The media and commercial press are bombarding us with many messages on just what are anti-oxidants and how exactly do they work in the body. Thermogenix(http://www.tgx360.cm/) has researched this subject vastly and has found out that anti-oxidants should become a regular part of ones daily regimen and lifestyle.
The culture today has transformed into an automated world where we are only satisfied with or only have time for fast foods, fast drinks, and a fast life. It's time to slow down a minute or two and count how many "toxic hits" our body's system must be accumulating daily.
It starts at the rush in the morning, we stuff ourselves with high sugar high caffienated drinks and maybe a piece of white toast adding to the adrenal stress already started by the food's production of nervous energy scrambling our brains. Corticosteroids released from stress also affect our immune systme causimg suppresive effects reducing our resistance to physical,mental, emotional and environmental hardships on the body. We are already worn down before the day begins.
The smog from exhaust and other emissions in the drive begin to be inhaled. Office spaces are bombarded much today by "Sick Building Syndrome" toxins from anything from mold, mildew, carbon minoxide or older buildings with asbestos that has not been removed.
The fast pace of the day hurredly comes upon us and we become lost in a world where most of us are sedentary for hours cramped in a space perhaps without windows and only re-circulated air. Let's hope our co-workers wash their hands everytime and turn away when they cough and sneeze. We don't H1N1 to add to it.
Maybe that ten minute water cooler break will allow the circulation in our legs to flow better so emboli won't be thrown and allows the carpal tunnel to stop spasming. If the muscle spasms in the shoulders(torticolis) could just stop a minute when you bend down at the desk top you could make it through the day, but it doesn't so , just pop down a couple acetominophens.
It's lunchtime and that mad dash to the car to the quickest food stand or fast food restaurant with colleagues commences. Only if that red light could speed up and that old pick-up would get out from in front you could get there faster. You can't tell if the gnawing pain in your tummy is that ulcer or the hunger you're trying to extinguish.
Ok, 15 minutes to slam down something that won't take too long to get back. Oh that triple-decker pattie and fries sounds good. Down the hatch , here's looking at you. Ok, back at the desk after traffic. Did the guys in the commissary enjoy the stroganoff any better? Oh, well , I'll just get some water from the fountain along with some seltzer and it'll all be better. Right ?This is a typical scenario that most of us face daily without thinking about it.
THE DAILY POISONS WE FACE
Today, we are letting the pace of the culture get the best of us and letting others decide what are healthy choices for or own metabolism. The food today is too effected by antibiotics, estrogen, growth hormone, genetic modification, insecticides, herbicides, pesticides, micro-waved, irradiation, aspartame, saccharin, HFCS( high fructose corn syrup) MSG, HCAs(heterocyclic amines), acrylimide, artifical dyes, chemical preservatives, chemical food coloring PAHs (polyamino-hydrocarbons), fast foods, smoked food and trans fats.
Our beverages are filled with as many chemicals such as our public water which is filled with chorine, flouride and numerous other spillages from raw sewage , expired drugs , chemical plant emissions and factory pollution.
ENTER ANTI-OXIDANTS
Anti-oxidants work opposite to what the toxins named above work. The toxins are oxidizing agents that can create oxygen free radicals in a process known as peroxidation(oxidation of poisons and toxins). These toxins can destroy or mutate DNA and cause chronic disease, immune disorders or cancer. Anti-oxidation is the process which this toxic process can be prevented or reduced severely. The process of oxidation occuring in the heart by saturated and trans fats causes heart disease. In other organs we see cancers like that of the colon, prostate and breast. Many "weird" symptoms we encounter may be from household items we use daily that present as aches and pains we can't put our fingers on such as chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia.
ANTI-OXIDANTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We are ideally suppose to get all the anti-oxidants we need from vegetables and fruits. In an ideal world we would. But, based on how and what we eat as well as how we prepare it; we are losing vital nutrients. That's why Nano-Nutrition is recommended in our daily regimen. Nano-Nutrition works as anti-oxidants to fight chronic illness and work as Bio-fuels so your metabolism functions smoothly. Nano-Nutrition is a part of cellular dieting or metabolism. This is where the real work of Nano-Nutrition is done on a microbiotic level.
But, what can we do if we can't get anti-oxidants in our diet? Well, you go down to your nearest organic or whole food store or a nutrition store and purchase them in supplement form. Biochemist and botanical scientist have known for decades since the days of Linus Pauling and Watson and Crick , who cracked the DNA code, that supplements work. Biochemist first had to understand the cell, then understand the powerhouse of the cell called the mitochondria. After that they had to further understand the "turbo-booster" in the mitochondria called the TCA-Cycle. This is where energy is utilized for keeping us alive second-by -second.
