The oxidation process within our body is similar to rust on metal. Indeed, when in contact with oxygen, the atoms that make up our body\u2019s cells undergo changes. Because of these changes, oxygen becomes unstable and causes the elements it comes into contact with to decompose, which can lead to biological damage. These unstable atoms, which initiate the oxidation process, are called free radicals. The formation of free radicals is normal during cellular metabolism, i.e., the process that allows cells to function, grow and reproduce.<\/p><p>When a cell is attacked by free radicals, it is said to be under oxidative stress. The latter is associated with cellular aging, which is normal as we age but can be accelerated by overexposure to free radicals. It is believed that this premature aging of cells could be associated with the development of diseases, in particular, cardiovascular diseases or certain forms of cancer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-843e9d4 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"843e9d4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-77be14d\" data-id=\"77be14d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5de510 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a5de510\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><div class=\"divider\"><\/div>The protective effect of antioxidants<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17623ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"17623ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although the presence of free radicals in our body is completely normal, our modern lifestyle means that our body is increasingly exposed to them.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive alignright wp-image-6520\" src=\"https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mado-jus-sourire-1-491x500.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mado-jus-sourire-1-491x500.png 491w, https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mado-jus-sourire-1-300x306.png 300w, https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mado-jus-sourire-1-600x611.png 600w, https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mado-jus-sourire-1-768x782.png 768w, https:\/\/genacol.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/mado-jus-sourire-1.png 978w\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p><p>Several external factors can increase the quantity of free radicals in our body.
