  • What Are Antioxidants And Free Radicals?
    By: Clinton K | - Antioxidants are molecules found in foods that can protect your body from the harmful effects of free radicals. Free radicals are atoms or group of atoms with an odd number of electrons in its outer shell. Since all molecules want to have a complete shell, free radicals are in an extremely unstable state. In order to compensate for this, they can react with other molecules to steal one of their electrons, thus forming another free radical and causing a chain reaction. The danger occurs when ...

  • How To Slow Aging

  • What I The Relationship Between Oxidative Stress And Antioxidants?
    By: emsavard | - What is oxidative stress? It is a state of imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair the resulting damage. Like the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz, who became corroded because of oxidation, our health suffers from oxidation and it takes an alternative better than oil to repair it.
    Although we require oxygen to live, oxidation produces damaging by-products during normal cellular metabolism. ...

  • Why Wait For Science To Prove What Ancient Societies Already Knew About Anti-aging
    By: Dorota Antosik | - Dr. Denman Harman first proposed the "Free Radical Theory of Aging" in 1954. But long before that, different cultures were already starting to use antioxidants to fight the effects of aging.

And in doing so they made the effects of aging much less prominent, and may have extended their lives by several y ...

  • Dealing With Free Radicals In Your Body
    By: Dee Braun | - You might have heard the term free radical before, but few people know what they actually are. When a single molecule that resides within a cell in our body is left with an unpaired electron, after it has split, a free radical is formed. When this happens it loses it's stability and tries to regain it from the molecule next to it by taking it's electron. After this occurs, both molecules are considered free radicals and a chain reaction is started. The cell that is being compromised loses it's s ...

  • Antioxidants, Free Radicals And Maxgxl
    By: Anna Ruth | - As a kid I loved a television program called My Favorite Martian, with Ray Waltson & Bill Bixby. In an episode it talked about a dangling participle as something involved in geometry. I'm still not sure exactly what the connection was, but he presented a very cool picture of a triangle attached to the bottoms of a length of string and it fooled me well into my forties. I guess I must have skipped the English class that would have given me the truth a little sooner.
