Pollution Effects You Can't Ignore
With today’s polluted environment and high-stress lifestyles, there are more reasons than ever for taking nutritional supplements.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 60,000 chemicals have been buried or dumped throughout the U.S. over the last hundred years, and there are over 3,000 different carcinogenic chemicals found in our foods. These chemicals enter your body and begin to attack your tissues and cells, which can lead to disease and premature aging. In addition to the effects of these carcinogenic chemicals, smog, pollution and depletion of the ozone layer create free radicals, which constantly bombard us and attack our cells. Even common items such as cell phones, television and computers create free radicals. You are Under AttackFree radicals are highly reactive molecules that “attack” healthy cells, weaken the cell membranes and lead to disease and degeneration.Over 85 diseases, including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, cataracts and emphysema, have been linked to free radical damage. Free radicals and other environmental stresses are greater today than they ever have been. Your Defenses are WeakYour body does not make enough antioxidants to combat the damaging effects of today’s world, so it is essential to supply the extra support it needs.Arm YourselfSupplementing with antioxidants gives your body the ammunition it needs to fight back against free radicals, repair damaged cells and tissues, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, increase immune function and decrease infection.Return to “Nutritional Importance” or, View additional information:
