free radical absorbent and
increases oxygen levels.
At the hearing, Carpenter suggested that cell phones may
increase the brain's production of reactive forms of
oxygen called
free radicals, which can interact with and damage DNA.
Increased blood circulation nourishes the skin cells with
oxygen and nutrients to keep your cells healthy and vital and by carrying away waste products, like
free radicals.
The other study on simulated digestion was similar: wild raspberries inhibited reactive
oxygen species (
free radical) generation, stabilised cell membranes, and
increased glutathione levels.
Because of an
increased oxygen requirement during exercise, the harder you hit the gym, the more
free radicals you produce.
Exercise
increases oxygen flow into the brain, which reduces brain - bound
free radicals.
Similarly, unsupported
oxygen metabolism due to lack of antioxidant nutrients has been shown to result in oxidative stress, excessive formation of
free radicals, and a metabolic environment that
increases risk of cancer development.
So, the thinking is that lower methionine intake leads to less
free radical production — the so - called «reactive
oxygen species,» which slows the rate of DNA damage, which then would slow the rate of DNA mutation, slowing the rate of aging and disease — thereby potentially
increasing our lifespan.

free radicals» (reactive molecules created during
oxygen metabolism)
increases heart cell damage.
The therapeutic dotential of dietary precursor modulation by a fish - oil - supplemented diet (n - 3 fatty acids), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (C20: 5,n - 3) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22: 6,n - 3) in the therapy of ulcerative colitis has been shown to result in a 35 % to 50 % decrease in neutrophil production of LTB4.28 Significant improvement in symptoms and histologic appearance of the rectal mucosa has been observed in several small series of patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis given fish oil at 3 to 4 g daily for 2 to 6 months in uncontrolled studies.29 However, a larger, randomized, double - blind trial comprising 96 patients with ulcerative colitis failed to reveal any benefit in remission maintenance or treatment of relapse on 4.5 g of eicosapentaenoic acid daily, despite a significant reduction in LTB4 synthesis by blood peripheral polymorphonuclear cells.30 It should be emphasized, however, that the anti-inflammatory actions of the fish oils, in addition to inhibition of LTB4, include suppression of IL - 1 and platelet activating factor synthesis and scavenging of
free oxygen radicals.30 The impact of
increased lipid peroxidation after fish oil supplementation should be considered when altering the n - 6: n - 3 fatty acid ratio.31 Antioxidant supplementation may be able to counteract the potentially adverse effects of n - 3 fatty acids.
