What Everybody Ought to Know About Oxidative Stress


I have never heard of this. Oxidative stress. If you eat too much in one sitting, your body gets oxidative stress. I'm quoting from an article:

"Many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s , Parkinson’s, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and inflammatory conditions, and ageing are associated with oxidative stress.

The bottom line is: do not overeat and, if you do, at least try to avoid excess intakes of fats and carbohydrates at single sittings."

Yikes! Here's the rest of the article written by dietician Ann Till. Before you read it, I have to warn you. Ann Till is probably English because they talk a lot about grams instead of pounds. So unless you are a metric whiz, the numbers won't mean much. But you'll still get the main idea: http://www.businessday.co.za/articles/Content.aspx?id=74604.

Has anyone ever heard of this before?
