This article will help you learn how to boost your natural defenses against free radicals and reduce the effects of oxidative stress, such as the premature aging of skin.
Free radicals are unstable molecules from the oxygen we breathe and are essential to life and to health. However, when there are too many of them in our bodies, they damage our healthy cells. This is called oxidative stress, a natural phenomenon that keeps the body from defending itself adequately against inner and outer attacks.
Genes and aging also contribute to oxidative stress.
