[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

Other important benefits of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment and its effects on sports performance.

DESCRIPTION: Antioxidant intake from foods (not supplements) is associated with lower cancer risk.

But should we take a multivitamin? See Should We Take a Multivitamin?(https://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-we-take-a-multivitamin)

I recently covered how and why we should strive to eat antioxidants with every meal in an important three-part series:

1. Minimum “Recommended Daily Allowance” of Antioxidants (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/minimum-recommended-daily-allowance-of-antioxidants/)
2. How to Reach the Antioxidant “RDA” (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-reach-the-antioxidant-rda/)
3. Antioxidant Rich Foods With Every Meal (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-rich-foods-with-every-meal/)

Preferentially getting one’s nutrients from produce not pills is a common theme in the nutrition literature. See, for example:

• Are Iron Pills Good for You? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-iron-pills-good-for-you/)
• Can Folic Acid Be Harmful? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-folic-acid-be-harmful/)
• Produce, Not Pills to Increase Physical Attractiveness (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/produce-not-pills-to-increase-physical-attractiveness/)
• Greens vs. Glaucoma (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/greens-vs-glaucoma/)
• Cranberries versus Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/cranberries-versus-cancer/)
• Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/)
• Optimal Phytosterol Source (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/optimal-phytosterol-source/)

Antioxidants may also slow aging (https://nutritionfacts.org/videos/mitochondrial-theory-of-aging/), reduce inflammation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-inflammatory-antioxidants/), improve digestion (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/bulking-up-on-antioxidants/), and help prevent COPD (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-copd-with-diet/). So where are antioxidants found? See my series that starts with Antioxidant Content of 3139 Foods (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-content-of-3139-foods/) and Antioxidant Power of Plant Foods Versus Animal Foods (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-power-of-plant-foods-versus-animal-foods/).

What about the role of antioxidants in other leading causes of death? That’s the subject of my next video, Food Antioxidants, Stroke, and Heart Disease.
