A radical is a molecule where there are electrons that are not paired, and this means that they can be highly reactive and can result in harmful chemical reactions. A free radical, with these positive electrical charges can attract electrons from other molecules, resulting in damage to other molecules.
Free radicals can stem from a range of different sources, including various chemicals, cigarette smoke, alcohol, electromagnetism, stress, fertilizing chemicals, pesticides, some prescription medications, and some processed foods.
Free radicals are very unstable, and because they are highly reactive, they can cause cell damage that can exacerbate and speed up a range of illnesses and diseases, such as age related diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers.
Some radicals are produced naturally and aid a number of processes within the body, and there are some that are used as agents in radiation therapy. Antioxidants have been identified as invaluable in the fight against the harm that can stem from free radicals, and these antioxidants are able to protect cells against damage from free radicals. Antioxidants can come from a range of foods, such as fruit and vegetables, and can come from ensuring that you eat a healthy and well balanced diet.
