Half peel your banana and have it
Please don’t separate peel

WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS?
• Free radicle is an uncharged molecule
(typically highly reactive and short-lived)
having an unpaired valency electron
• They attack other cells for electrons,
causing damage and contributing to many
diseases

WHAT CAUSES FREE RADICALS?
• They often occur as a result of normal metabolic
processes. For example, when your body uses
oxygen, it creates free radicals as a by-product and
the damage caused by those free radicals is
called "oxidative stress.“
• But your metabolism isn't the only culprit.
• You can also be exposed to free radicals that come
from various environmental sources such as
radiation, drugs, pesticides, solvents, cigarette
smoke, and other pollutants.
• Free radicle damage is a slow process, where it is
rarely known unless you are keen about it
• And a big list of other reasons…
We can’t stop all, but can decrease the damage
13. 13
WHAT IS OXIDATIVE STRESS
• Oxidative Stress is a condition of imbalance in free radicals and antioxidant defences
• Free radicals damage cells over time, so eventually whatever organ those cells belong to isn't going to function
quite as well as it should
• For example, a connective tissue called collagen gets weaker with free radical exposure, and as a result, your
skin gets more wrinkles.
• Also, the walls of your arteries can get damaged, and cholesterol plaques build-up, which can reduce blood
flow to your heart, brain, and other organs, or cause blood clots
• This damage leads to genetic changes too. Severe Oxidative Stress some times disrupts the structure of DNA
& Chromosomes
14. 14
EFFECTS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS
• When you're young and healthy, your body does a
pretty good job of dealing with these free radicals, and
you don't even notice anything
• If you don't eat right, smoke, or are exposed to a lot of
environmental sources of free radicals, your risk for
cellular and organ damage goes up.
• And aging takes its toll on your free radical defense
system too
• Excessive free radical exposure is associated with an
increased risk of chronic diseases, like heart disease
and cancer
16. 16
WHAT DO CELLS DO
• Our body always try to combat Oxidative stress in all ways
• Long term exposure to oxidative stress leads to damage of cells and production of toxic wastes
• As a process of ageing & due to exposure to toxins & free radical attack, cells tend to thicken their walls
• You can see tender skin in babies and skin thickens as you age
18. 18
CRACKED HEEL EXAMPLE
• Cracked heels are a sign of Oxidative Stress caused by
dust
• Your feet tend to change according to the environment
you live and the condition you give
• Your skin hardens as you age and as they under go
more stress
• The same happens to your internal organs too
• The inner cells tend to become toxic, hard and are more
prone to problems/diseases
Note: Not to be intended as avoiding walking barefoot. Barefooting is actually good for you
19. 19
CELL TOXICITY & DAMAGE
Due to hardening of cell membranes, cells
will loose their ability to absorb nutrients and
expel cellular metabolic waste leading to cell
or organ damage
Oxidative Stress directly influences this cellular toxicity and cell/organ damage
This effects different organs according to the stress you undergo
20. 20
EFFECTS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS - EXAMPLES
• Smoking – Lung Cancer
• Drinking – Liver Damage
• Sleeping Less – Insomnia
• Processed foods - Obesity
• Unhealthy Food – Digestion Disorders
• Pollution / Dust – Irritation & Allergy
• Metal Toxicity – Organ Disfunction
• Bacteria / Virus – Immune Disfunction
• Radiation – Mutations / Tumours
• Chemical Toxicity – Irritability & Breathing
• Lack of Exercise – Alzheimer's & Amnesia
The amount of damage and your cellular
damage is directly proportional to the
amount of oxidative stress you undergo
Different kids of stress damages different
kinds of organs
21. 21
CAN WE STOP FREE RADICLE DAMAGE?
• We can’t stop external factors like automobile
and environment pollution
• But we can do something to reduce its effect
24. 24
WHAT DO THEY DO Antioxidants donate electron to Free radicals and
make them stabilize, thus protecting our body from
Oxidative Stress & Cellular Damage
25. 25
BENEFITS OF ANTIOXIDANTS
• Antioxidants decreases cell damage
• Protects organs from toxic damage
• Boosting your antioxidant defences can help
reduce your risk
• Indeed, studies show that eating a diet high in
antioxidants is associated with better health.
• People who have a high intake of antioxidants
might be in better health.
• For example, individuals who eat healthily also
tend to be more physically active and more
likely to maintain proper caloric intake
26. 26
CELLULAR NUTRITION
CONCEPT
• Cellular nutrition is a science-based unique blend of
high quality bio-available plant nutrients programmed
to act at the cellular level to maximize the absorption
and effectiveness of vitamins and minerals in order to
maintain a healthy microbiome and keep the body
functioning optimally.
• By using cellular nutrition, you're cleaning up your
body cells of toxins, which is helping all your body cells
to become active again
– like when you were a kid, so they will be able to
absorb the daily essential nutrients and vitamins
from foods and supplements
28. 28
ANTIOXIDANT RICH FOODS
• Berries
• Cherries
• Citrus fruits
• Prunes
• Dark leafy greens
• Broccoli
• Carrots
• Tomatoes
• Olives
• Fish and nuts
• Vitamin E
• Vitamin C
• Turmeric
• Green tea
• Melatonin
• Onion
• Garlic
• Cinnamon
One method of preventing oxidative stress is to ensure that you’re
obtaining enough antioxidants in your diet. Eating five servings per day
of a variety of fruits and vegetables is the best way to provide your
body what it needs to produce antioxidants
30. 30
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
• A regular, moderate exercise routine
• Don’t smoke (avoid exposure to secondhand smoke as well)
• Use chemicals with caution
• Be environmentally conscious
• Wear sunscreen
• Decrease your alcohol intake
• Get plenty of sleep
• Avoid overeating
– Over eating in a single day puts your body under immense oxidative
stress
32. 32
WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?
Free radical attack or Oxidative stress is a slow process which we cant recognize
Have you observed any environmental change around
you?
Any sudden raise in pollution? Any chemical toxicity?
Any weather change? Did it smoke?
Now observe the differences in
peeled & unpeeled part
Why the Banana peel lost its life?
33. 33
WE HAVE TO BE NUTRITIONALLY STRONG
Now apply some Vaseline to banana before peeling off. It will have life for some extra
time.
But unpeeled banana will have more life because its skin is being supported with inner
nutrition.
Banana and its peel are in symbiotic relationship. They protect each other
Unripen banana has good skin – because of
high nutritional & antioxidant content
Ripen banana has spotted skin – due to less
nutrition and high sugar content
Same applies to our body.
External applications are temporary.
Start giving Cellular Nutrition to your body.
The more early you start, the more beneficial
you are
