Dont let the suns rays cheat you out of your youthful good looks. There is a revolution in progress and its called the Free-radical theory of aging. Believe me this is one revolution you want to get in on right away.
It’s like the old proverb. Either you can live your life in a cave, like a monk, and die with pearly white skin. On the other hand, you can live your life in the Sun, and die looking like an old man. The monk only knows the cave the old man knows the world, hows the wiser?” I found the biggest secret to looking young is being young. Leading an active healthy life is by far the best way to look young and be young. A good multivitamin, good food and exercise are the secret. Even the healthiest of us though can have our skin ravaged by the sun. An active life unfortunately exposes us to harmful things, and over exercise can deplete our skin of essential fats, that give us our youthful looks.
The Free-Radical theory of ageing. Which states that atoms with free electrons cause damage to cell structures. Has lead to a break thought in cosmetic products that deal with aging. Over the past few years Science has come a long ways in it’s understanding of what causes our skin to age. Researchers have been able to look for what compounds have the natural abilitys to fight this age old problem. What they have found is truely ground breaking.
You well here a lot of talk in this new science about antioxidants. In short an antioxidant is like a magnet that collects these free-radicals before they can damage your cell structures. In reality, they are atoms that dont have enough electrons, so they collect electrons or free-radicals from atoms that are giving them off.
The sun as well as toxins in the food we eat and chemicals that we live and work around all cause a build up of these free radicals in our bodies. The good news is that this is not a new phenomenon to life on this planet. As our understanding of this posses increases so does our understanding of how other life form around us has adapted to fight this effect. No life forms have adapted more than plants and herbs. Probably, because they have been around the longest.
