Health - Hi-tech Defense

Hi-tech Defense



In spite of this antioxidant defense system the free radicals will damage lipids, proteins, Cell walls, vessel walls and even DNA nucleus of the cell. Thanks to God almighty the true healer for creating us with built in hi-tech defense system inside our body.

When a person has a disease or an injury, the bone marrow mobilizes different types of Stem Cells to help repair and regenerate tissues.  The cells that can divide and differentiate into different specialized cell types and can self renew to produce same cells are Stem Cells.  In grown up human beings stem cells and progenitor cells (a biological cell like a stem cell) act as repair system for the body, replenishing tissues.

Regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration and growth of DNA, cells and organs.  Regeneration can be complete, where a damaged tissue is replaced by a new tissue or dead tissues (necrosis) to excess tissue forming (fibrosis) swelling.

We all know that genes and the DNA are the blue print of our body.  Cells complete behavioral activities are controlled by DNA.  So any damage to the DNA affects behavior of the cell.  The damage to DNA can happen from chemical and physical agents, pollution and sunlight (oxidative stress).  Our bodies own defense system repair and prevent the damage (antioxidant and antioxidant enzymes).  Stability of DNA is very important throughout our lifetime.

When our body sense about the damage, the repair system gets activated. The repair work is not just patching up; here a very unique methodology is applied.  A brand new lipid, protein or DNA is rebuilt.  The release of stem cells by the bone marrow is a natural part of repair process – different types of cells are sent to replenish tissues depending on the nature of the injury.  The body repairs itself all the time, however, when the damage is severe; there are limits to what it can do of its own accord.

The cells regenerate and develop into different organs when we are in the embryonic stage and gradually we lose the ability as we grow into adults.  But certain parts of our body still retain that ability.  Those parts are arteries, skin, liver, lungs, digestive tract and some parts of our brain.  This self repair mechanism works well only if we have a healthy body.  We have to make sure that our body gets healthy diet and nutritional supplements for optimizing body’s regenerative powers.  Go To HEALTH INFORMATION

The Anti-ageing Strategy




Ageing is a process where damage happens to the cell and organism with the passage of time.  In the ageing mechanism of our body; organs, tissues and cells are subjected to a variety of destructive forces from external environment as well as inside our body even molecular level.  READ MORE.....