COMMON SOURCE ANTI-OXIDANTS
Today, we must always know where we can trust to get good healthy organically grown vegetables and fruit. If not , we must use supplements. The best and most accesible and readily usable are:
VITAMIN C-that fight against oxidation from free radicals
VITAMIN E-fight oxygen free radicals to reduce heart disease, premature aging
Co-ENZYME Q -a powerful anti-oxidant to help your heart
UBIQUINONE-an antiooxidant and energy booster that helps heart function
SUPER OXIDE DISMUTASE -One of the most powerful antioxidants
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT -obtained from wine and grapes to help against heart disease and aging
RESVERATROL -A potent anti-oxidant that helps fight against cancer, heart disease and premature aging
MELATONIN-perhaps known more for helping with sleep, but contains some interesting antioxidant properties
SELENIUM -One of the most important minearls that helps the pump function of the heart
LYCOPENE-A potent prostate protector that might exert its ability as a capable antioxidant

Promote Your Metabolism Based on Your Metabolic Type
It has been assumed by many commercial and even academic dietary experts that all diets and dietary agents are universal. That is to say that when a new diet or dietary supplement comes out it is as if that "one" method can be utilized the same by everyone.
Thermogenix has proven that this isn't true. Our clinical and academic studies as well as numerous supporting data show that there are at least three(3) main metabolic types with several sub-types.
Before we get into the three primary metabolic types , we need to understand a little bit about metabolism. Metabolism is the system that unifies all other systems in the body( neurological, cardio-vascular, pulmorary, GI etc...). Without understanding how metabolism works we can't use it properly to effect the changes and maintain the balanace our body needs.
The cell is the basic unit of metabolism where it houses the engine of metabolism called the "mitochondria". These powerhouses churn out energy by a Thermodynamic electronic processes in the face of oxygen that can produce 18 times more energy when your food is delivered into the cell! They are able to do this because there are numerous biochemicals (supplements) that boost energy in a cellular "turbo" called the TCA. If those "Nano-Nutrients are utilized in a combustive process with adequate oxygen, more energy is derived.
This is a Thermodynamic process that follows similar laws of physics. Every individual has a different metabolic rate based on the quantity of food and the quality of nutrients they consume along with balancing energy with activity. This is energetics.
Here is a parallel of how it works. You don't put the same type of fuel in a Volkswagen "bug", a Mac truck or a Ferrari , do you? Nor would you do the same for a weight lifter, a diabetic or an eighty year-old grandma. The same analogy is drawn with us in our daily lives when it comes to different metabolic types and the specific fuels they need.
There are three (3) basic metabolic types. These include the fast metabolizer who oxidizes foods rapidly, the slow metabolizer who burns calories slowly and the mixed-variable type whose metabolism is almost totally "out -of-whack".
The fast metabolizer can burn foodstuffs so fast that they feel hunger and symptoms of hyperglycemia rapidly. They may sense light headidness, dizziness, and fatigue just after eating. Because of this rapid rate of metabolism they will require more dense calories and perhaps boost snacks inbetween. Dense calories are not just meats. They also include protein sources from soy, whey, casein, brown rice, lentils,beans and lacto-proteins(dairy).
The slow metabolic individual is seen often in the diabetics with type II diabetes or those with the metabolic syndrome( insulin resistance, heart disease, high blood sugar, over-weight or obese). They tend to accumulate calories (anabolic-type). Control of appetite and focusing on more calories from complex carbohydrate sources such as fruit, vegetables and fiber becomes more important for this group.
The 3rd group with "mixed-variable metabolsim" are what the majority of us in our "fast food -fast paced" culture probably fit into. These are people who work the grave-yard shift or more than one job, doctors on-call for 36 hours straight, partiers and students who do " all-nighters" and let's not forget those who get the majority of their calories from fast foods, junk foods, genetically modified, irradiated, canned, smoked, herbicide-insecticide-herbicide treated, estrogen, growth hormone, aspartame laden, HFCS, MSG, artifically dyed, chemically preserved, PAH, HCA,high trans fat, acrylimide laden foods.
To add to that , the mixed -variable type doesn't have as much time to let the body rest, sleep, eat properly , get "Nano-Nutrition", leisurely exercise, has short lunch breaks and longer work hours.
A kind of "toxic-culture" is developing out of this third group and it is here that Thermogenix wishes to make an impact along with the other two as well.
Supplements are the biochemicals that are utilized in the cells engine, called mitochondria. The "turbo-boost" inside the mitochondria called the TCA -cycle can generate a lot of energy for us who are victim of this "toxic- food culture" and for those that have lowered immune resistance. Biochemist and botanist have known this for years it's nothing new. The supplements we do not take time to know about replenish us so that we can stay balanced, it makes sense!
Thermogenix is the paradigm shift that chooses to see health as all related in a more holistic paradigm not just sub-compartmentatlized. Metabolism is the system that unifies all other systems of the body. It is about time we start taking care of ourselves by going back to nature. Trying more organic and greener foods and Bio-fuels will help keep you balanced. Why, because Life is Energy!
