The Science Of Free-Radicals and Free Radical Skin Damage Care Breakthrough
How to Slow The Aging Process Naturally
Free radical skin damage care products continue to flood the skin care market without the proper education.
The key to slowing the natural aging process is to understand
the role of free radicals which means the good and the bad.
Good because free-radicals are need to keep us health and ironically.
Bad Why? Because excessive free-radicals accelerate the aging process.
Consider the two women of the same age .. you do not really need to guess
which women has a higher level of free radicals - do you?
If you said the women on the left - you're absolutely right her skin has not aged nearly as much.
But why? Genectis and lifestyle have a big impact, nevertheless options for you to take to combat the rate of aging.
Now
let's understand what exactly how free radicals work to rob you
of life and vitality'
What Are Free Radicals?
Simply put free radicals are present in our bodies where ever there
is disease and destruction.
Conversely, free radicals are present whenever there is life.
Everytime you:
-
Remember a fact
-
Become sexually aroused
-
Battle a cold
You are putting free radicals to good use.
"Clearly, we need free radicals for our
survival. Yet in less than a split second., free radicals can
turn on us and make us sick and AGE us before our time..."
The Anti-Oxidant Miracle - Lester Packer, Ph.D
As you can see free radicals are both friend and foe.
But it is important to stress that Scientists believe free radicals
contribute to the aging process - if fact you can say that free
radicals accelerate the aging process.
The good news is that you can do something about it, but remember
It's a fact of life … we age, every second, of everyday.
And although we can't stop the aging process, we can take steps
to improve our health as we age.
Certain known causes of free radical damage such as:
can have negative impacts on how we look and feel.
Pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals - even the air we breathe
creates free radicals within our bodies.
Why should we be concerned about free radicals?
Free radicals are highly reactive, short lived molecules that can
damage proteins, fats, and even DNA inside of our bodies.
Every day our cells get about
75 thousand free radical hits to their DNA. Most of the damage can
be repaired by repairing enzymes inside the body, but the little
bit of damage that can't be repaired accumulates over time and can
add to the problems associated with the normal aging process.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are our front-line defense against the free radicals
that constantly affect our cells.
Over 30,000 scientific papers have been written about free radicals
and antioxidants in the last 20 years.
There are many different kinds of antioxidants and they work together
to help fight the harmful effects of free radicals.
Our bodies produce some antioxidants and other important antioxidants
are consumed in our diets. All of these antioxidants work together
to form a powerful system to support good antioxidant health.
Antioxidants can actually capture or neutralize free radicals and
therefore stop the chain reaction. One of the most powerful classes
of antioxidants is carotenoids.
Carotenoid antioxidants can help break the chain reactions of
free radical damage.
"Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins
by diet alone.
Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials,
it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."
Journal of the American Medical Association, June, 2002.
Bio Photonic Scanner
Scientists from around the world are talking about a brand new
invention that is on the verge of changing the way people think
about antioxidant health - the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner.
This revolutionary tool enables us, for the first time, to measure
our level of carotenoid antioxidant protection quickly.
How does it work?
Sir C. V. Raman discovered the technology on which the scanner is
based in the 1920's. Sir Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize for the
discovery of the Raman Spectroscopy in 1930.
That was in the 1920's, but until the onset of the computer, optical
and laser technology reached its current sophistication, the concept
was not really practical.
Raman's discovery proved that there are certain molecules, like
carotenoids, that can be excited with a certain wavelength of laser
light.
The molecules then begin to resonate in very particular ways, releasing
a very specific light signal of an altered wavelength that then
can be measured.
This discovery was revolutionary at the time, but computer and
laser technologies could not fully apply it until recently. In just
the last ten years, researchers at a major university, led by Dr.
Werner Gellerman, actually started putting all these pieces of technology
together.
The scanner technology is a tremendous scientific breakthrough.
Because carotenoids are found throughout the body as part of the
body's antioxidant network, scientists believed this technology
could be used to measure carotenoid levels in human tissue.
That's when the scientists at Pharmanex® collaborated with
Dr. Gellerman to develop the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner.
By simply placing the palm of your hand in front of a safe, low-energy
blue light laser, you obtain an immediate reading of your carotenoid
antioxidant level-your antioxidant Score.
What about other measures of antioxidants?
The scanning of your skin as a measure of your body's carotenoid
levels is much more accurate than measuring from your blood or urine,
since body fluids' antioxidant concentration can be manipulated
in only a few hours or a day, whereas it takes 4 to 6 weeks or longer
for carotenoids to reach the skin.
Prior to the development of the BioPhotonic Scanner, the most
accurate way to measure antioxidant levels was to remove tissue
that could then be analyzed in a lab.
Not a very attractive option!
