Free radicals<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

THIS IS THE ROLE OF FREE RADICALS IN SKIN AGEING<\/h1>\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

You’ve probably heard of free radicals. According to scientists, they are largely responsible for the ageing of the human body. They gradually destroy healthy cells – the biological background of the ageing process. You can slow down this process by taking enough antioxidants. But what exactly are free radicals? Did you know that they are useful and important to a certain extent? Here you can find out more about these short-lived but aggressive molecules.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free radicals: what are they?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Free radicals occur as part of our metabolism, they are produced as an intermediate product of the process. They are nothing more than special, very reactive forms of oxygen: for example hydrogen peroxide, superoxide or hyperoxide. Their special feature is that they only have one electron – stable molecules, however, need a pair of electrons. Free radicals are therefore unstable – they are constantly “searching” for a second electron in order not to decay. They find this electron in other, stable molecules, which often have important functions within individual body cells, such as being part of the DNA. If free radicals “steal” the electrons of essential cell molecules, these in turn decay and oxidise. The cell is permanently damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free radicals therefore destroy healthy cells of the body, because this is the only way they can maintain themselves. As a result, more and more cell molecules become unstable. They begin to “take over” the electrons of the molecules of neighbouring cells. A chain reaction begins in which more and more body cells are irretrievably lost. This weakens the body and causes oxidative stress<\/a>, which is referred to as premature skin ageing, among other things. To keep the free radicals in check, the body counters them with antioxidants. These are found in many healthy foods, for example. If free radicals and antioxidants are in balance, the body remains healthy. However, many factors upset this balance.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT CALLS FREE RADICALS TO THE SCENE?<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Free radicals are present in certain numbers in every human body. They are constantly produced in the cells in the course of the metabolic process. However, some factors cause the number of reactive oxygen molecules to increase. The best-known causes are UV radiation and smoking. Other causes of free radicals are:<\/span><\/p>\n
