War Within Our Body

As I mentioned in my previous post , through biochemical research we are learning the underlying cause of degenerative disease and possibly the process of aging is OXIDATIVE STRESS due to FREE RADICALS.

Chemically these free radicals actually produce bursts of lights, which if not neutralized quickly, set off a chain reaction and produce dangerous conditions.

In fact, throughout day and night a battle is going on inside our body. Let us see who are fighting and learn more about them.

• The Enemy: Free radicals
• Reinforcement of the Enemy: Conditions which increase the number of free radicals in our body like, Pollution in air, food and water, stress, lack of exercise, smoking so on!
• The Allies: Antioxidants
• Behind the lines: Supporting nutrients like the B - co factors ( B1, B6, B12 and folic acid), the antioxidants, minerals. These are like the supply lines of fuel, food, bullets, and the mechanics, who keep the machine running in combat situations.
• Mobile Army Hospital: The repair system in our body.

My next posts will describe separately in details both our enemy and the allies- stay connected!
