Good Nutrition Is The Secret To Living Longer And Feeling Better Posted By: Jill Cohen

Eating healthy is something that many people find difficult over time. People give all kinds of reasons not to. In this economy, a big reason may be that they can't afford to eat healthy. However, the below article will prove that it is possible to eat healthy on a budget. Here's a scary one. Have you ever wondered why dogs only live 10 to 15 years while humans live typically 60 years or more? It all lies within our cells and our metabolism where oxygen plays a big part. Oxygen moves energy throughout our cells breaking the carbs we consume into energy. The problem is, oxygen also breaks down our cells in the same process. This is called "oxidation." But our cells also have a buffer against the oxygen, these are called "antioxidants" and are prevalent in fruits and veggies. Dogs have faster metabolisms than humans, which breaks down energy quicker and pumps much more oxygen into the cells. The cells die faster because of oxidation. Dogs also don't or can't eat many fruits and veggies, which carry those all important antioxidants.
