The chemicals in these pollutants can interfere with the body's normal physiological metabolism, trigger oxidative stress reactions, and produce large amounts of free radicals.

For example, ultraviolet rays in the sun will cause oxidation reactions of molecules in the skin when they irradiate the skin, producing free radicals.

Long-term exposure to the sun, especially without protective measures, will lead to the accumulation of a large number of free radicals, damage skin cells, and accelerate skin aging.

Radiation from some medical tests or treatments may also lead to the production of free radicals in the body

When smoking, harmful substances in tobacco will enter the human body, trigger oxidation reactions, and produce free radicals

Alcoholism will increase the burden on the liver and produce more free radicals during metabolism.

Vegetables: such as broccoli, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, etc., are rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C, lycopene, anthocyanins, etc.

Fruits: such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc., are rich in antioxidants such as anthocyanins, ellagic acid, etc.

Eat dark fruits and vegetables

Nuts: such as walnuts, almonds, cashews, etc., which are rich in vitamin E, magnesium and other minerals

Whole grains: such as oats, brown rice, etc., rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber

Beans: such as black beans, red beans, mung beans, etc., contain a variety of antioxidant ingredients

Beverages: coffee, green tea, skim cocoa

Spices: Masala, Birnja, Roganjo, Curry…

Reduce free radical-generating foods: such as fried or burnt foods

In your daily diet, you should consume more foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, carotene, selenium, anthocyanins and other antioxidants. The antioxidants in these foods can bind to free radicals, rendering them inactive and reducing damage to cells.

Appropriate exercise such as jogging, skipping, running, climbing, cycling, etc. can promote the body's blood circulation and metabolism and help the body eliminate toxins, including excess free radicals.

Research shows that long-term moderate-intensity exercise can reduce free radical production in the body and increase antioxidants in the body

Excessive exercise will produce more free radicals, so you should exercise in moderation to avoid excessive fatigue.

Sleep should be maintained at 7-8 hours a day. Adequate sleep helps the body repair itself and remove free radicals. It also enhances the function of the immune system and prevents the body from being damaged by free radicals.

Pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early, and avoid staying up late to maintain the body's normal circadian rhythm.

Being in negative emotions such as tension and anxiety for a long time will cause the body to produce too many free radicals. Therefore, you should learn to adjust your mentality and maintain a happy mood.

You can relax your mind and reduce the production of free radicals through meditation, yoga, etc.

If your daily diet cannot meet the needs of antioxidants, you can supplement antioxidant-type health products in appropriate amounts under the guidance of a doctor, such as vitamin C tablets, vitamin E soft capsules, coenzyme Q10 capsules, etc.

However, it should be noted that excessive supplementation may also cause side effects, so you should follow your doctor’s advice.

Excessive free radicals may lead to a variety of diseases, so you should have regular physical examinations to understand your body's health.

Detect and deal with free radical-related problems promptly to avoid worsening of the condition

Added to most baked goods

Heating at temperatures above 180°C for a long time, such as deep-frying, frying, etc., will produce trans fat. The longer you heat it, the more trans fat is produced.
