What is oxidative stress?
It is a condition in which your metabolism produces more free radicals (molecule that are produced every day in our body) than it can defend, creating a lot of extra damage and wear on your cells.
Radicals are produced as a result of biological reactions that are generated in cells; Its increase -along with that of oxygen- in our body causes cells to oxidize , affecting their functions, causing oxidative damage.

Oxidative stress can be caused by exposure to extreme temperatures (think: working outdoors), smoking, obesity, diseases like diabetes or cancer, or even just getting older.
The uncontrolled production of free radicals and the lack of antioxidants to neutralize them damage molecules and alter cell processes, even leading to cell death, increasing the chances of suffering from serious diseases , such as Alzheimer's, cancer or Parkinson's.
What are the symptoms of oxidative stress?

- Physical changes : which can cause increased stiffness in the joints, loss of muscle strength and mobility problems.
- Cardiovascular problems : cellular oxidation can cause arrhythmias and changes in blood pressure.
