Free Radicals

They’re in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the environment we live in. To better understand the nature of a free radical, imagine a group of atoms rampaging through the body, stealing electrons from healthy cells and tissue. Once enough electrons have been stolen, the free radical becomes satisfied, and the victim is left with irreparable damage. The cells and tissue are now more prone to disease, aging and inefficiency.

Not to worry, the warriors are here. Antioxidants attack free radicals. These fighters simply provide the electrons necessary to satisfy the unbalanced atom. By shielding the healthy cells from the free radicals, antioxidants have been shown to support many functions and structures of the human body including the skin, immune system, as well as helping the body recover from trauma and counteracting the effects of aging.

Synergy

For years, experts have been telling us to eat high volumes of fruits, vegetables and natural foods. Ideally, our kitchens would be full of healthy things to eat, but in our fast paced modern life it’s nearly impossible to put this into practice. To make matters worse, most supermarket produce is grown in depleted soil and is full of chemicals. What we’re faced with is a deadly combination of diminishing physical activity, increased empty calories, “on-the-go” diets and fewer naturally occurring nutrients. Modern sciences have attempted to synthesize many nutrients, but while these synthetic supplements mirror their natural counterparts, they don’t measure up in terms of performance. Vitamins derived from natural foods are accompanied by enzymes, compounds and nutrients. Combine this with the deteriorative effects of processing, careless storage and chemical additives and you simply can’t match the beneficial effects of natural nutrients.
