The Ingredients That Should Be In Your Healthcare And Supplement Routine

We’ve all heard the phrase ‘Beauty from the inside out’ — and, as it relates to your healthcare and wellness routines, that means paying as much attention to what you are putting in your body as to what you are putting on it.

Lycopene is the natural substance (part of the carotenoid group) responsible for the deep red color in many foods, most particularly in Gac fruit. However, this fact is not what lycopene is most famous for. Most people are familiar with lycopene because of the many health benefits it provides such as a cancer fighting agent and a powerful antioxidant.

Lycopene Overview:
It was only in the late part of the twentieth century that the investigation of lycopene's health benefits started. However, for such a short period of time, scientists and medical researchers have established the significant role it plays in human health. You can find lycopene in certain vegetables and fruits, esp. in Gac. Once you consume the foods with lycopene, your body will use it as an antioxidant. However, for your body to benefit from it, you need to eat enough of the foods containing lycopene. The fruits and vegetables that are great sources of this substance can easily be added to your daily health regimen.

How Lycopene Functions:

Lycopene is allegedly a more effective antioxidant than other of its carotenoid cousins which include beta-carotene. Its powerful antioxidant actions are effective in maintaining the strength, thickness and fluidity of cell membranes. Cell membranes are the guardians of cells. They are responsible for screening what goes in and out of cells. They allow good nutrients in and remove cellular junk and prevent toxins from entering the cells. Strong healthy cell membranes are vital in the prevention of many diseases.

Health Benefits:
Lycopene is well known specifically to help prevent many forms of cancer as well as the prevention and treatments of many illnesses and diseases such as:

•  Heart diseases-Lycopene stops LDL cholesterol from being oxidized by   free radicals and in turn cannot be deposited in the plaques which narrows  and hardens the arteries
• Infertility-Research suggests that lycopene may help in the treatment of  infertility, Results from tests showed that lycopene can boost sperm concentration in men
•  Helps prevent diabetes
•  Prevents age-related macular degeneration and cataracts
•  Prevents the aging of skin and keeps it younger looking
•  Acts as an internal sunscreen and protects your skin from sunburn
•  Lycopene is also been known to help prevent osteoporosis

Dietary Supplement and Side Effects:
Lycopene is available as a dietary supplement in mixed formulations or by itself. It is typically available in soft-gels form and is oil based. There are currently no reported side effects from eating foods that are rich in lycopene or taking lycopene dietary supplements. Gac fruit extract is also another form of lycopene supplement that is becoming more popular and wide-selling. Lycopene is a substance that has many health benefits for you and your body. Most health agencies encourage individuals to increase their intake of food that has high levels of carotenoids, lycopene included.

Gac fruit has high levels of fatty acid-bound carotenoids called lipocarotenes that facilitate that delivery of carotenoids to cells.Gac fruit is an exceptional source of lycopene and beta-carotene.
Lycopene            : 70 times more  than tomatoes,
Beta-carotene     : 10 times more  than carrots,
Vitamin C            : 60 times more  than oranges,
Zeaxanthin         : 40 times more  than yellow corn.
It also contains alpha-tocopherol, vitamin E, and minerals including iron and zinc.

Gac, The Wonder Fruit:
Gac truly is a wonder fruit, packed from seed to skin with nutrients and age-defying antioxidants: In just the arils (the soft, deep red membranes surrounding the seeds) you can find lots of carotenoids, vitamins, polyunsaturated fats, protein, polyphenol compounds and flavonoids – all nutrients vital to good health.

Gac is packed from seed to skin with nutrients and age-defying antioxidants -- 70 times more lycopene than tomatoes, 10 times more beta-carotene and 40 times more zeaxanthin than yellow corn.
While all of these nutrients can be found as supplements, studies show that it is much more effective to get them from a diet containing whole fruits and vegetables than from a pill.

Of course, you could get all of these nutrients by eating a full, balanced, complete diet full of fresh vegetables and fruit… but with Gac, all of these can be found in just one simple fruit. These nutrients give Gac a wide range of wonderful health benefits for the whole body -- including the mind, eyes, skin and heart.
Many other so-called healthy fruits and vegetables lose their health benefits when juiced, either because the juice is naturally sugary (such as orange juice), or because sugar needs to be added to make it taste good (as in cranberry juice). Gac, on the other hand, retains all its health benefits when juiced because of its naturally low sugar content and its mild and refreshing taste.
Take a look and see for yourself what gac can do for you.
