The second degree specialist in vascular surgery, Arturo Perez Chambers, leads the team of doctors at the General Hospital Dr. Agostinho Neto at Guantanamo who carries out preventive work against oxidative damage suffered by the human body cells.
The irregularity is caused by so-called free radicals, said the doctor, who is also responsible Angiology Service of the largest medical facility.
These atoms or groups of atoms with an unpaired electron through the body to "steal" of stable molecules of these elements, and its biological life microseconds cause a destructive chain reaction, said the interviewee.
This phenomenon, he said, is capable of oxidizing many biological structures indiscriminately and is considered the primary cause of aging, and cancer, atherosclerosis, chronic inflammatory processes and cataracts, among other conditions irreversible.
The angiologist impose their patients about the importance to prevent these diseases away from tobacco use, fatty acids contained in vegetable, meat and milk, and solar radiation.
In 1954, researcher Rebecca Gerschman Argentina said that free radicals were generating toxic agents and diseases, and described them as molecules whose atomic structure has an unpaired electron in outer orbit and a spatial configuration that generates high instability.
Although the human body produces to fight limited to bacteria and viruses, it is sometimes invaded by them, in that case the person must appeal to substances capable of neutralizing this negative effect through the release of electrons in the blood.
Among the most effective antioxidants are, first of vitamin A found in carrots, mango, tomatoes, cantaloupe and spinach, as well as E and C, which are notorious enemy of free radicals and many malignant tumors.
The "E", in particular, prevents and dissolves blood clots, slows cellular aging and is provided by the avocado, sweet potato, spinach and most green vegetables.
