Alert: Beware of Dangerous Free Radicals

Alert: beware of dangerous free radicals

Think of your body as an energy-using, cell-building factory. Like all factories, your body generates wastes as it operates. These wastes are dangerous molecules known as "free radicals". There's no way of avoiding free radicals, not only are they produced by your body, they're also part of the environment. Free radicals are produced by smoking, and by exposure to low-level radiation thrown off by electronic equipment.

Free radicals damage the body's cells and the cells' DNA. They deposit plaque in your arteries, constricting them. Researchers also believe that free radicals' damage leads to Alzheimers disease and some forms of cancer.

Antioxidants: the heroes which fight free radicals

All is not lost. Plant foods are rich in antioxidants, which inhibit oxidation, and are your body's front line of defence against free radicals. This means that any diet that's deficient in fruits and vegetables, and thus antioxidants, inevitably leads to disease.

With today's busy lifestyles, many people don't have the time to prepare nutritious meals, so they increase their intake of vitamins C, D, and E, because these vitamins are powerful antioxidants.

But are they powerful enough?

All antioxidants are not created equal

Antioxidants destroy the free radicals which damage cells, so the more powerful the antioxidants, the better.

Perfor-Max is unique in that it contains a special class of antioxidants called oligomeric proanthocyanadins (OPCs), which are found in apples, berries and grapes. These OPCs are much more powerful than those in their vitamin cousins. They're twenty times more powerful than the antioxidants in vitamin E, and 50 times more powerful than those in vitamin C.

What can the powerful antioxidants in Perfor-Max do for you?

Your body can�t operate properly if it's filled with free radical sludge. Eliminating free radicals ensures that your cells stay strong, reproduce properly, and that you age gracefully. The destruction of free radicals is implicated in many chronic diseases, notably allergies, circulatory problems, and destructive processes like inflammation and arthritis.

Perfor-Max helps to build muscles
Even bodybuilders often don�t understand how antioxidants help to build healthy muscles. Taking an antioxidant-rich product daily decreases free radicals promoting strong, healthy muscles � including a strong healthy heart muscle, and good eye muscles.

Muscles shrink with age: it's intriguing to think that some of the aging-related reduction in your body's muscle-mass may be related to unrestrained free radicals.

Strong muscles also help with joint problems. If you have problems with your knees, it's recommended that you exercise to develop your muscles to take the stress off your knees � your antioxidant-rich Perfor-Max will help.

Perfor-Max helps the brain

Because the brain is so metabolically active and the body's largest consumer of oxygen, it's attacked by free radicals. This is revealed in loss of memory and mood disturbances. Scientists know that antioxidants protect against and may even reverse the cognitive declines of the aged.

A recent study by a psychiatrist of OPC antioxidants on children at his clinic showed excellent results, with improved school performance and improved behaviour in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).

Perfor-Max helps stress

Free radicals stress the body. An antioxidant supplement makes sense whenever you can feel the results of stress: in depression, mood swings, and unspecified aches and pains.

Perfor-Max helps relieve allergies

Allergies are reactions to factors in the environment, and allergens (the substances which cause allergies) can be in the air you breathe and in the food you eat, as well as whatever you're in contact with.

Antioxidants can act as an immune system boost, protecting you from allergens. They can also help to reduce the symptoms of an allergic reaction, like the swelling and inflammation of tissues in the nose and throat.

If you suffer from asthma or hayfever, take Perfor-Max daily.

How To Quit Smoking
by: Rob Mellor

One of the most vicious diseases in today�s times is smoking. It makes a person baffle for air 3 times more than a non-smoker. It has very many repercussions on the life of the smoker and those around him. It leads to lung cancer and various heart diseases like asthma and emphysema. We should thus abhor this deadly disease and quit smoking.

Quitting is not easy

But to actually quit smoking is not easy, because it is an addiction. However there are very many ways and methods that help us to quit smoking for instance we can opt for acupuncture therapy or aromatherapy. We can also opt for non-nicotine cigarettes or go for precise prescription by a doctor.

But first and foremost we need to decide in our heart to stop smoking and should also fix a day for the same. Inform your family about your decision and seek for their help and assistance. Throw away all the cigarette packets, ashtrays and lighters. Stop buying any more cigarettes. Rather think of the more useful and better things that you can buy with the money thus saved. Ask the other family members also, who smoke, to stop smoking. Keep yourself busy. Exercise regularly and meditate occasionally. Eat healthy food.

After doing all this you may still feel severe urges to smoke. You may also actually retort back to it, but that�s no problem, just be persistent and bring back your decision on to the right track after this break, because most of the people are successful only after 2-3 attempts.

Be prepared for withdrawal symptoms

About 80% people retort back to smoking after once leaving it and only 20% successfully accomplish the task. People retort back due to many reasons. Some say they feel agitated. Others say that the aroma when someone lights up is irresistible. But most of them do so due to the fear of symptoms that appears after that last puff viz. weight gain, aggressive thinking, dry throat, fatigue, muscle cramps, constipation, dizziness, hypersensitivity to stimuli, etc. but these are all just temporary symptoms and disappear in a few days. In fact after the initial bout is over the blood pressure, heart rate, pulse arte all get back to normal. You thus need to keep your will power strong and stick to your decision for a few more days.

Some people are not able to continue with the smoke cessation programs because they say that they are costly. But this is a wrong perception because they are not costlier than the price spent for buying cigarettes. And then isn�t it more logical to spend on your health rather on a disease.
