👉 Adverse-light-particles, often referred to as free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS), are highly reactive molecules or atoms with unpaired electrons. These particles are generated naturally within the body through metabolic processes and can also be introduced from external sources like pollution, UV radiation, and smoking. The adverse effects of these light particles stem from their ability to cause oxidative stress by stealing electrons from other molecules, leading to cellular damage. This damage can result in inflammation, DNA mutations, and cell death, contributing to a range of health issues including premature aging, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. Antioxidants play a crucial role in mitigating these adverse effects by neutralizing free radicals and restoring balance to the body's redox state.
