Anti-aging, and anti-oxidant, are two buzzwords in today's beauty world and even the healthcare industry. Anti-aging is well understood, but many people have little understanding of the concept of anti-oxidation until now. Today we will talk in detail about what is antioxidants. So, what exactly is an antioxidant? What is the relationship between antioxidants and anti-aging?

To understand what antioxidants are, we must first know what oxidation is. Make a simple analogy. Rusting iron is an oxidation process, and so is the human body. The oxidation of the human body starts with free radicals. The chemical theory states that the human body is made up of molecules, atoms, and other examples, of which oxygen molecules are an important part of maintaining the normal functioning of the human body. In general, there are many normal oxygen molecules in the human body, each of which carries a pair of electrons, belonging to the good citizens of family stability. The normal metabolism of the human body can cause oxygen molecules to lose an electron, and this oxygen molecule with unpaired electrons is a free radical. Free radicals are like extremely lonely and destructive bachelors, very actively grabbing electrons from other molecules from the cell membrane to pair themselves with, and this process is oxidation.

How does the oxidation process affect the human body?

When a free radical grabs an electron from the cell membrane, another new free radical is created and a chain reaction begins. This chain reaction of competing for electrons will erode the cell membrane, resulting in the loss of cell integrity, and become the source of various diseases and body aging. Therefore, free radicals are also known as the source of aging and the source of all diseases.

What is an Antioxidant? When do you need antioxidants? How can it be an anti-oxidant?

Simply put, antioxidants are the process of scavenging free radicals, and antioxidants are components that can scavenge free radicals. From the above explanation, we know that free radicals are the regular products of human metabolism. Correspondingly, the human body also produces its own antioxidants to counteract free radicals. However, with the development of society and economy, people's lifestyles have undergone major changes, such as environmental pollution, unhealthy diet, decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes and antioxidants with increasing age, excessive ultraviolet radiation, smoking, and a series of internal, external factors can lead to excessive free radical production, thereby disrupting the body's own balance of antioxidants and free radicals. These excessive amounts of extremely unstable free radicals can accelerate the aging of the human body by damaging cell membranes and healthy DNA. In addition, excessive free radicals can also lead to a series of diseases, such as heart disease, blood disease, stroke, and even cancer, and more.

What is the relationship between antioxidants and anti-aging?

We often see "anti-oxidant" claims in anti-aging skin care products, and even anti-aging = anti-oxidation. Therefore, some friends will be disappointed and complain: "I have anti-oxidation, but why is my skin getting older every day?" Simply put, it can be said:

Before the age of 25, anti-aging = antioxidant + sun protection + basic care (cleaning + moisturizing)

After the age of 25, anti-aging = antioxidant + sunscreen + basic care (cleaning + moisturizing) + functional anti-aging products. Simply put, antioxidants are a key step in anti-aging, but they are not the entire content of anti-aging.

Where can antioxidants be found?

Your body produces some antioxidants to fight free radicals formed by normal bodily functions. By eating a healthy diet, your body also gets some antioxidants from it. It is reported that foods rich in antioxidants are also often high in nutrients. This includes fruits and vegetables such as vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, and selenium. To add even more antioxidants, some people also choose to take antioxidant supplements. If you're looking to add antioxidant supplements to your diet, here are some products worth starting. There are many antioxidant supplements on the market that do not contain the right balance of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, which can adversely affect your health, so you must choose carefully.

Eating this regularly can delay aging as follows:

Tea

There are many types of tea, but there are only two colors of tea, black and green. Whether black or green tea brewed water has red, green, yellow, black, and so on. These are secondary, mainly because tea is rich in flavonoids, which give it a strong antioxidant effect.

There is no need to pour it out immediately, we can use warm water to soak overnight tea and stale tea, pour it into a basin, and use it to wash your face, which not only sterilizes bacteria but also has antioxidant effects.

(4) Whole grains. Cereal foods contain a large amount of vitamin e needed by the human body, which can supplement the vitamins needed by the human body, enhance immunity, and prevent skin oxidation.

Cistanche

The polysaccharides contained in Chinese herba Cistanche have a scavenging effect on hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion free radicals, block the free radical reaction chain, and have certain antioxidant and anti-aging effects.

Consumption method of Chinese herbal decoction pieces of Cistanche

1. Make tea. It can be brewed with wolfberry, chrysanthemum, red dates, etc., and the taste is more delicious.

2. Sparkling wine. Take an appropriate amount of Cistanche, which can be combined with astragalus, desert ginseng, and other Chinese herbal medicines put into rice wine or white wine together and can be taken after 7 days. Nourishing health care, prolong life!
