Phytos (Phytonutrients)
Strengthen Our Immune System
Phytonutrients are a class of health-promoting, bio-active compounds
...that naturally contribute to the flavor, color and disease resistance of plants. "Phytos" (from the Greek "phyton" meaning plant) simply means nutrients from plants with many sub-categories.

Your "Phytos"
Most known phytonutrients are strongly related to pigment. Dark red and blue pigmented flavonoids, with names like isoflavones, anthocyanins, flavinols, catechins and phenols are dominant in fruits.
Why is this so important?
Well, one of the biggest reasons is.......
Phytonutrients are
powerful antioxidants.
Perhaps most important to know about phytonutrients and fruits is that they appear to be far more beneficial and
effective in promoting health when a combination of fruits (not just a single fruit) is consumed.
It's these power-packed nutrients that give fruits and vegetables their many
dark colors.
Consuming a variety of phytonutrients with a full spectrum of colors and pigments provides many health benefits.
Why?....because....
Plants make their own disease-fighting chemicals we
call phytochemicals, phytos for short.
The same phytos that help keep plants healthy
also keep our bodies healthy.
These super-nutrients provide Mother Nature's
"medicine" for cell health.
It's these phytonutrients that help protect
our body and fight disease.
How?....
They help our cells repair themselves by stimulating
the release
of protective
digestive enzymes
that rebuild damaged cells.
For example: Phytonutrients fight cancer.
Cancer starts with a cell
out of control.
Like a band of terrorists, these out-of-control
cancer cells try to infiltrate other organs
through the body's blood vessels.
Then, through a process called metastasis,
these cells spread throughout the body
looking for a place to settle.
--- That's why ---
Phytos also help hearts.
Antioxidant phytos can interfere with the damaging effects of LDL (or bad cholesterol) on arteries. When artery walls are damaged by
free radicals,
it's easier for oxidized LDLs to build up. Antioxidant phytos, especially beta carotene, block this process and thus resist cardiovascular disease.
This is one of the BIGGEST reasons why
phytos
from eating superfoods
are so very important!
Even though there are antioxidant phytos in all plant foods, those found in fruits and vegetables seem to be the most powerful. (See the
beneftis of high ORAC antioxidants.)
One reason is flavonoids, which are the largest group of several thousand compounds belonging to the antioxidant-rich polyphenol family (also called phytochemicals).
Berries such as the
Acai Berry,
blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries are superfoods with bioflavonoids that contain some of the highest levels of antioxidants known to man.
However,
healthy dark chocolate
(especially when it's
combined with bioflavonoids)
has the highest antioxidant levels available*
-- not to mention, it's chocolate!

These natural fruits along with other fruits and vegetables are low in calories and high in beneficial fiber. Plus, many are also rich in vitamins and minerals.
Phytonutrients have been demonstrated to provide
these health benefits:
--- facilitates death of radical oxidized cells ---
--- detoxifies certain carcinogens ---
--- enhances cell-to-cell synergy ---
--- repairs DNA damage ---
--- enhances immune responses ---
--- performs antioxidant duties ---
--- helps prevent osteoporosis ---
--- helps prevent cardiovascular disease ---
--- helps prevent macular degeneration and cataracts ---
