Fundamentals Of Healing And Recovery - The Building Blocks For Restoring Optimal Health

Let's face it: Life is rough. Just the simple act of breathing releases a hoard of destructive molecules into your system that, left unchecked, ravage your cells and DNA, creating inflammation and a host of other problems. Every other metabolic activity in your body creates even more of these free radicals. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, stress, toxins from the pollution of our air, water and food, as well as excessive exercise, all create added burdens of oxidative stress.

To some degree, this is all normal and nothing to be concerned about. A healthy body has a marvelous capacity to detoxify and heal itself; and, normal levels of free radicals can be easily neutralized with proper diet.

The problem is: in the world in which we live and the life-style that is typically modern, we're not facing "normal levels" of free radicals. Stress and pollution can overwhelm the defensive capacities of a proper diet; and, a "proper diet" is harder and harder to achieve as our lives become more hectic and the quality of our food continues to diminish. (Today, you would need to eat 10 servings of vegetables to get the nutritional value of one serving 50 years ago.)

Simply put: our bodies are being torn apart from the inside.

In order to maintain or regain optimal health, it's imperative that we: Stop the ravages of free radicals, and Repair the damage of oxidative stress.

Accomplishing this is a relatively simple task, if you use the right building blocks.

To reduce damage from oxidative stress, it's important to lessen the free radical load. Choosing to live more simply, lowering stress levels and your exposure to toxic chemicals makes a good beginning. But, the deficiencies of a modern diet must also be addressed. For this, it's imperative to take a good, broad-spectrum dietary supplement, as well as antioxidants, which counteract the corrosive activity of free radicals.

Antioxidant activity is rated by the ORAC scale, which measures the oxygen radical absorption capacity of different substances as micromole Trolox equivalent (TE) per 100 grams (µTE/100 g).

Among the best food sources for antioxidant are wolfberries, pomegranates, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. You can get these blended together in a super antioxidant juice called NingXia Red. However, by far the most powerful antioxidants in the world are therapeutic-grade essential oils.

But, while antioxidants work to neutralize the destructive power of free radicals, taking a stem cell enhancer will support the body's innate renewal system, so that it can repair the damage already done through oxidative stress.

Normally, adult stem cells are released from the bone marrow into the blood stream. When body tissues are stressed, stem cells are drawn into the tissues, where they replace dysfunctional cells with healthy ones. But, things today aren't normal; our bodies must continually deal with the stresses of daily life; so, it's important to add the yin to antioxidants' yang.

StemEnhance is the only product on the market today that substantially supports the body's innate renewal system as a stem cell enhancer.
