Weight Loss,How Antioxidants work, and Stopping Cravings.
Hi Friends,
Your cells have an extremely high energy packed fat in them called triglycerides. The cellular enzyme Phosphodiesterase releases an energy producing electron from the triglycerides in the cell membrane. This highly reactive electron is escorted to the energy producing mitochondria. The more cell energy you have, eating and cravings reduce.
This system works as long as the nutrients needed are in ample supply; Ascorbate Vitamin C, Selenium, and Vitamin E. 
The released electrons are oxidizers and have to be trapped by the antioxidants vitamin E (all natural mixed tocopherols) and Selenium (Selenomethionine). Vitamin C escorts the bound electron to the energy producing organelles in the cell call mitochondria.
But, it has to be the L-Ascorbate all natural vitamin C bound with minerals. We had one patient lose 100 pounds only to put 20 right back on. What could have gone wrong? He started using Ascorbic vitamin C, which is typically oxidized during manufacturing is not used by the cells, nature matters.
If the antioxidants Selenium and Vitamin E are deficient, the electrons will not be trapped causing damage – oxidization – hence the name antioxidants. If the diet is acidic or low in magnesium, you will hold water and shut the energy system down. A high magnesium alkaline forming diet with the antioxidants keeps the electron transport repeating efficiently.
You’ll know if you are not converting triglycerides into electrons for energy production, watch for cravings of sugar, salt, hot peppers, and or chocolate. You’ll also know because you cannot lose weight no matter what you do.
Everyone has specific cellular / nutritional demands and testing will identify what your body needs to get your vitality back.
