Imagine you're a cell.

Inside your body runs the machinery that creates life itself. But as that machinery keeps running, day after day, you begin to get worn out - the friction and the processes that cause damage (here the "free-radicals" - highly destructive little entities generated by biochemical processes, as well as pollutants, UV radiation and other sources) start to create havoc and you begin to lose the battle to disease, old age and ultimately death.

Oxidative Stress and Free Radicals
Hardening of the arteries, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cancer, arthritis, macular degeneration even wrinkles are just a few of "diseases of aging" that are caused in large part by what scientist call "oxidative stress".

Indeed, this "oxidative theory of aging" is probably the most accepted theory of aging. Not that aging is not multi-factorial, mind you, but that oxidation is major factor in most "aging" and is perhaps the most studied, generally agreed upon, and proven factor related to the process we call aging.

In most Western societies the average weight of the population has been slowly increasing over the years. Compared to twenty years ago, the average American today is five pounds heavier, even though the average amount of food intake has decreased. Since the quantity of food has decreased, the cause in increased body weight must therefore be mostly due to insufficient exercise participation.

Although not as significant as inactivity, wrong food choices may also be a contributor to the problem. There is a growing problem of obesity incidence in North America, Europe and other developed countries. Obesity has been linked to many life-threatening diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

80 Million Year Old Bee May Hold Key To Survival

Sun, 2 Jan 2005 11:04:23 +0530

Several years ago, the perfectly preserved body of a bee, encased in amber, was put on display in the Museum of Natural History in New York City. It was carbon-dated to be at least 80 million years old, but may be up to 135 million years old. The little bee, was probably caught in a glob of tree sap while out on a mission of gathering the sticky fluid for the production of propolis. Propolis is the antiseptic or antibiotic that bees produce to keep their colonies protected from invasion by disease. It is believed that they keep their settlements more sterile and free from bacteria than a modern hospital.
