Oxidative Stress & Cardiovascular Disease
I discussed the mechanisms of oxidative stress & damage in a previous post but how does that effect cardiovascular disease (CVD)?? Atherosclerosis is a buildup of plaque in the walls of arteries that, over time, can build up enough that it closes in on the opening of the artery and blood can no longer flow through in sufficient quantities to supply the tissues. This results in tissue death in the area supplied by the artery. Common examples are heart attacks & ischemic strokes. Read more

As you probably know, most Americans are not getting the nutrition they need from the food they consume. This is partly due to improper intake of inappropriate foods but is also due to a decrease in the nutrient density of certain foods. There are a number of fruits and vegetables that do not have the same nutritional value that they had even 50 years ago. Foods are picked before they are ripe in order to give time for transportation. Foods are selected more for their uniform size and appearance than for nutritional quality. As soon as a fruit or vegetable is picked, it begins to lose its nutritional value. It is very important that we minimized the time from picking to consumption.
