Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress is a major contributing factor of many diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and heart disease.
It occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals (oxidants) and antioxidants in the body in favor of free radicals.
Many people describe oxidative stress as unable to be your normal self, low energy, brain fog, irritability and greater sensitivity to other stressors.
it occurs for example when you eat a burger, packet of chips, or virtually anything processed, the low antioxidant to energy ratio and presence of free radicals from the cooking process induce oxidative stress in the body.
Overtime, these oxidative insults contribute to chronic redox imbalance (oxidative stress) which can cause and exacerbate disease processes.
Studies show diet is the largest external factor of oxidative stress in addition to smoking, alcohol and radiation.
In fact, in Western society, the vast majority of peoples diets are net-oxidized due to the abundance of processed food leading to high levels of oxidative stress in the population and poor health outcomes.
Many people only consider macronutrient and micronutrient intake as a measure of dietary quality instead of antioxidant type and quantity, subsequently failing to get enough of certain antioxidants and neglecting a key aspect of health.
In order to reduce the net oxidative load of the diet, we developed RedoxDiet to reduce free radicals in the diet.
The RedoxDiet suggests foods which naturally balance each-others antioxidant and pro-oxidant characteristics based on their respective redox profiles, so you can reduce net oxidative load without restrictive eating.
I’d like to invite you try a RedoxDiet product for free in Adelaide so you can see for yourself what effect reducing your dietary oxidative load has on your quality of life.
