Drinking ASEA provides a match to unpaired free radicals, it also provides a match for other dangerous free floating atoms in your body but that’s another post...

A visual example of free radicals that we have all seen is when you cut an apple, leave it laying out for a short time, and it turns brown. Free radicals at work!

They are simple molecules with an electron missing. In an effort to become ‘whole’ again they seek out other chemical structures in our bodies from where they can steal an electron.

After they ‘acquire’ an electron the chemical structure/tissue from where they ‘stole’ that electron is left seriously damaged!

So the definition of free radicals, regarding the human body, are unstable oxygen molecules that can do damage to your cells, organs and body as a whole.

And it’s not as if free radicals mean to cause harm. They are basically unstable molecules looking to be stable again.

Each free radical is capable of destroying an enzyme, protein molecule or a complete cell. They can multiply by process of a chain reaction. These reactive substances can damage cell structures so badly that immunity is impaired and DNA codes are altered.

This process is called oxidation, much like what happens to that rusted nail or the cut apple. Similarly, if our cells are left unprotected, a similar process can occur inside the body, with imminent and progressive damage.

Free Radicals, Oxidative Damage and Related Health Conditions:

Sadly, this is only the tip of the iceberg of disease and health problems related to free radicals and oxidative stress. With over 1,100 different families of free radicals known to exist today, the list grows and grows.

How do free radicals get into our bodies?

* From Within – as natural by-products of ongoing biochemical reactions occurring in normal metabolic functions, in the detoxification processes and in the immune system defense.
* From Outside – free radicals (better yet! – free radical generating substances) can be found in the food we eat, in our water supplies (especially after chemicals and pollutants have entered into them), toxic chemicals we walk on, rub past, breathe in, and touch, certain drugs and medicines we ingest and the air we breathe.
* Our environment contributes immensely to the spread of free radicals, as do processes like drugs, radiation, pesticides, air pollutants, solvents, fried foods, alcohol, tobacco smoke, etc. – All the things most of us are exposed to all the time.

Natural Solutions to Counteract the Damage of Free Radicals:

Some of the highest ranked antioxidant foods in four major categories are as follows:

Fruits: blueberries, cranberries, and blackberries.

Vegetables: beans, artichoke hearts, and surprisingly, russet potatoes.

Nuts: pecans, walnuts, and hazelnuts.

Spices: cinnamon, oregano, and ground cloves.

Keep in mind, however, that recent science has revealed that these anti-oxidants can’t be unlocked except in the presence of redox signaling molecules... which are in every bottle of ASEA. Without enough redox signaling molecules in your body, anti-oxidants just float right out of your system unused and unlocked. ASEA provides the signaling capacity to make the electron transfer happen, to close the loop, negating further damage. Every body needs ASEA.
