VITAMIN E AND THE DAMAGING EFFECT OF FREE RADICALS

Vitamin E has many uses in the body to stay healthy. It is one of the groups of fat-soluble compound. Its chemical compound has anti-oxidant property responsible for the protection of damaging free radicals when the immune system failed to give their over-all support.  

Vitamin E was composed of many chemical forms like delta tocopherol, beta, gamma and alpha, delta tocopherol and beta gamma. Each one of them has specific biological activity in the body.

The presence of free radicals is the effect of polluted environment (air pollution) from industrial fumes, vehicle smoke emission, cigarette smoke and other toxic chemicals in the manufacture of industrial products and consumer goods. The ultraviolet radiation of the sun invites free radicals to damage the human cells.

Vitamin E gives human cells enough protection against harmful effect of free radicals. Once the cells are damaged, many major diseases appear. It was found that it causes terminal cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin E stops the production of reactive oxygen species especially if the fat goes into oxidative process. With vitamin E, it assists prevention of chronic diseases. Once the immune system is affected, the entire body system is vulnerable and under the mercy of free radicals. To remove it from the body if it is already penetrated deep in the cells is quite impossible.

Its anti-inflammatory agents inhibit platelet aggregation. It enhance the immune system to defend from the attack to the cells and keep it healthy. With regulr intake of vitamin E (fruits, vegetables, nuts and other dietary foods including supplements prevents or delay coronary heart and cardiovascular diseases. It prevents oxidation of low-density lipo-protein (LDL) cholesterol. 

Elevation of cholesterol level may create plaque to block the coronary passes of the blood in arteries, capillaries and veins.

Vitamin E has major role in the prevention of the formation of blood clots where many incidents of heart attack occurred. With regular intake, it lowers the risk of heart disease. With better eye vision, vitamin E found to be helpful in the treatment of macular degeneration due to old age. It antagonize vitamin K-dependent clotting factors.

It controls breakdown of body tissues. It protects essential fatty acids including vitamin A from oxidation in the cells of the body. It assists in the production of red blood cells.

Best sources of vitamin E are soybean oil, broccoli, spinach, olive oil, corn oil, hazelnut, peanut butter, dry roasted peanuts, raw tomato, mango, almond, sunflower seeds and oil, wheat germ oil. Other sources are liver, nuts, eggs, mayonnaise, vegetable oils, dark-green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, avocado, yams and asparagus.

Health conditions will occur if there is Vitamin E deficiency:

It cause muscle weakness and tiredness. There is loss of muscle mass. It has abnormal eye movement, vision problem and other eye defects. It leads to liver and kidney disease. There will be premature infant lacking full development at the early stage of his life. It is difficult for the liver to secrete bile into the digestive tract. Normal transmission of nerve impulses is hampered and slower in its action. Too much deficiency causes cystic fibrosis, a major health disease.

This is how important Vitamin E for is to the general wellness of the body. Take it and you will be in the arms of better health.

Health condition has its own remedy to relieve, lessen or prevent the impact of the disease. All vitamins and minerals have the ability to prevent whatever deficiency the body is lacking.  

Vitamin E is one of most important vitamins to prevent the deterioration of cell growth caused by the damaging free radicals. As the human cell dies, the immune system can no longer protect the human body against infections. The formation of terminal disease is the result of lack of necessary prevention.  The use of vitamin E gives promise to prevent free radicals to take total control of the body.

THE METABOLIC PROCESSES IN THE BODY

Why some of us are fat and some are not? What causes it? Why our belly was easily expand gaining weight to restrict easy movement? The change in the condition of our body has something to do with metabolism that governed the kind of shape we have and the existing health condition we are experiencing. Sugar is carbohydrates. All foods that are rich in carbohydrates or protein is converted into energy.

Speeding up the metabolic process depends on the kind of food we take. Low fat food is less harmful compared to foods that were heavy laden with saturated fat. But they both give changes to a shape that we want to avoid but hesitant to make alteration in our own dietary plan.

Many of us are trying to regain control what has been lost in the normal condition of the body. They initiated certain kind of physical exercise for the purpose of losing weight but the effort becomes a failure.

The body insisted on speeding up the metabolism maybe because of other factors that involve that cause the slowing down of its responses.

Metabolism is one kind of process that allows the body to convert food into energy. The body needs large amount of energy level for the various body organs to be able to carry-out its essential and individual function. Any failure in metabolic process will result to disease. The internal processing system temporary stopped reacting. The life-circulating blood as the basic building block for life was affected.

