WHAT IS OXIDATIVE STRESS?

Most of our process today subjects us to ‘Free Radicals’, the negative charged oxygen molecules that damage our cells. We eat processed food and bad fat, the air and our environment are contaminated with toxic chemicals, we are exposed to ultra violet rays from the sun due to ozone layer depletion; all these create imbalances in our body functions. Up and above, our lifestyles subject us to high levels of stress either it be physical or emotional, at workplace or in our homes.

‘Free Radicals’ damage our cellular functions predisposing us to degenerative disease i.e. hypertension, diabetes, cancers, as well as accelerate the aging process.

Yes, we do need health supplements specifically antioxidant vitamins, minerals and health nutrition to protect our body and restore our health. There upon the Wellness Revolution has churned out such wide range of healthcare products creating a trillion dollar industry in the name of health and consumerism. Be knowledgeable and discriminatory in your choices!

Till the next space, take care.
