The Cause of Disease
THIS MIGHT SEEM HARD TO BELIEVE... BUT,
We as humans don't actually age, we don't get sick and we don't
get diseases -our cells do. Our body's health is dependent on our
cells' health. So to slow down aging, limit sickness and prevent
disease we must protect and properly feed our cells. If you were
to put buttermilk in your car's gasoline tank - it would get a "disease"
and stop working.
WHAT ARE CELLS OHDE OF?
Cells are made up of many atoms. When these atoms are healthy the
cells replicate (make an exact copy) and keep the body young, well
and disease free. What makes an atom healthy is that it has "paired"
electrons.
HOW DO CELLS AGE, GET SICK AND GET DISEASES?
Atoms missing an electron are not just "bad" - they actually
destroy surrounding atoms by stealing their electrons. An atom missing
an electron is called a Free Radical. Free Radicals alter or destroy
cells. Cells that die, and cells that replicate in a damaged state
are the cause or contribute to premature aging, sicknesses and diseases
such as cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and many others.
WHERE DO FREE RADICALS COME FROM?
Smoking
Stress
Sunlight
Pesticides
Pollution
Airline travel
Medications
Foods
Food additives
X-rays
Exercise
Chlorine in treated water
Mercury in seafood and teeth fillings
And many more
THE SOLOHION is ANTIOXIDANTS
Antioxidants have "extra" electrons that they can give
to free radicals, which eliminates their harmful effects.
Antioxidants are your body's defense against destructive free radicals.
Therefore they are your defense against aging, sickness and disease.
WHAT is HEART DISEASE?
There are several forms of heart disease, but heart disease primarily
comes from the buildup of fatty deposits on the inner surface of
arteries. Eventually these deposits block blood flow, leading to
a heart attack or stroke.
How FREE RADICALS CAUSE AND/OR CONTRIBUTE TO HEART
DISEASE.
Scientists now believe that it's not just the eating of fat that
causes the buildup on the inner surface of the arteries, but those
fats that have been damaged by free radicals. This is called "oxidized
fat," which causes the fat to be more "sticky" therefore
adhering to the inner artery walls more easily. This explains why
smoking and stress are risk factors to heart disease - as are high
fat consumption.
"Don't underestimate the threat free radicals pose to
our health. Scientists now believe that free radicals are causal
factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease to arthritis
to cancer to cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major culprit
in the aging process itself. By controlling free radicals, antioxidants
can make the difference between life and death, as well as influence
how fast and how well we age."
Lester Parker, Head of Packer Laboratory, University of California
at Berkeley
WHAT is CANCER?
There are many different forms of cancer, but basically all forms
involve the abnormal growth of cells. Humans are made up of about
75 trillion cells that continually replicate themselves. Each cell
has a set of genetic instructions in its center called DNA that
controls cell growth, development, and replication. When the DNA
gets damaged, it can replicate an altered (damaged) cell- when/if
this altered cell replicates itself... this can become cancer.
How Free Radicals cause and/or contribute to Cancer.
It is proven that free radicals damage DNA. Most scientists believe
it is free radical damage to the DNA that begins many forms of cancer
How Antioxidants reduce the risk of Cancer
One of the most important roles antioxidants play in the body is
to protect DNA from damage caused by free radicals. In addition,
particular antioxidants can actually repair damaged DNA before it
replicates – if antioxidants are there. The importance of
maintaining proper antioxidant levels cannot be over emphasized.
Not so long ago, diseases were accepted as unfortunate but inevitable
facts of life.
We now know that diseases are not "caught" but are caused
by what we eat or don't eat.
WHERE DO ANTIOXTDANTS COME FROM?
Antioxidants are found in fruits and vegetables. They are also
found in other types of foods such as nuts, oils, beans, etc. Research
studies suggest that organic foods have higher concentrations of
antioxidants than processed foods grown with pesticides.
Antioxidants are also found in high quality vitamin supplements,
which are recommended by the American Medical Association because
most adults do not eat the right foods to properly feed their cells.
