WELLNESS AND
NUTRILITE
1
DANGERS OF MODERN SOCIETY
• Our food often lacks good nutritional content
due to mineral and micro-nutrient depleted soil
• Many nutrients are also destroyed by:
– Cleaning, transportation and storage of food
– Cooking and processing of food (Heat labile)
• Insufficient and poorly balanced diets
– Without proper food components deficiencies
may develop, cells may not be healthy and the
body may not function properly
2
DANGERS OF MODERN SOCIETY (continued)
Free radicals & oxidative damage.
• Free radicals are abnormal oxygen molecules
produced during normal metabolism.
• These free radicals attach to DNA, cell membranes
and enzymes and damage them unless they are
eliminated immediately
• In normal circumstances our bodies can neutralize
these free radicals through anti oxidants
3
DANGERS OF MODERN SOCIETY (continued)
Free radicals & oxidative damage.
HOWEVER:
• Stress, SUN (UV) exposure, smoking, disease,
normal metabolism, gasses, air pollution and
strenuous exercise increase the amount of free
radicals to levels that exceed our bodies capacity to
neutralize them
• Leads to damage causing DISEASE
– cancer, heart, aging diseases etc
