Free radicals are reacting like compounds formed in the body by the metabolism of the cells. You are out of balance by a lack of electrons and try reacting with other molecules to restore her own equilibrium. They can do only if they snatch the perfect molecules electrons, they damage also. The no longer intact molecules are also trying to prevent them, the snatched electrons from other compounds in to yourself to get back into balance. With age, let the body's own protection operations to, so that the free radicals in excess may be present. The aging of the tissue increases and creates oxidative stress.
Which free radicals are favored?
Everyone is exposed to everyday environmental influences. Particularly smog, cigarette smoke and UV radiation lead to increased damage to the skin. These effects, unfortunately we can not escape, so that we need to help the skin to build a shield against harmful environmental influences. What can you do to stop free radicals in their advance or to hinder, at least? Many cosmetic companies dealing with this problem. They work with antioxidants. This is called free radical scavengers. They work against the aging process of the skin and protect against outside influences.
Some are produced by the body, such as coenzyme Q10. However, the home-made stock is not sufficient to counteract the aging of the tissue in the long run against. Therefore, it is advisable to support the body's own production through the supply of food supplements or by feeding on cosmetic products. Important helpers are vitamins, most notably A, C and E.
