Reactive oxygen species are essential for the body. Although the harmful effects of reactive oxygen species have been excessively emphasized, their beneficial functions have been relatively overlooked, but it is necessary to maintain them at an appropriate level. Reactive oxygen species play a role in killing viruses and other invaders in the body first, making it easier for white blood cells to engulf and destroy them.

 

Reactive oxygen species are produced during the process where nutrients and oxygen combine in the mitochondria within cells to generate energy. As long as we breathe and carry out vital activities, they are inevitably generated. Between 3% and 5% of the oxygen that enters our bodies through respiration becomes reactive oxygen species. Types include superoxide (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radicals (OH-). Reactive oxygen species are unstable, highly reactive, and particularly sensitive to stress, pathogens, and ultraviolet rays.

Research has shown that reactive oxygen species can suppress diabetes and alleviate degenerative arthritis. Reactive oxygen species produced through exercise also strengthen the body's immune system. They act as a kind of signaling molecule, performing beneficial functions for health. When blood sugar levels rise, signals are sent to 'regulate insulin' and 'secrete hormones that suppress appetite,' and during exercise, signals are sent to 'repair torn cells.'

 

However, the optimal amount of reactive oxygen species has not yet been determined. It is possible to estimate an excess of reactive oxygen species in the body through one's condition.

 

▲Getting easily tired even with just a little overexertion

▲Noticeably increased hair loss

▲ Skin becomes dry and flaky or

Frequent eye redness is a sign that reactive oxygen species need to be reduced.

 

At this time, factors that promote the production of reactive oxygen species such as smoking, stress, overeating, UV rays, and excessive exercise should be avoided. It is also good to consume antioxidant nutrients that eliminate reactive oxygen species. Antioxidant nutrients play a role in destroying and excreting reactive oxygen species from the body. The main ones are vitamin C and vitamin E.

Always healing, always healing is often talked about.

Supplements are diverse, and the eating habits are also varied~

The role of excreting from the body

There are many with tangy vitamin C.
