Okay, so I wanted to touch on vitamin E. Vitamin E is really essential for heart health, okay?

0:07.0

The way you become deficient in vitamin E mostly is by consuming refined carbohydrates.

0:12.6

In the form of breads, pasta cereal crackers, biscuits, waffles, pancakes, things like that,

0:18.8

vitamin E is unique in that it can travel right through the cell. Other antioxidants can't quite do

0:24.4

that. Now there's different parts of the vitamin E complex and I always recommend if you're

0:28.5

going to get vitamin E, make sure you get it in a complex not as one fractionated part of the

0:33.3

vitamin E complex. I would not just get alpha to cough roll. I would get the whole complex.

0:38.1

So alpha to cough roll is mainly used by the liver and this antioxidant cannot just travel on its own.

1:29.2

some type of oxidation or breakdown or free radical damage. Then you have something called gamma

1:35.5

to cough roll. This antioxidant has some protective factors against smoke but gamma to cough roll

1:41.2

actually helps protect or decrease the risk somewhat. The other thing is when you smoke you

1:46.7

deplete this antioxidant at the same time. So this antioxidant also decreased the risk of

1:52.9

certain cancers, it also supports the arteries. Then you have another antioxidant called

1:57.7

taco trinials, which helps support cholesterol, lipids. It also will decrease the risk of

2:03.7
