Taking an Antioxidant Supplement: Is it Just as Good?

By Kerry Welsh

It can be hard to get enough antioxidants through the day, because you need to make sure that you are eating all the right foods. For people who are very busy, or those who otherwise just want to make sure that they are getting enough of these antioxidants so that they can reap the full benefits, such as prevent fine lines and other signs of aging, and the prevention of various health problems, then there is always the option of just taking an antioxidant dietary supplement.

A lot of people wonder if taking an antioxidant supplement is just as effective as actually eating foods that are high in antioxidants and getting antioxidants in other ways and there are a few different things to think about here.

Facts to consider

So if you are thinking of taking an antioxidant supplement, there are a few things that you are going to want to think about first. For one thing, you need to know that an antioxidant supplement is of course easier than trying to fit in all those foods that are high in antioxidants. Of course just taking a single supplement each day is going to be much easier than making sure to eat three to four servings of vegetables, and this is why people who are very busy and who rarely are able to find the time to eat, can take a supplement.

However you also have to think about all the other important vitamins and minerals that you are missing out on when you are taking an antioxidant supplement, and which you would be getting if you were to actually be eating those healthy foods.

The best thing to do is to take an antioxidant supplement and maintain a healthy diet. This is not always possible but unarguably the best thing to do. By adding the supplement to your healthy diet you will also not have to eat as much food as you would have had to if you were not taking the supplement.

An antioxidant supplement will provide great health and anti aging benefits and you should ask your doctor for help in finding the right one for you. - 17273
