A handful of devastating diseases of aging are all partially or totally
caused by oxidation:
❖ Heart disease ❖ Osteoarthritis
❖ Cancer ❖ Alzheimer’s disease
❖ Diabetes ❖ Dementia
fuzzy; our hearts don’t beat as efficiently as they once did; our
arteries become clogged; our blood sugars spike and cellular divi-
sion is thrown so far out of whack that our cells begin to divide
wildly, creating cancers that can kill us.
This oxidative stress can also cause brain chemistry to mal-
function, resulting in depression, one of the most common and
debilitating diseases of modern times.
Worst of all, these nasty free radical oxygen molecules cause
inflammation, with obvious results if you think of arthritis, joint pain
and other forms of chronic pain, but less obvious ones as under -
lying causes of all of the degenerative diseases already mentioned.
In addition, obesity and inflammation go hand-in-hand. Most
likely, obesity causes inflammation, although the scientific commu-
nity isn’t quite convinced yet. More than 40% of all Americans
are obese. When we add in those 30% who are overweight but not
yet obese, we find that excess weight plagues 70% of all American
adults. That makes the inflammation associated with obesity a seri-
ous contributing factor in all of the diseases of aging.
THE GOLDEN KNIGHT
Like a golden knight on a palomino charger, curcumin rides to the
rescue!
Curcumin is by far the most powerful antioxidant known to
science, hundreds of times more powerful than blueberries, which
have substantial antioxidant capabilities themselves.
