In order to build muscle you need to
create cellular damage.
Not exact matches
These nuts are exceptionally rich with selenium, which helps flush mercury out of the body and help
create antioxidants that prevent
cellular damage.
One reason might be the role of fat in inducing oxidative stress and
creating free radicals, which are highly reactive atoms and molecules that
damage DNA and
cellular walls, ultimately killing heart muscle cells.
Similar to the physical and
cellular burn of exercise that
creates some oxidizing free radicals, the «stress» from cruciferous vegetables stimulates our mitochondria to produce homemade antioxidants to counterbalance the oxidation and protect our vital DNA.28 Even cancer cells have caught on to this central role of our mitochondria — the bastards can amplify their levels of some of these same pathways — further stressing their importance for survival.25 However, our cells still seem to have the upper hand, as multiple studies show that the organosulfur chemicals in many of these anticancer vegetables can severely stress cancer cells, leading to oxidative
damage, and ultimately, death.29
Mitochondrial
damage further drains
cellular energy by
creating a disproportionate need for repair, perpetuating a vicious cycle.21 Mitochondrial dysfunction can affect immunity, digestion, cognition and any energy - intensive system within the body and is a key component of many chronic illnesses.
A review published in «Antioxidants Sport Nutrition» in 2015 also notes that green tea's antioxidant activity may be especially beneficial for preventing
cellular damage caused by exercise, since your body burns more calories and
creates more free radicals during exercise.
Hard training
creates damage at a
cellular level.
Manganese has the important role of protecting mitochondria — the
cellular structures that
create energy — from
damage caused by free radicals.
