Welcome to the Thrive Lab, where we discuss the science behind healthy eating and thriving in the sun.
What are Free Radicals?
Free radicals are atoms with unpaired electrons. Produced by oxygen metabolizing in the body, they steal electrons from other atoms that make up cell membranes, cellular proteins, lipids and DNA.
Having some free radicals in the body is a good thing, but too many cause significant damage and eventually disease.
Do you know how to protect yourself (and your skin) from free radical damage?
