Fatigue and Free Radicals
Fatigue is an epidemic. Everywhere I go I hear people talking about how tired they are! One reason I wanted to set up this speciality program in Detox is because I do believe fatigue is directly related to the food supply and an overload of STRESS.
Stress produces metabolic byproducts in our body that have to be processed
by the liver. Even if you are young, the liver is overloaded from the sugars, refined food, alcohol, drugs, Tylenol and you name it. EVERYTHING, including our emotions are processed through our liver!
This diagram helps to show the oxidative stress from free radicals. Free radicals are a by product of life and are greatly increased with toxins, nutritional deficiency, fatigue, stress and diet. Just like rust on a patio set, your body has to manage this oxidative damage. Your body needs nutrients to protect itself. Does your diet provide adequate nutrition?
One approach to manage free radicals is with antioxidants. We provide an excellent video on Antioxidants on Vibrant Radiant Health along with great ways to increase this natural powerhouse in your diet and lifestyle. Learn more about antioxidants?
