Oxygen paradox

You know that oxygen is an essential need of life. But it has also an adverse effect on your health. This is called as oxygen paradox. In fact, oxygen gives us life by giving energy. But, parallely it gives us stress too i.e. stress due to free radicals, which is not good for healthy life.

It has been proved scientifically that oxidative stress is the main reason behind more than 70 chronic degenerative diseases. Hence, human body cell degeneration is the outcome of this stress level or we can say that free radicals level in the body.

Oxidative stress and its process

Oxygen is inhaled by human beings through respiratory system. It is used for burning of food particles so that to convert food into glucose.

During the process of food burning, an electron of oxygen is used for initiating food metabolic process. Along with nutrients, unwanted & unstable molecules are also generated in the cells. These unstable molecules try to make them stable by stealing electron from nearby molecule of cell. It starts a chain reaction. As a result, it promotes deterioration of body cells. This complete phenomenon of cell degeneration due to oxidation in the body is known as oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is defined as a phenomenon, caused by imbalance in between the generation of free radicals and the reduction of free radicals by body’s defence mechanism. Free radicals act like an oxygen reactive species in the body.

Free radicals

Chemical species or molecules with unpaired electrons are known as free radicals. These are generated during the state of oxidative stress in the body. Free radicals can damage body cells by creating a regular chain of oxidation.

Free radicals are molecules with only one electron in its outer orbital.

You might have noticed many common phenomenon in your day today life. Few are here like rust in iron pieces, colour change in a cut piece of fruits etc. All these happen because of oxidative stress or free radicals.

What are the main causes of oxidative stress ?

There are so many causes of oxidation in the body. Few are here. You can check them. Check given below factors. These factors will ensure the facts.

Pathological sources (external factors) of oxidative stress

1. Air pollution
2. Soil pollution
3. Water pollution
4. UV radiations
5. High use of allopathic medicines
6. Adulteration of food products
7. Bad farming practices
8. High consumption of fast foods

Physiological sources (internal factors) of oxidative stress

1. Internal metabolism issues
2. Respiration
3. Nutritional deficiencies
4. Diseases
5. Stressful busy lifestyle

Defence factors of body against free radicals

• Using antioxidants (Vit. A, C & E)
• Metal carrier proteins
• Generation of scavenging enzymes

Formation of free radicals in the body is a normal phenomenon. But the formation of excess free radicals in the body is harmful. Obviously, it is not good for your healthy body and healthy life.

So, you should be aware about its prevention.

How to prevent against free radicals ?

• Regular exercise – daily exercise
• Positive attitude – no stress
• Adequate rest – sound sleep
• Good nutrition – organic supplementation

Oxidative stress prevention supplements

Human body is more susceptible to infections. Although, pandemic situations are most crucial for human beings. So, you need to use organic supplements. On the other hand, regular doses of powerful antioxidants are essential for boosting your immune health. Supplements make you capable of fighting against infection like covid-19.

Following organic supplements can help you in building your immune system against oxidative stress:

• Multivitamin and multiminerals. Help in conducting several chemical reactions in the body.
• Multicarotene. Prevention from free radicals at cellular level.
• Vitamin C. Supports in prevention from free radicals.
• Protein. Helps in overall growth and maintenance of cells.
• Omega-3. Maintains good fatty acids balance in the body.
• Tulsi. Acts as a powerful antioxidants.
• Ashwagandha. Helps as a powerful vitality booster.
• Echinacea. Supports immune system.
• Garlic. Acts as a powerful natural antibiotic.
