In the process of creating energy within the furnace or fireplace of a cell, occasionally a charged oxygen molecule is created called a free radical. A free radical is an oxygen molecule that has at least one unpaired electron in its outer orbit. This literally gives the molecule an electrical charge, which creates very rapid movement as it tries to find an electron from the tissue around it. If it is not readily neutralized by an antioxidant, it can go on to damage the cell wall, vessel wall, proteins, fats, and even the DNA nucleus of the cell.
The medical and scientific literature has shown us beyond a shadow of a doubt that the root cause of over 70 chronic degenerative diseases is the result of oxidative stress from excessive free radicals. These are diseases like heart disease, diabetes, strokes, cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration, and the list goes on and on. These diseases concern us, and we would certainly like to avoid them. Taking nutritional supplements like USANA gives you the best opportunity to prevent or delay these diseases.
Great Information and Advice Nolan. So when is the first Yorkville area running group getting together? I am training for the North Face Endurance Marathon in September.
ReplyDeleteI second that question Dsleg...I'm in the yorkville area as well. Training for the Chicago Marathon. Good luck to you
ReplyDeleteDsiegfried - send me an email so I have your contact info. My email address is listed at the top of this blog. I don't have a plan yet for runs, but should have one soon. What distance are you running at The North face race? I am working with a guy from Oswego who is doing the 50 miler. I've run that course many times (During that race and also during other races).
