FREE RADICALS are compounds that charge through your body, ripping and tearing apart your cells, arteries, bones and skin. They attack the DNA cells and make them rancid--like rotting food! This is called peroxidation, and it's a chain reaction!They set off the degeneration process of any cells they touch! One result of peroxidation is CANCER..
Our bodies can fight back with natural defenses against free radicals known as ANTIOXIDANTS! When our systems lack enough of these antioxidants, the free radicals can go on a peroxidizing spree, causing everything from premature aging to cancer and heart disease. All of the disorders we blame on getting old are the result of free radicals roving throughout our bodies.The main antioxidants are beta-carotene, vitamin C and Vitamin E They are found naturally in fruits and vegetables and in dietary supplements.
ANTIOXIDANTS are warriors that combat toxic oxidants which attack cells and tissues in our body!
Kenneth Cooper, M.D., founder of the Cooper Aerobics Center has found that high-intensity exercise may actually produce an excess of free-radicals, which leads to chronic disease. Many veteran distance runners have died of cancer, heart attacks, etc..
Dr. Cooper acknowledges that exercising generates large numbers of free radicals as a by-product of deep or "heavy" breathing.
