Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner: What are Free Radicals?
The Father of Free Radical Medicine is Dr. Denham Harman and he published a paper implicating free radicals as a major cause of aging and disease many years ago.
It is no coincidence that scientists believe free radicals contribute to the aging process. It’s a fact of life … we age, every second, of everyday. And although we can’t stop the aging process, we can take steps to improve our health as we age. Certain known causes of free radical damage such as smoking or sun exposure can have negative impacts on how we look and feel. Pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals – even the air we breathe creates free radicals within our bodies.
What are free radicals? Why are free radicals so bad?
Free radicals are highly reactive, short lived molecules that can damage proteins, fats, and even DNA inside of our bodies. Every day our cells get about 75 thousand free radical hits to their DNA. Most of the damage can be repaired by repairing enzymes inside the body, but the little bit of damage that can’t be repaired accumulates over time and can add to the problems associated with the normal aging process.
In order to reduce the amount of free radicals that invade our immune systems and to reduce the risk of cellular damage we must do the following:
Reduce as much stress as possible.
Improve the quality of the food we eat.
Increase the variety of antioxidant mechanisms, such as taking the quality multi vitamin Lifepak.
