The Silent Saboteurs of Health
Oxidative stress is like cellular rust. It happens when there's an imbalance between free radicals (unstable molecules that cause damage) and antioxidants (your body’s defence system).
When free radicals win, the damage begins — affecting your DNA, cells, and even the way your body produces energy.
Just One Thing to Tame Oxidative Stress
In simple terms, oxidative stress is what happens when your body is overwhelmed by free radicals — unstable molecules that damage your cells. Picture it like rust on metal. Over time, that rust builds up, weakening the structure. In our bodies, it accelerates ageing, inflammation, and disease.
Free radicals are a natural by-product of breathing, eating, and even exercising. But they get supercharged by the way we live today.
