This is an interesting topic area up to much debate,

Additionally some research suggests that it is in fact chronic inflammation that is the cause or the pre-emptive strike on the human body that leads to accelerated aging, and chronic disease.

Although free radicals are normal byproducts of metabolism, they are very active chemicals and can damage the inside of your cells, causing inflammation. Inflammation is the hallmark of many chronic diseases including Alzheimer’s.

It is also normal after exercise for there to be suvere immune depression, and the object of nutritional therapy combined with exericse therapy is often to increase cellular glutathione levels for instance to quench these free radicals.

It appears to me that along with physical manipulation, cryotherapy, and other modalities to healing, intrinsic anti-oxidant quenchers must be increased as well.
