How is free radical generated in the process of energy metabolism? Why do free radicals occur when muscles or brain are overworked? Is there any substance of what is called free radical in our body?

In this article, take the time to prove this scientifically. In conclusion, it can be seen that free radical is generated in the process of energy metabolism.

The principle of generating free radical in the energy metabolism process: the role of energy

Each organ in our body needs energy to move. For example, to “smelt the smell,” we need to breathe air, so we use the muscles of our lungs to breathe in air, which is converted into electrical signals from the sensory organs. The signals are interpreted by passing them through the nerves to the brain.

As such, it is called each organ, but the organs that actually use energy are muscle fibers (including muscles, tendons, and ligaments) and brain. The energy used by muscle fibers and the brain is produced by organs in cells called mitochondria.

The principle of generating free radical in the process of energy metabolism: mitochondria in energy production plants

Mitochondria use oxygen from the air you breathe, fat and glucose from the food you eat to produce energy. These two processes, breathing and eating food, combine together to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. 

Principle of generating free radical in the process of energy metabolism: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) 

ATP has a high-energy phosphate bond, and the process of making adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is an exothermic reaction that releases energy of 7.3 kcal / mol. The reaction equation for this process is as follows. 

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi ΔG˚ = −30.5 kJ / mol (.37.3 kcal / mol)

The energy generated by this exothermic reaction makes the muscle fibers move, activates the brain, and is used for various metabolisms. For reference, 1 molecule of glucose can make 30~32 molecules of ATP.

Principle of generating free radical in energy metabolism process: By-product

However, some by-products are generated in the process of mitochondrial energy metabolism, which is commonly referred to as a fatigue substance, representatively of free radical. 

Principle of generating free radical in the process of energy metabolism: Generating explosive energy in a short time

In addition, the explosive energy generation in a short time generates more free radical. Mitochondria are a kind of factory. If the machine in the factory is also overloaded, the production rate of defective products increases. Mitochondria are living organisms (cells). If a large amount of energy must be produced by living organisms (cells) rather than machines in a short period of time, more free radicals, which are defective products, are generated.

• Free radicals in muscle fibers due to excessive exercise
• Free radicals in muscle fibers due to excessive physical exertion
• Free radicals in the brain due to overwork
• Free radicals in the brain due to stress

Free radicals generated in muscle fibers destroy muscle fibers and cause muscle pain, and free radicals generated in the brain destroy brain cells, causing headaches. 

The principle of generating free radical in the process of energy metabolism: Anions and free radical

Anions are the ones that best remove free radical in nature. Through an experiment, Monster Gear confirmed that muscle pain decreased as a result of supplying negative ions to shoulders, elbows, wrists, waists, hips, hamstrings, knees, and calves through negative ions.

In addition, through an experiment, Monster Gear has confirmed that headaches are alleviated as a result of supplying negative ions through the carotid artery through a neck band with an anion pad attached.

Therefore, I want to draw a tentative conclusion as follows. “The free radical in our body is real, and it was confirmed that a significant part of it was removed through the monster gear negative ion pad experiment.”

Epilogue

Free radical is generated in the process of energy metabolism. Mitochondria, an energy production plant, accidentally came into our body's cells during the evolution of life. And we have DNA apart from our DNA. In other words, it is a symbiotic relationship with us. We supply the mitochondria with nutrients, and the mitochondria provide us with energy. The energy our body produces is not precisely designed according to God's design. It is a coincidence of symbiosis with mitochondria. Therefore, energy is not produced only what is needed by our body. A by-product called free radical is also produced. Energy benefits our body. Free radicals are harmful to our body. God's design will only give you the benefit of energy. It is caused by a symbiote called mitochondria, so you have to risk the harm to get the benefit.
