The Free Radical Theory Of Aging Is Well Known and Accepted – Understand It & Stay Young!
You Can Protect Yourself From Free Radicals & Aging Using The Methods Outlined in This Article
We are all looking for the magic potion that will miraculously turn us into slim, young, energetic, and wrinkle free individuals. After all who doesn’t want to look and feel young as they age?
One of the reasons we age and develop degenerative diseases is due to the damage that is caused to our cells by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that have an extra electron and hence have a negative charge. They are un-balanced and are dangerous to your healthy cells as they try to “steal” electrons from normal healthy cells. By doing this they create new free radicals and extensive cellular damage, leading to disease and aging.
Free Radical Damage
Free radicals attack different parts of our cells: our cell membranes are vulnerable to attack and when they are damaged, metabolic waste products are produced, including substances known as lipofuscins. As these lipofuscins build up in your body they can be noticed by darkening of the skin in certain areas, or “age-spots”, which represent as excess of metabolic waste products resulting from cellular destruction.
Lipofuscins interfere with our cells ability to repair themselves: they disrupt DNA and protein synthesis, leading to lowering of cellular energy and a body that is unable to build strong muscles or to have a strong immune system, as these are both dependant on healthy proteins for their normal functioning.
Lipofuscins also inhibit cellular enzyme systems, which are critical for every function within your cells – without normal enzyme function, your cells will be disabled and will not be able to produce energy adequately, and will accumulate waste products which leads to degeneration and disease.
Free radicals also attack collagen and elastin in your skin: these are the very substances that you require to keep your skin looking smooth, flexible, moist and wrinkle free. Under free radical attack, your collagen and elastin start to break down, which leads to poor skin condition – dryness, poor texture and wrinkles. This is particularly noticeable in the face where deep folds and wrinkles are certain indicators of the long term effects of free radical damage.
Free Radicals Lead To Aging & Disease
When we are young the effects of free radical damage can be repaired and your cells can stay healthy. However, as we age, the accumulated effects of free radical damage start to be evident. Free radical disruption of cellular metabolism is one of the leading causes of aging and disease, and may also lead directly to mutant cells, which can result in cancer and eventually total system failure, or death.
How Do You Stop Free Radical Damage & Even Reverse It?
Firstly, you need to remove the accumulated metabolic waste products & lipofuscins from your cells that have been storing over the years – these are leading to poor cellular health, DNA damage, poor enzyme function, and reduced protein synthesis.
Basically they are slowly poisoning your cells, and in-turn your organs, and then your whole body, which is essentially a collection of billions of cells. Once enough of your cells start to malfunction, certain organs in your body (the ones that have the most cellular damage) will start to malfunction. You will then start to develop symptoms of disease and poor health in that organ or system of your body.
Detox Your Cells & Organs And Remove Free Radical Waste Products
There is no more certain way to improve your cellular function than to detoxify your cells and remove the metabolic waste products that have been created by free radical damage. Cellular detoxification is the critical first step in this process of removing the damage inflicted by free radicals.
I have designed a 7 day whole body detoxification program which I believe is the ultimate way to achieve cellular detoxification, and to remove free radical damage.
This medical detox program has the sole purpose of achieving complete cellular and whole body detoxification. It includes powerful detoxification therapies such as: whole body ozone therapy, ozone colon hydrotherapy, green organic raw coffee liver detox enema, intravenous glutathione antioxidant infusions, far infra red sauna detox therapy and much more. You can find our more details about this unique program by contacting me directly on the number below or by email.
Antioxidants To Neutralize Free Radicals & To Prevent Cellular & Body Aging
Substances that prevent oxidative or free radical damage to your cells are called antioxidants. Natural antioxidants include vitamins C, E & beta carotene. These can be found in various foods and can also be taken as supplements to further assist your body to fight free radical damage.
Alpha lipoic acid is another antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell where it helps turn glucose into energy.
Alpha-lipoic acid is unique in several ways: unlike other antioxidants, which work only in water (such as vitamin C) or fatty tissues (such as vitamin E), alpha-lipoic acid is both fat- and water-soluble. That means it can work throughout the body. In addition, antioxidants are depleted as they attack free radicals, but evidence suggests alpha-lipoic acid may help to regenerate these other antioxidants and make them active again.
Because alpha-lipoic acid can pass easily into the brain, it has protective effects on brain and nerve tissue and is being investigated as a treatment for stroke and other brain disorders involving free radical damage. Animals treated with alpha-lipoic acid, for example, suffered less brain damage and had a four times greater survival rate after a stroke than animals who did not receive this supplement.
Alpha-lipoic acid can lower blood sugar levels, and its ability to kill free radicals may help reduce pain, burning, itching, tingling, and numbness in people who have nerve damage caused by diabetes (called peripheral neuropathy).
By taking antioxidants daily you can minimize or even prevent further free radical damage to your cells and the resulting aging effects to your body that they lead too.
I take vitamins C & E and alpha lipoic acid everyday and I would suggest you add these to your daily food and supplement intake also to prevent aging and disease.
