Although oxygen is essential for life, its reactivity with other
compounds can be detrimental. Free radicals are the result of some
oxygen molecules that are converted into oxidizing agents during
the process that creates energy in cells, cellular respiration.
Oxygen is a very active element, and in the process of exchanging
the molecules in the bloodstream, oxygen combines with many different
compounds. Some of the compounds can cause damage to body tissue.
These harmful compounds, "free radicals", can be caused
in a number of ways, such as ionized radiation from the sun, x-rays,
and industry; nitrous oxide from automobile exhaust, cigarette smoke,
alcohol, saturated fat, and chemicals found in food, water, and
air. Because of free radicals' instability, they react with cells
in the body causing abnormality. There are many free radical related
health problems and conditions such as cancer, aging, atherosclerosis,
and over 60 identified others.
Antioxidants work in a variety of ways to reduce the effects of
free radicals. They can greatly decrease the damage caused by free
radicals, stop them from forming to begin with, or "oxidize"
them by combining with them and neutralizing their harmful effects
through stabilization.
The body produces two enzymes on its own to stabilize free radicals.
They are Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.
Although supplements of these enzymes are available directly, the
body may not be able to absorb them. Therefore, it is much more
useful to supply the body with the building blocks of these enzymes
so that the body can build them itself.
There are many vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and herbs that act
as antioxidants or aid in the production of them such as Pine Bark
Extract, vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamins B2, B3, and B6, CoEnzyme
Q-10, bilberry, grape seed, pine bark, ginkgo biloba, selenium,
zinc, copper, and many others. The best way to make sure your covering
all the bases in the neutralization of free radicals is to supplement
with a wide variety of antioxidants.Antioxidants have amazing preventative
ability and can add youth, health, and strength to your body.
