We have all heard the word free radicals, and we have all heard that some cosmetics, health products, or certain foods have the effect of scavenging free radicals, anti-aging, and delaying aging.
What are free radicals? What are free radicals?
Free radicals are metabolites produced during the normal life metabolism of the human body. Just like when a car starts, there will be exhaust gas and carbon dioxide.
A free radical, also known as a free radical, is a group of atoms that has lost one electron. Free radicals are very active molecules that are free outside the cell. Because one electron is missing, it will compete for molecules in damaged tissue cells, thereby damaging tissue cells, inducing DNA lesions, and accelerating aging.
The damage of free radicals to the body is slow, gradual and imperceptible. Just like a piece of iron slowly rusts when exposed to air. Once you notice it, you’re old.

The body will normally produce a certain amount of free radicals, and the body will also produce corresponding antioxidant substances to help remove free radicals in the body base. It’s a dynamic balance.
Antioxidants, that is, antioxidant molecules, are free radicals produced during the body’s energy release oxidation process.
It is divided into two parts: anti-oxidation. One part is antioxidant substances produced by the body. Including lipoic acid, glutathione, coenzyme Q10, uric acid, etc. This branch will gradually decrease with age, unbalanced diet, and nutritional deficiencies.
The other part is strong antioxidant substances that can be taken in from food to make up for the loss of antioxidant substances in the body. Help the body eliminate free radicals, prevent disease and aging.
Including basic antioxidant substances: vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, they all have antioxidant effects, but they are not necessary to exert antioxidant effects in the body.
e mainly plays an antioxidant role in glands, muscles and ducts. Vitamin A mainly plays an antioxidant role in the mucous membrane tissues of the body. Vitamin C exerts its antioxidant effects mainly in the parts of the body with more water, such as the blood, lungs and bladder.
In addition, there are some super antioxidant substances, which we don’t usually need. But in the treatment of some chronic diseases and major diseases, these super antioxidant substances must be used. Only in this way can we be sure to regulate these diseases and have a chance of winning.
THESE SUPER FRIENDLY RESOURCES *** What Are Fortifying Substances? A few examples: curcumin in turmeric, grape seed extract in grapes, pine bark extract, ginkgo biloba extract, anthocyanins in various fruits, lycopene in tomatoes, soy isoflavones in soybeans .

The harm of free radicals to the body can cause various diseases and accelerate the aging of the human body. This point in the 1960srecognized by scientists and medical scientists around the world. This is the result of medical research and clinical trials: free radicals are the root of all diseases.
From a medical point of view, free radical ROS is a group lacking electrons, that is, unsaturated electron substances, which are extremely active in nature. After entering the human body, they compete for electrons in healthy tissue cells and destroy normal tissue cells.
If the electrons of the protein molecules in healthy cells are taken away, and the protein is grafted onto the branch chain for alkylation, it can cause DNA damage, cause mutations, and form tumors and cancers. What is certain is that the aging process of organisms is the result of damage caused by the accumulation of free radicals in body tissues and cells.
With the deepening of research on free radicals, scientists are increasingly aware that measures to eliminate excess free radicals in the body can prevent and treat chronic diseases.
Super antioxidants in natural plant foods are beneficial to the human body. It is of great significance to use modern science and technology to separate and extract, concentrate into nutrients for human consumption, prevent and treat diseases, and resist aging.
Therefore, the development and utilization of high-efficiency natural antioxidant-free radical scavengers has become a trend of scientific development. Pursuing health and keeping away from diseases is also the desire of human beings.
