THE SCIENCE OF WELLNESS :
Antioxidants And Anti-Aging: In order to fully appreciate
the role of antioxidants in anti-aging, we must first understand the effects
of free radicals on aging.
Our bodies use oxygen to produce energy and fight infection through the
process of oxidation - a process in which a negatively charged particle,
the electron, is lost. Unfortunately, our bodies cannot completely control
oxidation and when the electron escapes, a free radical is formed.
Free radicals are highly volatile and destructive. They can damage the
structure of our cells leading to cell degeneration and death. Free radical
disruption of cell metabolism ages our cells and cause degenerative diseases
such as atherosclerosis, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes.
Antioxidants are a group of compounds that are produced by the body and
that occur naturally in many foods. Antioxidants have the unique ability
to deactivate harmful free radicals and protect the structure and function
of our cells. In other words, antioxidants can prevent our cells from
the degenerative effects of aging.
Therefore, it is essential that we have an adequate level of antioxidants
as well as other vital nutrients to keep our cells functioning optimally.
We Are Biochemically Unique :
Each of us is unique with regards to genetics, health
risk factors, diet and other environmental influences. Our bodies are
unique and each individual requires a different mix of antioxidants and
micronutrients.
Modern medical science has enabled us through detailed blood tests to
measure the level of oxidative damage, antioxidant protection and micronutritional
status of our cells. Based on this information, specific nutraceutical
regimens can be designed and custom compounded for each individual to
balance out your deficiencies and optimize cellular function.
