The oxidative stress causes aging

Aging is a complex process, involving all the molecules, cells and organs. The skin is the body more easily reflect the outcome of the aging process. With age and our bodies are more exposed to environmental we live in, more biochemical processes leading to changes in our skin, but of course influenced by genetic factors.
Several studies indicate that there are 2 types aging, the first aging is caused by genes inherited by children, called internal aging. The second type is called external aging, which is caused by environmental factors such as exposure to sunlight and lifestyle. Basically there are two types of reciprocal influence each other and mutually contribute the mechanism the aging process. Internal aging is strongly influenced by age and genetics are, sooner or later be experienced by all people without exception. Although aging can be traced from outside the influence of the environment (pollution, cigarettes and cosmetics), disease and unbalanced diet. These factors we can control external course with several efforts to slow the aging process can occur. All of these factors in the body triggers a biochemical process that generates free radicals, the number one cause of aging. Free radicals are normally produced by the body as a result of the oxidation process, but if these radicals free being overproduced in the body,
will cause an oxidative stress is known to cause damage to cells and become a disease in tissues and organs.

What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is a condition where the amount of free radical molecules produced by metabolism, the amount exceeds the capacity of the body to neutralize them. As a result the intensity of the oxidation of body cells that normally become more high enough to cause more damage. Conditions of oxidative stress leads to oxidation damage caused by the level of cells, tissues, organs. Provided that cells are eventually destroyed this manifest cell disease and the aging process is more rapid (premature aging). This oxidative stress can occur due to be triggered by a number of conditions, but basically this oxidative stress caused by an imbalance between free radicals and molecules antioxidants. Could due to lack of antioxidants or excess production of free radicals in the body. Several studies and medical research has shown that more 50 types of illnesses allegedly related to free radical activity, including Stokes, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, asthma, Parkinson's, because of AIDS. In our skin, free radicals are produced in excessive oxidative stress can damage the layer of fat in the membranes of skin cells due to the loss of tension and elasticity of the skin, causing wrinkles (wrinkles).

Oxidative stress is prevented?
In essence, everything in life and nature have always been created a balanced manner and in the human body. Our body has its own way in the fight against the dangers of free radicals is through a series of enzymes antioxidants superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px), catalase, and not composed of the enzyme, which is a small protein glutathione. This is known as an endogenous antioxidant that is produced in our own bodies. But the environment in which our daily life, the food we eat, the different types of pollution and a increasing number of stressful lifestyle causes the body to exposure to excessive free radicals and the body can not neutralize them. Because it was the work of antioxidants need to be assisted by endogenous antioxidant intake from outside (exogenous) to the cells of the body rapidly aging. Humans Modern absolutely need this extra antioxidants, due to modernization, but has made it easy to live on the other hand, has donated more danger to health of the human body. Air pollution, the fast pace of work, even sports, fast food and various food preservatives in an instant almost everyone, all became part of the lifestyle of most modern humans.
Exogenous antioxidants can be obtained from the consumption of foods rich in vitamins E and C. In recent years scholars have examined various phytochemicals that may be useful as an alternative antioxidant vitamins E and C, called phenolic compounds. Simple phenolic compounds found in the many green plants, herbs and fruits. Other substances that are carotenoids are antioxidants, which can be obtained from the consumption of fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots bright.

The key is the healthy lifestyle!
Aging body's cells can be delayed for a healthy lifestyle. These habits include a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, balanced, exercise regularly and consistently, not smoking, adequate rest, protect our skin from the sun and most importantly, avoid the stress of living a habit of thought balanced and positive to see everything. A study by U.S. scientists say changes in the global lifestyle, means a better diet and physical activity more regularly, not only physically healthy, but also can make drastic changes at the genetic level. In other words, genetically inherited to us is not a fixed price. Because healthy lifestyle that can happen in the genes for a better and healthier for our children.
