​Free Radicals​
 

We are often told that free radicals are harmful to the human body. What actually are "free radicals"? What are their harmful effects? How can we eliminate them?
 

What are free radicals?
 

Free radicals can be formed during normal metabolism. Pressure, air pollution, UV light, radiation, medication and smoking can also generate free radicals. They are highly reactive and unstable molecules, atoms or ions. In order to re-stabilize themselves, they cause oxidation and steal electrons from other stable molecules.

Damage of free radicals
 

Free radicals are unstable substances that roam freely through the body. They can attack healthy cells and tissues, depress the immune system and damage DNA, causing premature aging and a higher risk of cancer. Free radicals can also damage skin collagen and result in sag, dull complexion and wrinkles, while those caused by UV light can even generate melanin and create dark spots.

​

Fight against free radicals
 

Free radicals cause damages through oxidation process. Therefore, antioxidants can help combat free radicals. Carotene, vitamins C and E are antioxidants that can be found in food. However, modern lifestyle and dietary habits may lead to insufficient intake of antioxidants. As such, we may take antioxidant supplements regularly to support our immune system and defend against free radical damage.
