Read lately in a newspaper article from Spokane, Washington how the country’s local, state and national governments are not budgeting enough money to keep up the local rails and public transportation.  Rather more money is put into building and maintaining roads, bridges, etc.  In other words laying more concrete and asphalt rather than making a better train system like in Europe and start eliminating cars thus pollution, creating more green spaces, etc.

Are we not looking at the big picture?

This pollution from too many cars on the road flows over to our bodies.  Most of all our major diseases, heart, cancer, diabetes, auto immune  can be trace to oxidative damage.

Oxidative damage or stress is caused by free radicals.

“The free-radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. While a few free radicals such as melanin are not chemically reactive, most biologically-relevant free radicals are highly reactive. For most biological structures, free radical damage is closely associated with oxidative damage. Antioxidants are reducing agents, and limit oxidative damage to biological structures by passivating free radicals.” Wikipedia, free encyclopedia

As per the above definition we can reduce the amount of oxidative stress by taking antioxidants.

This is how I became a network marketer, my immune system had been compromised and I needed to turn it around.  I started taking recommended vitamin supplements from a direct sales company.  I never looked back, the vitamins were scientifically based formulas including 2-3oz of olive oil.  If you look at charts that show the healthiest people in the world, the Mediterranean area is #1 due to the fact that they have olive oil in their diet.

I ask you to take a good look at what you are doing for your immunological health.

What can you do!

Make noise, write letters to your local governments, and get more money spent on public transportation.

Look at what you are putting into your personal body, good food, exercise and a good antioxidant.  If you are not sure of which ones, compare them.

To your health and mine,
