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.
     Readers, maybe you can help.

Exercise and Obesity

     I read in this morning LA Times that exercise may be up  . This is along with the fact that obesity is going up also. And they are scratching their heads. Exercise is supposed to burn those extra calories that add up to obesity.
      Doing extra exercise is good. In fact I use did have an exercise website but it is no more. But I do have a vitamin site and a blog that hooks to it. In fact the blog discusses in less than 200 words each a use for or the benefits of the vitamin. 
       To me it is simple why there is exercise yet still obesity. We are a trash food people. We tend to stop at fast food restaurants like Jack In The Box ,Windy's and Taco Bell. The food there is high in sodium ( which could give us high blood pressure) and extra carbohydrates which will just turn to fat cells and contribute to obesity.
       No matter how much exercise we manage to do we don't burn off enough calories and fat reserve.
       By stopping at those trash-- excuse me-- fast food places we fill our stomachs but lower our nutritional reserve.
       For exercise we should walk more and run more. We can also ride our bikes more.        Or even, if we are into sweating more, use weights.

         What ever you do get those extra pounds off that lead to obesity
