical device called the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner.
The BioPhotonic Scanner is a cutting edge testing tool that allows you to non-invasively measure carotenoid levels in living tissue, providing an immediate indication of a person’s overall antioxidant levels.
The BioPhotonic Scanner was developed by the National Institute of Health and utilizes Nobel Prize-Winning science.
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is the world’s first measuring tool that gives a Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) – immediate evidence of carotenoid antioxidant activity in our body.
With the BioPhotonic Scanner, healthcare providers now have a science-based approach to finally address nutrition, prevention, and supplementation. Many physicians have integrated this technology into their practice, so check with your doctor to see if they use this technology with their patients.
How to Help Prevent Breast Cancer with Antioxidants
Both of the medical studies above show that the fewer antioxidants you have, the higher the risk of breast cancer you have. Traditionally, you would get your source of antioxidants from eating lots of fruits and vegetables every day.
In fact, the USDA recommends that you eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
That seems simple on paper but the problem is that the majority of people don’t eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
It’s possible that you don’t have enough antioxidants to protect yourself from harmful free radicals.
Now, I know what you’re probably thinking.
“What about supplements?”
68% of Americans take supplements but according to our database of over 30 million scans, the average American’s antioxidant score is not much higher than smokers and chronically ill patients.
The problem is that there is such a variety of supplements, with varying quality and ingredients, that it is hard to know what will work and what won’t.
The key is to take supplements that are of high quality with the right ingredients to ensure that they are effectively raising the level of antioxidants in your system.
So what is the answer?
Pharmanex offers medical-grade supplements that are guaranteed to raise your antioxidant score. The supplements from Pharmanex offer superior anti-aging benefits and cell protection by providing the body with important antioxidants and phytonutrients. *
Pharmanex supplements were the first supplements to be a sponsor of the U.S Olympic Team, and your physician can find them listed in the Prescriber’s Digital Reference.
As a matter of fact, Pharmanex is the only supplement company to guarantee the results of their supplements or you get your money back.
They can offer this because of the BioPhotonic scanner technology that allows you to measure and track antioxidants in your system which no other company can do.
Ask your doctor about these supplements. He or she will be able to find them in the Prescriber’s Digital Reference.
Conclusion
As you can see, it is important for women to know their antioxidant levels, and with the BioPhotonic Scanner, this is now possible.
The two medical studies that we discussed in this article have shown how antioxidants correlate with breast cancer and that higher levels of antioxidants can help reduce your risk of breast cancer.
Take charge of your health now by finding out your antioxidant levels and put yourself on the path to improved health and wellness.
Talk to your physician to see if they are able to scan for your antioxidant score, and if not they can go to antioxidantscore.com to learn more about this revolutionary technology.
