Have you heard of Free Radicals? These are highly reactive and unstable molecules which look like sparks of fire under the microscope.
Just image, if we have sparks of fire bombarding our cells which we are primarily made up of, would we be very healthy? Just like the shirt, if we have sparks of fire on the shirt, very soon the shirt would be burnt. And so it is, with these free radicals continually bombarding our cells, our cell walls, our cell proteins, and our cell nucleus which contains our DNA, would be damaged. And, it’s where degeneration begins.
This process of Free Radicals damaging our cells is called oxidative stress, in quite the same way that makes metal rust, and cut apple turning brown.
What’s becoming worrying is that we have more and more of these Free Radicals because of the toxic environment men have created. From the damage to the ozone layer resulting in more harmful ultra-violet rays and radiation, to industrial waste, to agricultural contamination like pesticide and hormones for livestock, to pollution in the environment (the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breath), to chemical additives and preservatives, down to the increasingly stressful life we have, free radicals are increasing in big quantities, damaging our cells!
With these free radicals damaging our cells, and the damaging cells continually dividing, you end up with more and more damaged cells. Whichever part of your body gets more Free Radical damage – that is where you would get more degeneration.
