hey guys so there’s been a lot of

complexity and confusion around

antioxidants and free radicals so I

wanted to create a short video to

explain the simplicity of it okay so we

take a look at most atoms which are

composed of electrons protons and

neutrons okay that form molecules and

chemistry in the physical universe this

is kind of like the building blocks most

atoms have paired electrons so they kind

of balance each other out a free radical

has unpaired electrons so we have

electron on one side but not on the

other so if you can envision kind of a

disk spinning with maybe a weight on one

side and you spin it it’s going to be

lopsided it’s going to go around and

create a lot of damage but if we take a

weight and balance it out it’ll spin

really nice and symmetrical so free

radicals create damage on ourselves and

the DNA and the mitochondria they create

a lot of oxidation just like you would

get rust in a car same thing can happen

in our bodies so example of things that

give off free radicals are the

irradiation different chemicals hydrogen

peroxide if you have some in your house

and you poured it on an open wound to

clean it you can see it just fizzes and

just starts to oxidize the tissue that’s

hydrogen peroxide and then we have

something called free iron or free

copper and the body iron and copper is

normally bound to protein but it’s very

dangerous when it’s free to create havoc

so these two are considered free

radicals and then we have high levels of

sugar which creates a lot of oxidation

in the arteries of our bodies and the

tissues

now antioxidants basically donate an

electron to neutralize or stop the free

radicals so they donate an electron to

balance it out okay

so thereby neutralizing the damaging

effects of these guys right here so that

would be the vitamin C vitamin E alpha

lipoic acid selenium compounds which

work with glutathione beta carotene

which is a part of the vitamin a complex

coenzyme q-10 so you’d get these in

super foods leafy greens

Sepphoris a lot of healthy foods so it’s

really just a matter of avoiding the

things that create oxidation and

consuming the things that balance in

repair and neutralize these things right

here all right thanks for watching so
