Oxidation is one of the main biochemical processes responsible for cellular aging and is a hot topic in anti-aging. It is a process in which substances called free radicals attack the cells, eventually destroying them. Free radicals are molecules with a missing electron in the outermost shell. These molecules are very unhappy existing with this missing electron so they steel an electron from a neighboring cell, in the process destroying that cell.
Antioxidants are substance that protect the cells from free radical attack by giving up their own electrons. There are several antioxidants that literally form a network in which one recycles the other after they have been turned into free radicals themselves. This network is one of the most brilliant examples in nature of teamwork that exists. Harnessing the power of the antioxidant network by supplementing the body with these substances is a powerful anti-aging tool! The antioxidant network is one of the cornerstones of anti-aging.
Together with antioxidants, other substances such as bioflavonoids, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals target four main areas in the body that are key to maintaining a diseases free state. These are the mitochondria, adrenals, brain, and the immune system.
The health experienced by you as an entire organism is contingent upon the health of the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the power engines of the cell. Symptoms of fatigue and low energy are an indication that the mitochondria are not working efficiently. There are several nutraceuticals that can restore healthy functioning of the mitochondria.
The adrenals are vital organs responsible for the manufacture of the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Without these hormones, we could not adapt to various stimuli in the environment. With the myriad of duties people must juggle in today’s busy lifestyles, the adrenals are often overworked and suffer from what is called "adrenal exhaustion. Natural bio-identical hormones as well as antioxidants help restore the adrenals to their previous, youthful level of functioning.
The words hard working organ conjures images of the heart beating tirelessly or the kidneys vigilantly filtering the blood; one rarely thinks of the brain as being hardworking. The brain is actually one of the hardest working organs and has special energy and nutrition needs. In many cases, depression and brain fog is just "chronic fatigue" of the brain. The brain is a hub of neuronal activity executed by a rich network of neurons and is particularly vulnerable to oxidative attack. This eventually leads to a chronic state of inflammation leading to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s. Protection of the brain is one of the most specialized, important topics in anti-aging. There are several supplements and antioxidants that offer powerful, anti-aging protection for the brain.
There is never a time when the immune system does not have to contend with marauding, raiding bands of bacteria, viruses, and yes, even cancer cells. Without a healthy immune system, the body would not have the capacity of launching a resistance against these daily raiders. Over time, the immune system grows weak and ineffective due to the overwhelming amounts of free radical, toxins, and inflammation. The antioxidant network is key to a healthy immune system which is in turn key to a body resistant to the ravages of time.
