Each day we are robbed of our youth by 5 major aging "criminals," members of the "Reactive Oxygen" gang, whose “weapon of choice” is inflammation. These persistent and nasty criminals prey on us as they rob our youth and nutrient-filled "homes" (bodies). Sometimes we actually invite these criminals into our homes to wreak havoc. This happens when we over-expose ourselves, without protection, to harmful processes and chemicals that produce harmful singlet oxygens like: tanning beds, the sun, first- and second-hand smoke, fluorescent lights, smog, car exhaust, stress, alcohol, medication, and poor diet. The result of these, often innocent, over-exposures lead to a verdict of aging skin filled with free radicals causing wrinkles, skin cancer, discoloration, sagging, and rashes.

So when it is time to go to court and press

charges because the aging crimes have been committed; will you have the best defense: Smart Skin Fitness?

Smart Skin Fitness begins with a positive identification of the 5 Chain Reactive Oxygen gang members. Selecting skin care products and eating whole foods that contain combative antioxidants protect us from becoming life-long victims of the Chain Reactive Oxygen Gang and garners flawless, supple hydrated skin.

Certain antioxidants have more protective power against specific members of the Chain Reactive Oxygen Gang than others, so it is important to arm ourselves with as many antioxidants as possible to fight and disarm the Chain Reactive Oxygen Gang. It is important to note that not all antioxidants are able to quickly reverse damage and that some merely protect the skin from worsening. This difference in protective strength is the primary reason we need to take in as many different types of antioxidants as possible on a regular basis.

The Line-Up: 5 Members of the Chain Reactive Oxygen Aging Gang

• Singlet Oxygen - to combat the negative aging effects of singlet oxygen, look for products that include Beta Carotene, a-Lipoic acid, CoQ10, Quercetin (natural forms: green and white tea)

• Superoxide Radical – to combat the negative aging effects of super oxide radicals, look for products that include Super oxide Dismutase, Zinc, Copper (natural form: mango)
