Dr. Berg's Cruciferous: https://bit.ly/2TMqVzI

Dr. Berg talks about the basics of an antioxidant. In our environment and in our bodies we have free radicals, which are very reactive. This is an atom with an unpaired electron, making it unstable. This can damage our DNA, our mitochondria, our cells. This is called oxidation. An example would be radiation, chemicals, certain metals like free iron, stress, and even high blood sugar. On the flip side - we have anti-oxidants, which donate an electron making the atom neutralized. This would be vitamin C, E, A (beta carotene), alpha-lipoic acid, and basically all the phytonutrients that plants like cruciferous give us.

0:36.6	Hey guys, so there's been a lot of complexity

0:41.6	So I wanted to create a short video to explain the simplicity of it.
0:45.0	Okay? So if we take a look at most atoms which are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons,
0:52.0	that form molecules and chemistry in the physical universe.
0:57.0	This is kind of like the building blocks.
1:00.0	Most atoms have paired electrons so they kind of balance each other out.
1:05.0	A free radical has unpaired electrons so we have electron on one side but not on the other.

1:19.5	create a lot of damage, but if we take a weight and balance it out,
1:22.7	it'll spin really nice and symmetrical.
1:25.5	So free radicals create damage on ourselves and the DNA
