Oxidative Stress:

Environmental and Dietary

by Michelle Howard 

Twenty years ago people were not experiencing the levels of stress they are today.  Earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars, inflation, recession, you name it, problems and threats to humanity are increasing.  Stress levels are at an all time high, especially Oxidative Stress (keep reading).  The volatility of the stock market is bringing back feelings that haven’t been experienced since The Great Depression began in 1929.

While emotional stress is all too common, I submit to you that it is not the only form of stress that needs to be dealt with.  Every day we are faced with a source of stress called oxidation or oxidative stress.  Oxidation is a part of our body’s normal process.  While there are many forms of oxidation such as the slow oxidation that takes place when copper is rusted, for the sake of this writing, I will focus on oxidation that takes place in humans.  A simple explanation for oxidation is that it is the process of combing elements with oxygen.  As a result, free radicals are created which cause stress, oxidative stress on the healthy cells of the body.  This is why it is beneficial to consume anti-oxidants daily.  Anti-oxidants help to fight free radicals.

Our bodies must intake oxygen to breathe however, as a result of today’s environmental stress and people’s dietary habits (causing more stress) the processing of oxygen is dangerously multiplied.  This is oxidative stress.  From the air we breathe to the soil we grow our food in (studies have show that soil depletion affects the quality of our foods); it’s polluted as a result of vehicle’s releasing carbon dioxide into the air as well as factories mass producing.  Environmental stress is causing the production of free radicals because our bodies are forced to process oxygen more rapidly.

Nutritional deficiencies result in dietary stress.  To quote Carolyn Hoffman, a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, “While our body’s need pure, nutritious food, we can’t find it on the shelves in our supermarkets anymore.  The reason we have so many challenges is because we are all so nutritionally deficient.”  Added to that is the abundance of fast food and processed food readily available.  People are becoming overweight and obese as a result and our human bodies are deficient of the vitamins and minerals that they require.

There’s been much controversy over the intake of vitamin and mineral supplements.  While it’s true that many supplements have little to no value but to create “expensive” urine, there are very beneficial products on the market.  Just be aware that the saying, “You get what you pay for” is not far from the truth.  As a result of Environmental and Dietary stressors, the body needs something to help it fight the attack of stress in every day life.  There is a marine vegetable (from the sea) that obtains its elements from The Republic of Tonga in the clean waters of the South Pacific Sea.  In order to ensure that only the best, most potent Limu Moui extracts are selected and are friendly to the Tongan ecosystem, Limu is harvested by hand.  The result is LimuPlus, a nutritional beverage formulated with pure Tongan Limu Moui, Advanced Russian Adaptogens, Activaloe, and Green Tea.  LimuPlus offers the body the amino acids (the body’s building blocks), fatty acids (Omegas 3 and 6 for a healthy immune system and healthy blood), polyphenols (neutralizes free radicals), glyconutrients (helps cells to communicate) and alginate (eliminates unabsorbed heavy metals) it needs. 

There have been thousands of research studies performed that show how LimuPlus’ nutritional can help combat stress.  LimuPlus can help improve liver function and detox the body.  LimuPlus can help stabilize blood sugars, decrease blood cholesterol and relieve gastrointestinal problems.  LimuPlus has also been shown to help fight and relieve conditions such as antibiotic resistance, allergies, inflammation and the slowing of tumor growth.

I’ve personally been consuming LimuPlus for the past four months (without experiencing the side effects like with pharmaceutical drugs) as of this writing, with amazing results: Significant reduction in inflammation and clearer focus and concentration.  Read more details about LimuPlus and learn how to combat oxidative stress.
