Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. It is associated with aging and various diseases, including cancer and heart disease.
Free radicals are unstable molecules with unpaired electrons.
Free radicals are highly reactive and can cause damage to cells, proteins, and DNA by stealing electrons from other molecules.
Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals by donating electrons, thereby reducing their harmful effects.
Include antioxidants in your diet.
