And do you have free radicals?
Free radicals are generally defined as highly reactive molecules that come as substances with β composition in the body.
What are free radicals? Free radicals are generally defined as highly reactive molecules that come as substances with β composition in the body. They are shed in oxidative metabolism and when exposed to harmful toxins such as tobacco or ultraviolet light in the environment. Radicals are molecules that are alone, for the most part, they do not have a partner. This explains why they are always on the lookout for other lone electrons on which they can pair and stabilize. The process of searching for other lone electrons is what leads to many health complications in the body. The process can cause premature aging, tissue damage, and many other health complications. These radicals are known as “free” due to the fact that they are floating aimlessly in search of stabilization. They are defined as “radicals” because they can pair with so many other electrons in the body. When they encounter another molecule to pair with the donor cell, they lose an electron, thus becoming a “free radical” as well. The vicious process of searching for another unique molecule to combine with causes a snowball effect and can eventually damage healthy tissues in the body. Its relationship to health Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and glaucoma are some of the many health complications associated with these lone molecules in the body. There is reason to believe that antioxidants such as: vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotenes, selenium, lycopene, lutein, lipoic acid and resve ratrol, can significantly reduce the damage caused by lone electrons in the human system. They do this by inhibiting the formation of the molecules in the first place. Antioxidants are vital molecules, present in most foods. These help prevent lone electrons from affecting healthy tissue. In other words, free radicals are neutralized, thus protecting healthy tissues in the body against oxidative stress. Finally we show you some foods rich in antioxidants to combat free radicals: Green tea Blueberries Citrus Coffee Wine Forest fruits such as: blackberries, blackberries, raspberries
