Athletes know that heavy strenuous exercise can lead to traumatic injury of muscle, bone, cartilage and ligaments. What you may not know is that extremely heavy exercise may lead to chemical oxidative radical injury to your body. Oxidative radicals, now being actively studied by medical scientists, are like terrorists that use chemical warfare to attack proteins and fats. Oxidative radicals delay muscle recovery from heavy exercise causing soreness and cause damage to internal damage to heart, lung, brain and joints. Other internal damage ascribed to oxidative radicals includes aging, cancer, ALS, Parkinson’s, neurodegenerative diseases, cataracts, retinal degeneration of the eye, skin aging and other conditions. Oxidative radicals are created in your body though normal metabolism and increased still further by heavy exercise, smoking, stress, sun exposure, toxins and radiation. Your body makes internal antioxidants to help neutralize these injurious oxidative radicals, but sometimes they are overwhelmed. Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the doctor who popularized running to improve health, in his book Advanced Nutritional Therapies, assembled more than 150 cases of elite athletes who developed classic oxidative diseases. Among these diseases are various cancers - including brain tumors, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and premature heart disease. Many elite athletes who only recently quit competing experience premature degenerative arthritis of the hip, and knee requiring joint replacement surgery. What should the athlete do to fight oxidative radicals? First, while eating a diet of at least five fruits and vegetables everyday are good sources of antioxidants, it is very difficult to get enough needed antioxidants from this source alone. To help your own internally produced antioxidants, many physicians now recommend that athletes take extra dietary antioxidants. Secondly, in addition to a good diet, I strongly recommend that athletes take an antioxidant blend, such as Nucare.com antioxidant product called MegaDeoxidant. Our own scientific advisory team using the latest scientific studies in choosing its special ingredients formulated this special antioxidant blend. © 1999 All rights reserved The Doc Joc |
