High levels of free radicals will overwhelm our body’s ability to regulate them, thus causing oxidative stress. Many chronic and degenerative aliments are directly or indirectly caused by oxidative stress such as:
- Inflammation of the joints
- Acceleration of the ageing process
- Vision loss due to the deterioration of eye lens
- Damage to nerve cells in the brain that will contribute to neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer disease
- Increased risk of heart diseases
- Certain cancers caused by damaged DNA
