It Is A Puzzlement To Me

       I have been doing some studying lately on the subject of free radicals. There is no way we are

going to avoid them. They are just there. We make free radicals, or I should say our body makes. free radicals from the oxygen we breath. So there is no way short of stop breathing that we are going to stop making free radicals.
      Taking vitamins and supplements as well as eatting the right foods will help keep some free radicals down. But they are there.
     When we exercise we are opening ourselves up to free radicals. but it is not healthy to stop exercising, so there is a puzzlement there. We need to exercise to stay in good health. When we exercise we breath in more oxygen. oxygen can cause free radicals to grow. Free radicals steal electrons from our good cells causing more free radicals. The mutated cells turn on the body and age it and somethimes become cancer cells. But we need the exercise.And to a certain extent we may need the free radicals.
   To fight against the excess free radicals we should be taking antioxidants such as C and E and A to name a few. 
    I look at our body builders of old, Jack LaLanne comes to mind, who lived to a very old age. What was their secret? For sure the free radicals were active in their body. They aged, sure, but they stayed in good condition. So nutrition and exercise are good even if this substance called free radicals is present.
