Antioxidants

Briefly I will try to conceptualize this for you. Remember that there are million of cells in the body, each having its own domain in the body namely the liver, heart , lungs, kidneys, bones ETC.... Within every cell in the the body is a Furnace (YES a Furnace) called the MITOCHONDRIA (not the ALFA MITO).Now try to imagine yourself in front of a crackling, warm fire. It burns safely and quietly most of the time. BUT on occasion, out flies a CINDER that lands on your carpet, burning a hole in it. One cinder by itself does not pose much of a threat; but if this sparking and popping continues day after day and months after months,year after year, you will end up with a pretty ragged carpet in front of your fireplace.
Similarly, this microscopic mitochondria within the cell reduces the oxygen (remember we are continually breathing oxygen and using up the same to burn the fat in the cell) by the transfer of Electrons to CREATE ENERGY into the form of ATP (ATP is the abbreviation for ADENOSINE TRIPHOPSHATE ....Google if you need to know about this natural substance) and produce a by product of water. This process goes on without a hitch at least 98 per cent of the time. But the full complement of four electrons needed to reduce oxygen to water and concomitant energy does not always happen as planned and this is when the Trouble starts.... a FREE RADICAL (RASCAL) is produced.The cinder from the fireplace represents a FREE RADICAL, and the carpet represents YOUR BODY. Whichever part of the body receives the most free radical damage is the first to wear out and potentially develop degenerative diseace. If it is your blood vessels, you could have a heart attack or a stroke.If its your eyes, you could develop macular degeneration or cataracts.If its your joint space, you could develop arthritis. If its your brain, you could develop Aizheimer's or Parkinson's disease. After the passing of time,our bodies can look just like the carpet in front of the fire place.
This Free Radical onslaugIht causes what we call Oxidative Stress. We need to combat this oxidative stress.............. HOW?........... SIMPLE...!

Enter the radical scavanging ANTIOXIDANTS.An antioxidant is any substance that has the ability to give up an electron to a free radical (remember the rascal free electron I wrote about earlier,)
and balance out the unpaired ("rascal") electron, which then neutralizes the free radical.Our bodies do not produce all the antioxidants we need.The rest of the antioxidants come from food or supplements (as opposed to pharmaceutical chemicals or poisons for short!). For as long as adequate amounts of Antioxidants are available for the amount of free radicals produced, no damage is wrought to our bodies.But when more free radicals are produced than there are Antioxidants, OXIDATIVE STRESS occurs! When this situation persist for a prolonged period of time, we develop a chronic degenerative disease and begin to lose the war within our bodies.
Most antioxidants we get from vegetables and fruits. Most common and useful is Vitamin C( at least 500-1000 mg). Blueberry (washed thoroughly), Bananas,(Blaclmore) Coenzyme Q10 100mg Backmore,60mg x 2, Grape Seed Extract all (Blackmore 2tabs) all on empty stomach with glass of water first thing in the morning with Berocca) must with Lacto GG. Breakfast later about 45 minutes . Breakfast take Whole Rolled Oats in skim milk cooked no more than 5 minutes (Australian Organic variety).Whole Oats contain Beta glucan--- this is now known to enhance the body's immune system by turbo charging its response to bacterial infections.They do this by activating certain white blood cells called marcophages, which act like hungry little"PAC-MEN" gobbling up foreign invaders like fungi and bacteria. Whole oats are cruncy and can be eaten as snacks ...remember these oats can really help you to lose weight. I have lost 8kgs in2 weeks so far. Now even for lunch I take 5 spoonfuls (chewed raw) with water and then head out to have a bowl of fish soup. You will also find that your bowel movement actually increases in flow, consistency and regularity.On a regular programme this single item can and will help you a lot. No need for Detox. This is DETOX. Oh Incidently, one other point be very cautious about the oil you use for cooking. Believe me that Ghee is a lot better that all the cooking oils available on the market. Avoid (like the plague) any product with the words" Hydrogenated vegetable oil or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" ... this is that dreaded TRANS FATS known to cause inflammation of the arteries and cholesterol blockages.Avoid Canola Oil... its actually Rape seed oil made in CANada hence CANOLA.In the refining process it actually gets converted to bad trans fats. Back to basics... you can even use Coconut oil, Ground Nut (or Peanut oil).Extra virgin olive oil (not for frying ..only for salads as opposed to normal olive oil which is actually SHIT) Ghee, Peanut oil, and coconut oil has high frying point i.e the oil does not oxidise or breakdown and carbonise.Ever seen the commercial oils (OLD CHANG KEE curry puff ?) dark in colour. I believe tis is also true of the oils used in Aussie land for Fish and Chips!Yes these commercial oils have, despite being already oxidised, been reused over and over again. This happens in every restaurant. Oxidised cooking oils are actually very carcinogenic (cancer causing and digestively irritating) and after many years I have reduced "outside" eating to the minimum and found that my insides are really happy.I HAVE SEEN the rubbish piled on your plates (pictures via Anand"s facebook). YOU MUST BE INSANE TO EVEN ALLOW THAT RUBBISH TO TOUCH YOUR MOUTH LET ALONE YOUR INSIDES.STOP this bad lifestyle and Natural Detox will follow. Also stop this rubbish about drinking 1 litre of water in the morning. You don't drink...you sip.. a glass of water with the" tablets/capsules" I recommended and you will be OK.) Drink water over the course of the day WHEN YOU ARE THIRSTY... Check your urine colour...(do not forget that if you are taking the BEROCCA... B...group vitamins can cause yellow urine for a while... do not worry about about this... hence take Berocca in the morning together with the the supplements I have recommended....... better use Berocca in cold water (remember B group of Vitamins are HEAT SENSITIVE) to chase the supplements into your stomach instead of plain water... Aussie plain water must SUCK). Thereafter monitor your urine until its light yellow.. that is the way to check your desirable water intake level. Do not worry.. You are only taking food supplerments.. not chemicals produced by big Phama companies(no damage to to Liver). By the way I want to share this with you. Remember I went to SGH for the stomach problem I had. Yes. After the gastroscopy this Specialist remarked "no cancer... no ulcer.. only slight redness... I think you only have a sensitive somach" Within a fraction of 7 minutes the hospital took away $1250 from me.I showed him a bottle of "prebiotics" from Nature Farm that I was taking and actually told him that between the time I made the appointment to see him (a period of 2months) and actually seeing him, this supplement had actually helped me a lot. GUESS WHAT? after seeing me... and looking very calm.. and nonchalant he actually gave me another type of PREBIOTIC called PRO-GUT. Same shit different name.I was not fooled! Specialist my ARS. Sorry for the bad language but I actually told him what was best under the circumstances.This helped .. but by now internet helped more. HENCE THE WONDERFUL PRODUCT CALLED "LACTO GG". I have researched this product and believe me it really works!Its the only bacteria that is PATENTED by 2 scientists. Read the pamplet inside the box. Normal YOUGURT only has Acidophilus and bacic Bifidus bactertia,(if you can have this Yogurt every day with any dinner (no HOT food please) and it powers the lacto GG for good intestinal coverage. I have till now refused to follow up with my SGH appointment ( 4 reminders so far) simply because I honestly believe that YOU ARE THE BEST JUDGE OF YOUR BODY. Yes YOGURT(takewn at dinner time) combines well with the Lacto GG taken in the morning has really CURED ME. Common Sense and ARDAS TWICE a day can work MIRACLES.

THATS ALL FOLKS
