What are the dangers of free radicals to the human body?

Free radicals, also known chemically as "free radicals", are clusters of atoms that contain an unpaired electron. The main ones encountered by our biological systems are oxygen radicals, such as superoxide anion radicals, hydroxyl radicals, lipoxyl radicals, nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide radicals. Free radicals are extremely reactive, unstable, and short-lived compounds.

Free radicals produce harmful compounds in the body's oxidation reaction, which have strong oxidizing properties and can damage the body's tissues and cells, thereby causing chronic diseases and aging effects.

The harm of free radicals, free radicals have a high degree of oxidative activity, they are extremely unstable, the activity is extremely high, they attack the cell membrane, mitochondrial membrane, and react with the unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane, resulting in enhanced lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation products (MDA, etc.) can be broken down into more free radicals, causing a chain reaction of free radicals. In this way, the integrity of the membrane structure is disrupted, causing extensive damage to muscles, liver cells, mitochondria, DNA, RNA, etc., resulting in various diseases, such as inflammation, cancer, dilated cardiomyopathy, senile cataracts, asthma and other diseases.

Therefore, free radicals are directly involved in and produce human disease, aging and death. What is especially terrible is that if free radicals invade the nucleus, they will damage DNA, and if DNA is cut off, so that the body's repair enzymes cannot repair DNA, it will cause gene mutations, which will cause a variety of diseases, such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and tumors. Free radicals are the culprits of cancer and aging.

Women may be familiar with the term free radicals, but they don't know what free radicals are and what they are harmful to. Cells produce free radicals, a by-product of energy metabolism. Free radicals have oxidative effects and can damage cell membranes, nucleic acids, etc., which are one of the important causes of chronic diseases such as aging, gene mutations, inflammation, and arteriosclerosis.

Destroy ** cells. Causes wrinkles and age spots. Attack the body's immune system and reduce the body's immunity.

Free radicals are a harmful compound produced in the body's oxidation reaction, which has strong oxidizing properties and can damage the body's tissue cells, leading to chronic diseases and aging. In general, you can't survive without free radicals.

The human body is moving all the time, consuming energy all the time, and the person responsible for transmitting energy is free radicals, if the free radical activity is out of control, more than a certain amount, it will destroy the normal order of life and cause diseases.

Free radical ROS is a substance that lacks electrons, and after entering the human body, it competes for electrons everywhere, and if it takes away the electrons of the cell protein molecule, the protein is connected to the branch chain and alkylated, forming a distorted molecule and causing cancer. Due to its own lack of electrons, the distorted molecule has to seize the electrons of neighboring molecules, which in turn causes neighboring molecules to also undergo distortion and cause cancer.

In this way, a vicious circle results in the formation of a large number of distorted protein molecules. Genetic mutations lead to the formation of a large number of cancer cells, and finally cancer. And when free radicals or aberrant molecules rob the electrons of genes, people will directly get cancer.

After the human body gets negative ions, because the negative ions are negatively charged, they have extra electrons, which can provide a large number of electrons, and block the vicious circle, and cancer cells can be prevented or inhibited.

Damage to the human body by free radicals:1. Weaken the resistance of cells and make the body susceptible to bacterial and bacterial infections.

2. Produce chemicals that destroy cells and form carcinogens.

3. Hinder the normal development of cells, interfere with their recovery function, and make the cell renewal rate lower than the wilting rate.

4. Destroy the genetic (DNA) tissue in the body, disrupt the operation and regeneration function of cells, cause gene mutations, and evolve into cancer.

5. Mitochondria in cells, causing oxidative fatigue.

6. Destroy the cell membrane, interfere with the metabolism of the cell, and make the cell membrane lose its function of protecting the cell.

Negative ion scavenging method.

Negative ions can reduce excess reactive oxygen species in the body, which can inhibit the oxidation of living organisms. Negative ions can increase the uptake rate of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, and the decomposition of vitamins can eliminate reactive oxygen species and improve the activity of anti-free radical substances.

Anti-free radical scavenging method.

Superoxide dismutase, vitamin E, vitamin C, carotene, anthocyanins, flavonoids, polyphenols, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, reducing glutathione, selenium are all highly effective substances to fight free radicals.

Meaning of Free Radicals:

The human body itself has antioxidant capacity, which is an enzyme that can decompose free radicals, and the medical community calls it the "scavenger" of the human body. However, as we age, the enzyme activity in the body decreases, and eventually the body's antioxidant capacity is unable to remove the free radicals that have been accumulating.

Disadvantages: 1. Under the action of free radicals, collagen will react, so that **not enough nutrients**, resulting in **tissue vitality, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, aging of the whole body, dull complexion, etc.

2. With the increase of age and the increase of free radicals, the degree of corrosion of free radicals into protein cells and fat cells in the body is also deepening, and lipofuscin accumulates more and more, resulting in the slow formation and appearance of pigmentation.
