Let’s Talk About Health

titleOxidative Stress and Antioxidants /titleThere are a variety of ways that chronic pain, DNA damage, aging , oxidative stress, inflammation , antioxidants, metabolism and our immune systems are connected . A great starting place for checking out those connections would be the link between the management of oxidative stress and the prevention or at least delayed development of many degenerative and often painful illnesses that we associate with aging. p Oxidative stress can be a killer - even though it doesn’t sound serious and it is also associated with many illnesses and diseases like Parkinsons disease, Alzheimer’s disease , myocardial infarction other causes of heart failure and chronic fatigue syndrome. p Oxidative stress is what happens when there is either an out of control increase in peroxides and oxy-radicals/free radicals (collectively known as reactive oxygen species) or a significant shortage in the body’s antioxidant defense systems , one example is l-glutathione . p When your body can’t effectively use its supply of antioxidants to protect itself- at the cell level- from oxy-radical damage, you end up with oxidative stress. p Reactive oxidative species (ROS) originate indifferent ways externally or internally . p Externally, oxy-radicals come from ; exposure to toxins and pathogens , tobacco smoke , environmental pollutants , chemotherapy , UV damage , radiation, vigorous workouts and good old stress . p Internally, peroxides and other free radicals are a standard by-product of metabolized oxygen . Actually, the immune system produce free radicals to defend us against toxins and pathogens . Usually , our natural antioxidant reserves will remove these damaging by-products . However , when aging and/or weak health and lousy nutrition hinder our natural ability to avoid oxidative stress the harm accumulates and our systems are eventually overwhelmed . When you think of antioxidants - think anti aging products p Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species free radicals can result in DNA damage which can lead to cellular death and cell mutation. Typically , just as our production of antioxidants like glutathione declines as we age, (and you can’t take an oral a href=http://www.maxgxlexposed.com/buy_antioxidants.htmlglutathione supplement/a ) so also does our usual ability to maintain our DNA in good repair . One obvious illustration of the breakdown caused by oxidative stress is the wrinkled appearance (at best) to the skin of people who have not protected themselves from the sun’s harmful rays . p As hypothicized by the Free Radical Theory of Aging, the accumulation of damaged cells from the unchecked action of oxy-radicals is a major contributor to age related conditions and while we cannot stop the clock , no one will argue that taking care of our health can contribute to a higher quality of livingt through what are supposed to be our golden years.

titleVitamins E D3, Alma Fruit,Glutathione - Immune System Boosters/title Just like many other things the body’s immune responses weaken with age , that being the case, you might want to consider a href=http://www.wholeearthhealth.com/product/AIO-32 immune system boosters /a that can boost this important function . p p One of these supplements is Vitamin E. According to a study done at the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, at Tufts University in Massachusetts , Vitamin E might keep parts of the immune system from declining with age . A study was conducted on 78 healthy seniors , aged sixty-five plus which demonstrated that 200 mg of Vitamin E daily over a period of sixteen weeks triggered extra antibody production in response to tetanus and hepatitis B vaccines . p Vitamin E can boost our immune system by stimulating extra production of our killer cells charged with attacking germs and cancerous cells. Also , the B-cells, the immune cells that make antibodies to kill bacteria are set off when they’re around Vitamin E. Another interesting fact - in research from the Harvard School of Public Health use of Vitamin E supplements was demonstrated to reduce the risk of heart attacks by fifty percent . p Vitamin D3 which is produced in our skin as a result of exposure to sunlight is another immune system booster . p A new natural health product which contains immune system boosters also includes Alma fruit something I had never heard of before . Alma fruit, or the Indian gooseberry is also an exceptional source of Vitamin C with thirty times more than is found in oranges. Alma fruit grows naturally in plains and mountain areas of the Indian Subcontinent and is easily found in many places from Burma to Afghanistan . p continuing research is showing that Alma fruit can help to treat and/or avoid conditions like stress, cataracts , hay fever, arthritis and also cancer. It’s no surprise that the Indian and Tibetan healers consider it to have special immune enhancing and anti-aging benefits . p Japanese scientists at Nagasaki University have discovered that extracts from alma fruit prevent the growth of cancerous cells, with those in the stomach, uterus and skin showing the most pronounced effect. It’s also a highly concentrated source of antioxidants. The active immune booster in Alma is phyllemblin and it stimulates an increased creation of immune cells. p The body carries lots of antioxidant defense systems , but within each cell a tiny protein called glutathione is crucial . Glutathione is essential for the action of immune cells, which defend us from bacterial and viral infections. Among people suffering from immune deficiency, glutathione levels are below norms in blood and immune cells. When they can supplement glutathione levels to match what’s expeccted in healthy humans should help immune deficient patients .
