Most people truly do not understand the concept of nutritional medicine and fewer yet understand the concept of cellular nutrition.
Concept of Oxidate Stress
Even though oxygen is necessary for life itself, it is inherently dangerous for our existence. In the process of utilizing oxygen within your cells to create energy, you also creat a by-product called free radicals. Free radicals are charged oxygen molecules that are missing at least one electron and desire to get an electron from the surrounding area. Id it is not readily neutralized by an antioxidant, which has the ability to give this free radical the electron it desires, it can go on to create more volatile free radicals, damage the cell wall, vessel wall, proteins, fats, and even the DNA nucleus of the cell. So the same process that turns a cut apple brown or rusts metel is causing you to rust inside. In fact, the medicinal literature now shows us that over 70 chronic degenerative diseases are the result of this process. Diseases like coronary artery disease, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson`s, arthristis, macular degeneration, MS, lupus, among others are the result of small oxidate changes that occur over a long period of time.
It is all about Balance
The number of free radicals you produce is not steady. In other words, some days you produce more than others. Because of our stressful lifestyles, polluted environment, and over-medicated society, this generation must deal with more free radicals that any previous generation that has ever walked the face of the earth. If you want to prevent oxidate stress, you need to have more antioxidants available along with their supporting nutrients than the number of free radicals you produce. You see, we are not defenseless against this process. Antioxidants are the answer.
Do I sound like a doctor or a nutritionist? Haha. Just trying hard. But anyways, keep on posting. Happy Mylotting. Have a nice day.
