Antioxidents;
Most members here know what free radicals are, and we don't like one sided radicals. Nothing but trouble.
'If you don’t have enough antioxidants to keep free radicals in check, they go rogue and steal electrons from wherever they can get them. When you have too many free radicals gobbling up electrons from stable molecules, it’s called oxidative stress. When that happens, cells get damaged and even die.
“When free radicals build up and start stealing electrons, those molecules, in turn, become unstable,” DiMarino says. “That leads to cellular damage down to the DNA level. So, when your body is experiencing oxidative stress in a particular area, we find signs of aging and disease.”
Oxidative stress is like that out-of-control mosh pit that’s forming on the side of the stage. And free radicals are the ones throwing elbows at you.'
What Are Free Radicals?
Free radicals are atoms that have one electron that is not paired. Sometimes they have more than one unpaired electron.1
Electrons need to be paired to be stable. Free radicals constantly look to bind with another atom or molecule to become stable.2
As they're looking around, free radicals can damage human cells. The consequences of that damage include effects like speeding up the aging process and even playing a role in the development of cancer and other diseases.
Antioxidants work by:
- Neutralizing free radicals by giving up some of their own electrons.
- Inhibiting oxidation, which generates free radicals that cause cellular damage.
- Preventing cell damage by stopping the formation of harmful free radicals.
- Balancing free radicals to protect other cells and boost immunity.
- Repairing DNA and maintaining cell health.
- -Oxidation is a normal and necessary process that happens in the human body. It occurs as our bodies metabolize the oxygen we breathe and produce energy from it. This process also produces free radicals, which can interact with molecules within our cells and cause damage to nearby cells, mitochondria, and DNA. When functioning properly, free radicals can help fight off pathogens. However, an imbalance between free radical activity and antioxidant activity can lead to oxidative stress, which can have negative effects on the body.
"Antioxidant" is a general term for any compound that can counteract unstable molecules called free radicals that damage DNA, cell membranes, and other parts of cells. Because free radicals lack a full complement of electrons, they steal electrons from other molecules and damage those molecules in the process. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by giving up some of their own electrons. In making this sacrifice, they act as a natural "off" switch for the free radicals. This helps break a chain reaction that can affect other molecules in the cell and other cells in the body. But it is important to recognize that the term "antioxidant" reflects a chemical property rather than a specific nutritional property.

Do Not Juice Vegetables And Fruits Together, Expert Shares Why
Do Not Juice Vegetables And Fruits Together, Expert Shares Why | OnlyMyHealth
When you juice vegetables and fruits together, it can lead to delayed digestion, or delayed gastric emptying, or gastroparesis.
Gastroparesis is a condition that affects the normal spontaneous movement of the muscles in your stomach. It is a disorder that occurs when the stomach takes too long to empty food, leading to a variety of symptoms that can include nausea, vomiting, feeling easily full, and a slow emptying of the stomach. Gastroparesis is caused by damaged nerves and muscles that don’t function with their normal strength and coordination, slowing the movement of contents through your digestive system.
If you juice more than you eat the fruits and veggies, dietary fiber be ingested also.
