Nutrional Medicine and Cellular Health will give you a better understanding of how and why you can better protect your health or even regain your health by applying the following concepts to your own life. Over the past half century, nutritional medicine
has been practiced with the belief that you had to determine what
nutrients in which you were deficient and then supplement that
particular nutrient.
Research has now proven that the problem most of us are facing is not a
nutritional deficiency, but instead, the result of oxidative stress. Medication, which actually increases
the production of free radicals, will never be the answer to
preventing degenerative diseases. Our bodies, not the
drugs prescribed, are the best defense against developing degenerative diseases. The problem is NOT a nutritional deficiency. The problem is oxidative stress.
Concept of Oxidative Stress Even though oxygen is necessary for life itself, it is inherently
dangerous for our existence. In the process of utilizing oxygen within
your cells to create energy, you also create a by-product referred to
as free radicals. Free radicals are charged oxygen molecules that are
missing at least one electron and desire to get an electron from the
surrounding area. If it is not readily neutralized by an antioxidant,
which has the ability to give this free radical the electron it
desires, it can go on to create more volatile free radicals, damage the
cell wall, vessel wall, proteins, fats, and even the DNA nucleus of the
cell.
So the same process that turns a cut apple brown or rusts metal
is causing you to rust inside. In fact, the medical literature now
shows us that over 70 chronic degenerative diseases are the result of
this process. Diseases like coronary artery disease, cancer, diabetes,
Parkinson’s, arthritis, macular degeneration, MS, lupus, among others
are the result of small oxidative changes that occur over a long period
of time.
It Is All About Balance The number of free radicals you produce is not steady. In other words,
some days you produce more than others. Because of our stressful
lifestyles, polluted environment, and over-medicated society, this
generation must deal with more free radicals than any previous
generation that has ever walked the face of the earth. If you want to
prevent oxidative stress, you need to have more antioxidants available
along with their supporting nutrients than the number of free radicals
you produce. You see, we are not defenseless against this process.
Antioxidants are the answer. The question is whether or not we are
able to get all the antioxidants we need from our food. The only way you have a chance of preventing oxidative stress is by
taking high quality, complete and balanced nutritional supplements that
provide, this is called cellular nutrition.
What Does Cellular Nutrition Mean? In summary, it means ensuring that the cells of our body receive all
the nutrients they need for performing all cellular functions,
repairing and regenerating structures, and preventing oxidative damage.
The nutrients need to be in the correct forms, the right amounts, and
the proper balance. The ideal diet for maintaining healthy cells - and
healthy bodies - involves much more than we might expect.
