The human body is comprised of water (63%), protein (22%), fats (13%) and trace vitamins and minerals (2%).

Essentially, we are what we eat. However, the ever increasing level of chemical in our food, the atmosphere we breath and the water we drink means our immune system is having to work harder to combat the harmful invasion of our bodies.

Medical literature has extensively investigated the common denominator in arterial diseases and other degenerative "ageing" diseases - Free Radicals from oxidative damage.

Whilst oxygen is the basis of sustaining life in all human, animal and plant life, it can also be very damaging. Without oxygen an iron would not rust when exposed to water, nor food go rancid.

In order for the body to convert fats/proteins into energy there has to be a chemical combustion, which with any "burning" process there are waste material which can be toxic or harmful. Free Radicals are such waste material produced in the body, which damage the artery wall. Unlike veins there is oxygen present in the arteries.

Antioxidants

The therapeutic use of antioxidants (vitamins a, c, e, beta-carotene and selenium) can provide benefit in fighting free radicals, which is the first step in arterial disease.

Mineral Deficienc

Most people understand that anaemia caused by low iron leads to fatigue, poor complexion and problems during pregnancy.

However, potassium and magnesium are equally important and lack of them can cause muscle cramps, twitching and even contribute to a heart attack.

While calcium is the key to healthy teeth and bones, poor absorbtion can lead to osteoporosis.

In later life our ability to absorb the right balance of minerals can be affected by poor digestion, the wrong diet and arterial disease.
