The general notion of today's
India is one of great development. Our country is progressing by leaps and bounds. We have all
the possible proof in the form of every possible media to show off our newly acquired status-
wealth, comfort, technology, speed etc. We can proudly say that we have achieved the
lifestyle!

We as Indians should know if
this is true. Are we really living the good life? Just take a hard look at facts below

Our country is progressing by leaps and bounds. The general notion of today's India is one of great development. We have achieved wealth, technology, speed and convenience. We can proudly say that we are there. But, is this really a progressive and healthy life that we are living? If it is then why do the facts stated below paint a totally different picture? Why are we falling behind, even though it seems like we are moving ahead? |
|
|
|
 |
WHO (World Health Organization) has issued warning that India will be
the Diabetes capital of the world.
|
|
India has one of the highest heart disease rates in the world.
|
|
In India, increase in the rates of obesity is highest among those with
the highest levels of education and income.
|
|
One in every 10 cancer deaths worldwide is in urban India.
|
|
That is the true picture! We conveniently forgot there is a price to pay for blind
development. Are we living a lie? Why are we falling behind, even though it seems like we
are moving ahead? How did we get to become such an unhealthy nation?
Is there a connection between lifestyle and the collapsing health status?

 How did we get to become such an unhealthy nation? |
There obviously has to be a missing link there. One that we ignored. One that is proving to be detrimental. Through a relentless pursuit and extensive research it has been seen that the invisible culprit is the menacing Free Radical. To thoroughly understand how these elements attack our well being we need to know a little more about them and how they are formed. |
Each atom has protons and neutrons at its center and electrons revolving, in orbits, around the center. These electrons are always in a paired state in normal conditions. Whenever, due to any abnormality, an electron revolving around the center breaks out of its pair, the atom becomes unstable and the resulting species is called as a free radical. These free radicals are highly reactive in nature. To achieve stability they accept, rather rob an electron from the surrounding molecules and complete the original electron pairing. Due to this the molecule from which the electron is thus removed becomes unstable and turns into a free radical. This "electron robbing" process repeats in every new free radical formed and hence triggers an endless chain reaction. This process of electron removal is called as oxidation and the stress generated by the free radicals is the oxidative stress. |

Free Radicals: The Invisible culprit
|
|
Our bodies are made up of numerous cells. Each cell is
a combination of a multitude of molecules. In every molecule, are present, electrons that
revolve around the center in pairs. When, due to degeneration, an electron breaks out of its
pair, it forms a free radical. These free radicals are highly unstable and
reactive. To regain their stability status they rob electrons from the surrounding molecules
so as to complete the pair. As a result, molecules from which the electron is thus removed
become unstable and themselves turn into free radicals. This is an endless process, a chain
effect that produces a sequence of electron transfer reactions by a single radical.
These nuisances called free radicals attack cells in the body and damage them- a
degenerative process better known as Oxidative Stress. Though routine
natural processes in the human body generate free radicals, our body's defense and
regenerative mechanism is capable of taking care of these free radicals on its own.
But, today's unhealthy lifestyle is generating a burdensome load of ever increasing free
radicals that cause damage of a scale that is more than our bodies can possibly sustain and
repair. This is the primary reason for the rise in the number ailing population.

| Oxidative Stress |
Oxidative Stress plays a crucial role in the development of various disorders. Though some amount of oxidative stress is routinely generated during day-to-day activities (e.g. respiration or exercise), substances called antioxidants efficiently take care of this oxidative stress. Our body generates antioxidants and also sources them from our diet.
But, today's unhealthy lifestyle is generating a burdensome load of ever increasing free radicals that causes damage of a scale that is more than our bodies can possibly sustain and repair. Factors like smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, exposure to pollutants and radiations, consumption of drugs and chemicals, etc. associated with modern life style lead to this increased burden. This, in turn, increases the demand of antioxidants in the human body.
The issue is further complicated by the negative impact on our dietary habits due to our "modern" lifestyle. Irregular meals, unbalanced diet, junk food consumption, a shift from coarse grains to refined products, etc. are reducing the intake of essential antioxidants. There is a massive imbalance between the requirement and supply of antioxidants. And this is the primary reason for the rise in the number ailing population.

