(Health Centre) - Free radicals are at the beginning of many health complaints. They attack our cells and can make inoperable. The more cells of an organ can be damaged in this way, the worse it goes to the institution. Diseases occur. The cell damage caused by free radicals can also lead to degeneration of the cell. Cancer is the result. Antioxidants may protect cells against free radicals. What are antioxidants and protect the most reliable in which foods containing them, you are now reading!
Free radicals attack cells
Free radicals are oxygen containing molecules that are dangerously unstable because they lack one electron in their chemical structure. They are incomplete. So they are looking for a suitable electron to be complete again. In this search for a suitable binding partner, do free radicals very ruthless and, above all in a hurry. When a free radical is formed, it takes a record 10-11 seconds (0.00000000001 seconds) before it will attack any victim. Aggressively takes it from the nearest intact molecule (eg, molecules of the cell membrane, proteins or DNA) that he requires electron. This electron theft is called oxidation. Since oxidation - as soon as they exceed the tolerable level - stress the body, it is called oxidative stress.
