Oxidative stress is the simple result of an imbalance in the body. When our body functions normally, it produces aggressive substances for the cells, we speak of free radicals. These toxic substances are constantly being produced. In return, our body produces molecules capable of detoxifying this damage and repairing damaged cells. Our diet includes antioxidants capable of fighting against free radicals. A natural balance is created so that the cells remain protected.

The natural process of cellular respiration generates free radicals that are naturally regulated by the production of antioxidants in our body.

This imbalance is called oxidative stress : it is considered the major cause of cellular aging and the diseases associated with it. ( Oxidative stress in image: see the infographic )
