Another little piece of the jigsaw puzzle of life fell into place this week while I was drafting a flyer for the upcoming Fitness and Health Expo. It was the body’s three step process of repairing free radical damage and the things I’ve included in my bars and powders to support that. Here’s the text of the flyer. Hopefully you get something from it.
How to maintain your health by repairing post-exercise free radical damage
Let me share some exciting data with you that will have an enormous impact on the power & quality of your post-exercise recovery strategy.
Good food & supplements should provide energy, strength and stamina and aid post-exercise recovery and repair. My nutrition bars and powders do that and a whole lot more. The “whole lot more” is the reason my bars and powders could be the healthiest food you ever eat.
A free radical is one or a group of atoms missing an oxygen electron. Every time you eat or exercise, your body suffers free radical damage.
The more you exercise, the more free radical damage your body suffers.
Free radical damage is one of 5 key factors in degenerative diseases.
The good news is that your body has a 3 stage solution to directly address and reverse free radical damage. The bad news is that until now, nobody has told you about this 3 stage process and how to reinforce it. As a result of not knowing this, most diets are nutrient deficient – they lead to premature aging and early death.
I have specifically researched and included dozens of ingredients in my top bars and powders to speed and improve your body’s 3 stage process of repairing free radical damage.
Here are the three steps your body takes and how my products support and enhance each step…
1. Antioxidants
Antioxidants are the first line of nutritional defense. They supply the missing oxygen electron to revert a free radical. Research shows antioxidants are not additive, they are multiplicative in their effect. Any combination of antioxidants does more good than the sum of each one. Like 1 + 1 = 3. So take your vitamin C & E at the same time.
Now, imagine taking 90 or 156 different antioxidants at the same time!
Every ingredient in my top bars and powders is an antioxidant.
2. Glutathione Boosters
Glutathione is the master antioxidant. It restores antioxidants to active duty after they have donated an electron to a free radical. Researchers found the only two things 100 year olds had in common were a positive mental attitude and high levels of glutathione. Unfortunately, glutathione supplements are not absorbed by the digestive system. (Note: taking a vitamin C tablet does more to boost glutathione levels than taking a glutathione supplement.)
I include over a dozen ingredients to boost your glutathione levels.
(My top bars have 17 and my Nutri-BlastTM nutrition powder has 15.)
3. Stem Cell Release Boosters
Stem cells are made in the bones. They contain the genetic blueprint to become nearly any other type of cell in the body. Stem cells surf the blood stream on a “find and replace damaged cells mission”. When a stem cell finds a damaged cell, the stem cell evolves and replaces it. The damaged cell is then picked up by the liver for recycling.
So the more stem cells you have in your blood, the more damaged cells are replaced before they can do harm. You can imagine how much more important this is to a very active body compared to a sedentary one!
I include in my powders and top bars 7 ingredients that research has shown increases the release of stem cells from your bones.
I have a few other goals for my top bars you can read about on this page: http://www.healthelicious.com.au/eXtreme-Nutrition-Bar.html

P.S. The faster you repair cells, the less damage your body suffers!
