We talk a lot about ageingā¦but rarely about whatās driving it.
One of those drivers is oxidative stress.
Every day, free radicals are created through normal metabolism, but also things like stress, poor sleep, UV exposure, smoking and pollution.
Antioxidants are part of your bodyās defence system. They help neutralise this damage and protect your cells.
What I find fascinating is that research looking at biological age (how old your body appears at a cellular level) found that people with higher antioxidant levels tended to show more favourable ageing markers across multiple body systems.
Now this doesnāt mean antioxidants stop ageing.
But it does suggest that understanding your antioxidant status may give useful insight into how well your body is coping with everyday stress and supporting healthy ageing.
