As we age, or whenever our cells cannot receive adequate nutrients, our natural body production of antioxidant enzymes decreases. When too many free radicals overwhelm a depleted enzyme system, cells become damaged and can no longer function or reproduce properly. In short, we have problem and further aging. This imbalance condition is called free radical pathology.
The problem that our body's own antioxidant enzyme systems face in a modern 20th century environment is an enormous increase in free radical generating stress. Environmental pollutants, radiation, excess sun, physical overexertion, frequent illness, chronic Problem created due to harmful organism, poor nutrition, aging and emotional stresses such as worry and Despair all generate new free radicals and subsequent chain reactions which damage cells.
