Exercise & Reactive Oxygen Species (Ros): : Likely the Only Health Miracle out There

Publisher Marketing: Exercise is a well known means to lower the risk of many common diseases, including cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and arthritis. There is a considerable scientific data to support this view. It appears that prolonged sitting is now considered to have the damaging equivalence of smoking. The hallmark of exercise is a 10-20% increase in oxygen consumption, which is rapidly metabolically converted to electronically modified oxygen derivatives, EMODs (EMODs, formerly called reactive oxygen species, ROS). Exercise deficiency disease is equivalent to an EMOD insufficiency disease. EMOD insufficiency "allows" diseases to manifest themselves such as cancer, heart disease, strokes and arthritis. Exercise is well known to have many beneficial health effects but scientists are at loss to explain the mechanism whereby exercise can lower disease risks and have a curative impact on already established diseases. So, what is the explanation for the benefits of exercise? According to the free radical theory, exercise should have a detrimental effect on overall health, due to the associated increased oxygen uptake and its subsequent conversion to "free radicals." Dr. Howes will answer your questions in his new, interesting and insightful book. Contributor Bio:  Howes MD, Phd Prof Randolph M Dr. Howes was the first in the history of Tulane School of Medicine to receive double doctorate degrees in medicine and biochemistry simultaneously. Dr. Howes invented the triple lumen venous catheter, which has been credited with helping save the lives of over 20 million critically ill patients worldwide. His catheter became the number one venous catheter in the world. He received the Harper Award from the American College for Advancement in Medicine and served as their keynote speaker and in 2013, he was the first to be presented the Charles Farr award for "excellence in oxidative medicine."
