Here at GR8SKN, we throw around the term "free
radical" quite a bit. (See this Facebook post if you don't believe me.) But
how many of us actually understand what free radicals are—or how they can
hurt you?
"Free radical" is a general phrase used to describe
very a reactive atom or molecule. (In chemistry language this reactivity results from unpaired elections.) You might compare free radicals to preschoolers
with nothing to do; they interfere where they shouldn't—like with your cellular
function.
Enter our cellular baby-sitters: antioxidants. Vitamins E, C,
and Beta-Carotene (a precursor to Vitamin A) keep the free radicals occupied
and prevent potentially damaging chain reactions.
So how do you "hire" some of these babysitters? Load
up on fruits and veggies. As you probably remember, GR8SKN products deliver
topical Vitamin A, too.
