Antioxidants Are The Cure To Free Radical Damage

Free radicals can occur naturally within the body during normal processes such as metabolism. The body is made to co-exist with a certain amount of free radicals. However, when the amount of free radicals created becomes excessive due to the sun's UV rays, pollution and other toxins, the damage to our bodies can be quite serious.

Free radicals are formed when a molecule loses one of its electrons. Since that molecule is now unstable it tries to rip away an electron from surrounding molecules to stabilize itself. This sets off a chain reaction among surrounding molecules. Though free radicals exist for only a short time they are able to damage the tissues, DNA and cell membranes of surrounding molecules. Cells that are damaged by free radicals quickly multiply, contributing to skin lesions, cancer, accelerated aging and more than 50 serious diseases.

For the last several years the public has been turning more and more to the beauty industry to stop free radical damage (aging) in its tracks, literally. A plethora of nerve paralyzers are on the market today. Whether it's a Botulism-related compound or other type of face paralyzer, the process is the same. A neuro- toxin is placed within the skin to smooth wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles below the surface of the skin.