It is quiet possible that some or the other disease is silently eroding the health of an apparently “healthy” person. This ignorance and lack of prompt counter action are two of the foremost reasons why the health status of the Indian population is getting worse by the hour.
Are we going to just sit around and wait till the disease fully eats into our bodies ? |
The additional burden of these free radicals
contributes towards almost all diseases. |

Is There A Solution To This Problem?
|
|
Yes. There
is the obvious solution- a complete change of life style! One will have to-
 Avoid
exposure to the atmospheric pollution.
Avoid
vehicle use.
Prevent
exposure to radiations.
Also, to get sufficient protection from free radicals one has to stop tobacco and alcohol
consumption and avoid drugs, say no to fast foods, avoid refined grains, have regular square
meals and get 5-7 fresh servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
Easier said than done! Though the above dictated rules of lifestyle are the best solution to
avoid degeneration of the body, it is highly impractical in today's fast polluting scenario
because, leaving out the
unhealthy habits, the rapid
change in our life style and standard of living makes some aspects of living in today
unavoidable, almost impossible. We need something that will work with our lifestyle, not cripple
it!

MAGNO and heart diseases
|
|
Atherosclerosis is the most common abnormality
associated with heart diseases. Atherosclerosis means formation of plaque called as atheromas on
the walls of the blood vessels. The result is the narrowing or blocking of the arteries reducing
the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. This leads to heart attack. We know by now that free
radicals are involved in this process.
Oxidative stress caused by free radicals also plays a part in causing high blood pressure,
raised cholesterol levels and obesity; all of these in turn lead to heart diseases. Though the
western countries have awoken to this threat, in India the picture is of a totally opposite
nature. India is experiencing a tremendous growth in heart diseases. So much so that the
forecasts state that over the next 10 years 28% deaths in India will the victims of some form of
heart disease.
|
|
The powerful combination six different ingredients in MAGNO produces an
antioxidant activity that can effectively reduce the free radicals induced damage to the heart
and thus decrease the incidence of heart diseases. These potent ingredients also support healthy
functioning of the heart by reducing cholesterol levels, obesity, improving the pumping function
of heart and reducing blood pressure.

|
MAGNO and diabetes
|
|
Diabetes mellitus is the disease characterized
by high blood glucose levels. Glucose combines with proteins and generates free radicals causing
local oxidative damage. Prolonged high glucose levels in the blood lead to various complications
like heart diseases, kidney complications, eye problems, nerve complications and infections. The
gravity of diabetes in India is beyond imagination. Numbers of cases of diabetes in India in
2002 were 3.17 crores and the estimated number of diabetes cases in India for 2030 is 7.94
crores- the reason behind WHO issuing a warning that India will be the next Diabetes
capital of the world.
Regular consumption of MAGNO can reduce the stress generated by free radicals
produced due to high blood sugar levels. MAGNO contains
the magical Goji beri - extremely effective in improving the use of insulin
in the body. Insulin secreted in
the body reduces blood glucose levels. Clinical trials have successfully proven this
insulin-supporting action of the Goji beri.

MAGNO and cancer
|
According to a study by the WHO, one in 12
women in urban India will develop cancer in their lifetime. Current statistics state that one in
every 10 cancer related death worldwide is in urban India. What's even more alarming is that at
the time of diagnosis a good 75-80% of cancer patients are in the advanced stages of the
disease.
The free radicals induced oxidative stress is the origin and cause of development of cancer (a
fast growing tumor that spreads and destructs surrounding tissue) in various organs.
The Green tea extract in MAGNO can inhibit initiation and
promotion of tumors. The antioxidant properties of MAGNO reduce the risk of
various cancers. The Mangosteen juice has successfully exhibited anti-tumor
activities. Also, the Noni fruit juice shows a great potential in the process
of preventing cancer.

 |
| Through various tests it has also been confirmed that antioxidants not only play a role in prevention and protection but also support the conventional treatment of various disorders. |
| Evidence Of The Superior Antioxidant Activity Of MAGNO |
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity and is the measure of antioxidant power of foods. With the help of this test, we can quantify the capacity of food to eliminate free radicals. It is expressed in mmole Trolox equivalent (TE) per unit weight of food. Studies carried out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Scientists show that an adult human being should consume about 3000-5000 units ORAC per day to have sufficient amount of antioxidants in his blood to eliminate the formation of free radicals. We do get some antioxidants from our diets, but it has been observed that a sizeable 80-90% of all of us is not getting even half of the recommended requirement through our daily diets. Therefore a supplement is desperately required to fulfill the daily ORAC need. |
|
MAGNO Health Drink, with its unique 6 in 1 formulation, has an ORAC of 71,638 mmole TE/lit i.e. 2149 units per serving of 30 ml or 4,298 units per day, sufficient to fight against oxidative stress produced by free radicals.
Following figure explains the comparison of ORAC values of 30 ml quantity of various nutritional supplements that are available in the market. |
