Would you like to live a healthy, vibrant life to age 100? To age 115? Interestingly enough, recent studies with laboratory animals have proven that the biological clock can be turned backward. How do our cells function when we are younger? Inside every cell is a microscopic structure called the mitochondria. One of the main jobs of the mitochondria is the production of energy. It absorbs oxygen and combines it with other natural chemicals to create that energy. As the mitochondria produces more and more energy, it also produces, as a by-product, free radicals. Free radicals are unstable, electrically-charged molecules that attack healthy tissues in order to gain an electron and become stable. When they attack healthy tissue, they cause a microscopically tiny area of damage, which gradually accumulates, leading to inflammation and/or making inflammation more severe. When we're younger, our cells are able to keep the free radical damage and inflammation to a minimum. The cells are operating at peak efficiency, and are able to get rid of the toxins that build up in it during normal metabolism. Medical science has focused on finding the primary factors that lead to cellular aging and cell death. This is a very critical area, as we are made up of 23 trillion cells. Those cells are all organized into organs, such as the brain, heart, liver, muscles, intestines and skin. The aging and death of the cells that make up these organs will certainly lead to our own aging and death. As we get older, the cells in all of our organs undergo these changes, eventually leading to heart attacks, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer, Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease, in addition to the obvious signs of aging, such as sagging and wrinkling of the skin. The following are felt to be the main factors leading to cell aging and cell death: The first event that occurs is the gradual decrease in the efficiency of the mitochondria in the production of energy. This is evidenced as we age by a gradual decrease in strength and endurance, less motivation for physical activity and a more rapid heart rate with less exercise. The second sign of aging is an increased amount of free radical production by the mitochondria in spite of decreasing production of energy, allowing more tissue damage to occur and more inflammation to be present. The third sign of aging is an increase in the general level of inflammation throughout the body. This is partly due to the increased free radical production from the mitochondria, but is also due to over-stressing our normal metabolic processes. The combination of free radical tissue damage and damage to the tissues from inflammation produces an acceleration of the aging process. The fourth sign of aging is a reduction in the ability of the cells to dispose of the toxins that build up as a result of our normal cellular metabolism. These toxins act as a slow poison to the cells, increasing the rate of cellular aging and death. BioFend Bio-Fend consists of a proprietary blend of ingredients added to B-Complex that attacks each of the aging factors directly with the goal of neutralizing them to the greatest possible extent.
