The term "free radicals" is fairly confusing, but you hear it more and more these days.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage the cells in your body. They form when atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons. They are a natural byproduct of processes such as metabolism, but you can also be exposed to free radicals from environmental sources, including the following:
Radiation
Drugs
Pesticides
Alcohol
Fried food
Solvents
Cigarette smoke
Other pollutants
Processed food
So, why do free radicals matter? Over the years, free radicals damage your cells and organs, this speeds up the aging process but also can result in a number of diseases, including diabetes, dementia, cancer, and so many more.
Here are some ways to prevent free radicals:
Avoid foods rich in carbohydrates and sugar
Limit processed meats
Limit red meat
Limit alcohol
Eat foods rich in antioxidants
Eat superfoods
Limit sun exposure
Don’t smoke
I also recommend to use skincare products that include spin traps. Spin traps work by stabilizing free radicals that are spinning out of control.
Here are some of the products we carry that contain spin traps:
Cranberry Cleansing Bar
Rejuvenation Concentrate
Repair Serum
Rosa-Derm Solution
Rejuvenation Face Crème
Rejuvenation Eye Crème
Chiral Eye Crème
Rejuvenation Masque
