Resist oxidation

What you should know about antioxidants?

As people's living standard is getting better and better, people are more and more concerned about health and appearance. What do girls care about most? I believe one of the answers must be skincare.

 

[Resist oxidation should be early!]

This slogan is known by every girl who is paying more attention to skincare. As we all know, resist oxidation is in the fight against skin aging. The importance of antioxidants is also being widely reported online. Many advertisements for skincare products and health care products also advertise their effective oxidation resistance. Antioxidants are not just for fighting aging, they are also for our health.

 

[Why are antioxidants so important?]

First, we need to know that antioxidants are good for our health. An antioxidant is any substance present in low concentrations that effectively inhibits the oxidation of free radicals. A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. However, free radicals are also indispensable to the human body, and they play a very important role in killing harmful bacteria in the body. So, we cannot live without free radicals, and we cannot live without antioxidants.

But, if free radicals overwhelm the body's ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues. Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases. Cancer and atherosclerosis, two major causes of death, are salient free radical diseases.

Secondly, antioxidants are one of the main ways to fight skin aging. Skin aging can cause many skin problems such as wrinkles, pores thick, freckles, and so on. It seemed fearsome even to think of these problems.

[How to resist oxidation?]

Vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium, Omega-3 and omega-6, melatonin, and so on are all belongs to antioxidants.

In fact, some natural antioxidants are hidden in the foods we eat, such as grapes, blueberries, and mulberries, and waxberry. They have compounds called anthocyanin, one of the most powerful forms of antioxidants. Most green leafy vegetables, kale, green peppers, tomatoes, and so on are the most convenient source of vitamin C.

Of course, for the busy young people, health care products are a convenient and fast way to keep in good health. However, antioxidants in health supplements are far less effective than found in fruits and vegetables. So, the best way is to eat more different kinds of different colors of fruits and vegetables, food contains a variety of natural nutrition is health care products cannot be replaced.

The most famous health supplements are probably Blackmore and Swisse from Australia. As for the effect, I think it varies from person to person.

Last but not least, in our daily life, we should also pay great attention to sun protection. Ultraviolet light is a major factor in the production of free radicals, and skin aging occurs especially in areas exposed to the sun. Before you plunk down half a paycheck on that pricey anti-aging cream, in fact, before you do anything, put on sunscreen. And we should pay attention to sun protection in every season, the ultraviolet ray of winter also can cause damage to the skin.
