Antioxidants improve Ageing
New Title
Have you ever run out of bed in the morning?
When your blood gets cleaned up, most likely you will be running out of bed with less achiness and much more energy. Oxidation in the body slows us down and is equal to having rust in our pipes, so to speak.
Free Radicals- What are they and where do they come from?
Free radicals hang out in the blood and are created when there is oxidation in the system. Oxidation can come from heavy metals, bad fats, and environmental toxins.
Fried food example: oils that are heated past the melting point create free radicals that are not broken down easily by the body and are stored in the tissues and circulate in the blood.
Trans fats are an example. Trans fats have such a high melting point that the body can not digest them and they are stored in the tissue. It becomes obvious as intra abdominal fat and cellulite as well as poor heart health.
Trans fats and free radicals interfere with the essential fat absorption which feeds the heart. Trans fats compete with the heart's receptors and block the good fat which is fuel for the heart. A lifetime of eating processed foods with trans fats creates a weak nutritionally starved heart.
Toxins and heavy metals from food, air, and the environment accumulate. The great news is that at RELAX HOLISTIC we can help you DETOX and cleanse the body with special detoxifying herbs and supplements that we recommend based on a Symptom Survey Form.

- The only pump for the lymphatic system are the contraction of calve muscles during walking or exercise. The lymphatic system is part of the immune system that is responsible in part for creating T and B-cells against bacterial infections. Exercising on a daily basis keeps the lymphatic system pumping and moving. When the lymph stagnates and is not renewed, illness and reduced immunity occur because of the free radicals.
