1、,Why do we have to use the yarn with a function of both emitting Far Infrared Ray and producing Negative Ions ?,What are the free radicals ? Evidences to show by scientists that the free radicals are the main reason causing the body aging of human being. The free radical means an atom or group of at

2、oms with at least one unpaired electron; in the body it is usually an oxygen molecule that has lost an electron and will stabilize itself by stealing an electron from a nearby molecule. In the body free radicals are high-energy particles that ricochet wildly and damage cells . As early as 1954, Prof

3、essor Harman ,working as a teacher in the school of medicine of Abraham Lincoln University of United States, has been put forward, but was regarded as a fallacy, never received much attention until twenty years later. In 1995, Professor Harman was nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine.,The relat

4、ion between free radicals and body aging,What are the free radicals ? When a variety of complex metabolism using oxygen are carried out inside the human body, a free radical that could be a atom or molecule is produced at the same time in which an electron is ejected from the atom or molecule, leavi

5、ng a positively charged ion (free radical). The free radical is unstable and easy to fetch an electron from others to make itself stable.,molecule,-,-,-,-,-,free radical (electron lacked),-,-,-,-,-,vacancy,-,electron ejected,unstable,stable,a tendency for electron fetching (in order for making itsel

6、f stable),Under what circumstances? Easily lead to free radicals?,It is well known that the people needs to breathe in order to survive, the food will be converted into energy via oxidation inside the cells of the human body. However, a possible condition of an electron ejected from the atom or mole

7、cule inside the human body will sometimes be happening at the process of electrons delivery throughout the cells during the process of oxidation for energy production. Therefore, the free radicals are produced at the same time which are also called by-products with it. According to scientists, the n

8、umbers of free radicals produced in the normal cells are about 3-5% of the total molecules that participate at the process of oxidation. In certain circumstances (Strenuous exercise), the numbers are higher to 15%. Each cell will produce free radicals by one trillion within a day. Free radicals are

9、running around the body. They enter into cell membranes, proteins, DNA, and the cells of normal function, and finally undermine them. Damages are accumulated in order to make our body vulnerable which is called “aging”.,In fact, not each type of free radicals will cause harm to human health. Some im

10、mune cells can release free radicals to kill those that invade the human body including the bacteria, viruses, or cancer cells. Some free radicals are involved in the process of important cellular metabolism. Harmful free radicals have destructive power to the living environment around us. There are

11、 many factors, such as: UV, radiation, cigarettes, pesticides, ozone, can produce different type of free radicals. Therefore, modern people enjoy the benefits of civilization, but also with the damage ( side effect ) of more free radicals. According to Dr.Bruce N Ames (Ph.D) of the United States Uni

12、versity of California, about 100,000 free radicals will attack these DNA genes of each cell within one day. Fortunately, one kind of enzyme inside the cells, which called “Catalase”, can repair the damage of 99% to 99.9%. Nevertheless, these genes in each cell will still increase some new wounds by

13、about 1,000 every day. When we are older (elderly), those wounds will be a number of 1,000,000. Until to the age of 50, about 30% protein in each cell will be destroyed by free radicals and has been scrapped.,Under what circumstances? Easily lead to free radicals?,The greater the frequency of blood

14、circulation, The more free radicals generated,People will have the disease because of strenuous exercise with too many free radicals produced that are 10-20 times the usual. Regular strenuous exercise when young, too many free radicals produced, but the body can also have their own to produce antiox

15、idants that eliminate excessive free radicals. Strenuous exercise when the elderly, too many free radicals exist, whereas antioxidants generated by their own in vivo are inadequate (due to the aging of organs) in order that do us more harm than good. Therefore, older persons should be engaged in sof

16、t movement. If older people still want to engage in strenuous exercise, vitamin C or E should be taken before exercise that helps the body produce more antioxidants.,Hydrogen peroxide-based free radical ( Oxidant ) the main trouble source in vivo (easy to steal an electron from a nearby molecule),Wh

17、en hydrogen peroxide has the opportunity for a proliferation into the cell, it will change into a hydroxyl radical to attack the targeted cell. Hydroxyl radical is short of an electron, so it is very unstable and easy at any time to fetch an electron from a nearby molecule in order to make itself st

18、able. Molecules, proteins, DNA, cells, tissues and organs are destroyed. It may even start the suicide gene in the cell, and cause the cell to death.,hydroxyl radical ( an electron lacked ),-,vacancy,-,-,-,-,Far Infrared Ray to promote blood circulation,Far Infrared Ray to promote blood circulation,

19、Functional Materials Far Infrared Ray,What is Far Infrared Ray? Far infrared ray is part of the sunlight spectrum that is invisible to the human eye. The complete spectrum of sunlight consists of visible and invisible rays. The visible rays are red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and violet in

20、 color. The invisible rays are Ultra Violet, X-rays, Gamma, Cosmic, Microwave, Long Wave, Electrical Wave, and Infrared. Only a small amount of solar rays are visible as colours. The greatest amount of the sun energy output is in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Far infrared waves are thermal.

21、In other words, we experience this type of infrared radiation every day in the form of heat. Unlike ultraviolet light, FIR is harmless to the body.,In addition, FIR also improves human health through the following functions: 1. Rejuvenates skin and tones muscle; 2. Increases oxygen in the blood cell

22、; 3. Promotes regeneration and fast healing; 4. Improves the autonomic functions of the nervous system; 5. Reduces fatty acids in the tissues; 6. Increases metabolism between blood and tissue, and improve blood microcirculation; 7. Reduces inflammation and pain in muscles and joints; 8. Far Infrared

23、 clothing can be conveniently worn 24 hours a day and is washable and durable.,How can FIR heal the human body?,Functional Materials Far Infrared Ray,The bodys blood flowing velocity increases about 10% and temperature on the skin surface increases to 0.5-0.7 in order that metabolism can be promoted

24、.,Functional Materials Far Infrared Ray,Functional Materials Far Infrared Ray,Although the use of far-infrared ray on promoting blood circulation is useful to the human body, but will always have more or less degree of free radicals to exist ( side-effects ) that are harmful, particularly to the eld

Therefore, the fiber should not only have the function of emitting far infrared ray, but also the ability of generating negative ions.,Functional materials have the effect of both emitting far-infrared ray and generating negative ions,negative ions generated by (1)friction (2)radiation (3)discharge etc.,functional materials - negative ions,Anions oxygen molecule of n