Metabolism is responsible in the conversion of oxygen into carbon dioxide. It is responsible in removing any harmful and potentially lethal waste out of the body through the kidneys. It protects the basic building block the life circulation blood from impurities that may affect its life-giving performance.

Metabolic process is one aspect of body function. There are many interaction happened inside the body, series of chemical conversion taking place every day or at all times through metabolic functioning.

Metabolism is a continuing process that involves 2 opposing faction. The anabolism create cell by using certain amount of energy while catabolism create energy by breaking down cells. So metabolism allows the body to create or breakdown cells depending on the urgency of its use.

Anabolism principal function is to create tissues and cells to replace that are considered dead cells or dysfunctional (inactive) cells. The purpose of creating new skin cells is to clot the blood. The function enables the cut skin to heal slowly and easily. But catabolism functioned in different directions. The activity of the body is to breakdown the cell is to create energy to be able to carry out its normal function.

It is a fact to know that the body needed enough oxygen. If there is additional energy, it caused the breathing to increase considerably. The body taking in oxygen and getting rid out of the body the carbon dioxide. This was the normal process for the normal body functioning.

To measure energy we used a unit of measure called calories. The body has no ability to differentiate was in good or bad energy. It doesn’t care to know the source of the energy. The incapacity of the body to determine what energy is healthy or not healthy is the reason of laxity of control of gaining weight. The body always accepted whatever kinds of foods taken to the mouth. As the body received a calorie from the food eaten, he converted the energy to something he chooses.

 He may use the energy (calories) to create new cells and tissues or he will that energy (calories) to breakdown the cells. The body can utilize energy it can afford to handle and used in any given time. If there were excess calories from the food taken, the body is forced to use that energy to create cells. With the process of anabolism, the extra amount of calories will become additional weight. It further increases weight gain to higher level. Too many calories in the body brought higher energy level. The body was forced to convert the excess calories to become fat.

Getting rid of weight gain can only be done through physical activity. Burning calories is the only solution to be able to reduce weight. Exercise can cause energy output, thereby reducing fat quantity in the body. Developing a strong muscle tone can burn calories more as it boost metabolism to handle excess calories and burned it down before it can establish to become fat. 

It is important that there is a continues building of muscle and maintaining it at all times so that only extra calories in the body can be handled properly to bring goodness instead bringing harm to the already fragile situation of the body form.

A LITTLE EXERCISE IS A LIFETIME OF HEALTH

It gives internal energy to trigger responsive action that benefits health.

Exercise makes the brain more active and can easily response to give optimum performance. It induces mental alertness and memory enhancement. The brain will work tirelessly and has good mental focus.

Exercise restores the waning energy. It replenishes what had been lost and recharge again for another day’s work. The body becomes revitalize and ready to face another challenge during the day by stretching limbs and muscles.

The disadvantage of lessening the interest of performing physical fitness is that you can tire easily even without working too much. Climbing stairs make you gasping for breath because the systems are not accustomed to do little pressure.  Running short distance beats your heart fast weakening and draining your energy.

If you always rest, you don’t have the appetite to work. Sitting in your chairs most of the time or sleeping anytime of the day will only worsen your laziness instead of doing things useful.

 It starts to clog your arteries and small veins narrowing the space. Once the blood clot in the vessels blocking the normal flow of blood in its intended distribution lines, it ex explodes then heart attack will occur. The victim will die prematurely because of the kind of lifestyle they engage without burning enough fat to loosen the fat from where it hides. This is the reason we have to be more cautious to the level of our cholesterol. If found to reach to dangerous level then rigid physical activities is necessary to burn lore fats and reduce the threat.

It is hard to stop eating your favorite food laden with fats. You give much importance is what it satisfies you. You are after the feeling of satisfaction because the taste bud says so. The pleasure of eating was the reason of many deaths. They knew the effect but they are deaf enough to listen to what is the proper way to do.

It is not a compulsory attitude to exercise too much because some person that has illness is not recommended to be tired but little exercise may help to stretch the muscles even a light walk around will do.

Instead of sitting in your chair and seeing your favorite program often while munching snacks containing fat - you better change your belief and shapes up. Once you reach adulthood or middle years in your life or the later stages of old age, to stay fit and healthy is the best way to live longer.  The elasticity of the muscles diminished, the energy waned and the bones can easily snap even in a little twist. This is the age of disease. The aged are susceptible to many diseases. The fitness of the body can survive for many years more.

Exercise for adults gives their body better posture, flexibility and joint mobility of the muscles. It preserves and keeps steady their strength. It stimulates the function of the circulatory system for effective distribution of blood.

A little exercise means a lot of benefits to have sound body and mind may it be emotional, physical and mental, all in one, exercise can answer all these needs.
