The Elixir of Youth: Q10 Coenzyme

The Q10 coenzyme was discovered in 1957 and it`s a substance with the same properties as a vitamin that plays two major roles in the body: produces energy and is a strong antioxidant.  This coenzyme is also capable to reduce the size of the tumors, minimize the effects of strokes and cardiovascular diseases. If it is applied on the skin, it fills the pores, protects it from oxidation, and it may prevent the wrinkle apparition.Other significant benefits of the Q10 coenzyme includes the improvement of the immune system activity, improve the cardiac conditions, enhances metabolism, positively influences fertility in case of men, and may reduce the arterial blood pressure.Small amounts of Q10 coenzyme may be found in fish, beef, organs, spinach, eggs, broccoli, and peanuts. However, through cooking or high temperature exposure, the antioxidant properties of the Q10 coenzyme disappear. Vegetarians may benefit from the Q10 coenzyme benefic effects through supplements.Daily stress, intense sun exposure, toxins, cigarette smoke, and other environment factors may lead to free radicals production. High amounts of free radicals may cause a series of biochemical reactions that destroy cells, proteins, and DNA.As the body gets older, the amount of Q10 coenzyme decreases. Studies showed that this substance may reduce by eighty percent the normal aging speed of the body.(c) Project Weight Loss 2009. All rights reserved.
