Factors that produce free radicals
Free radical damage affects every cell in the body, and can be caused by a number of factors.
- Air Pollution:
Free radicals can increase in your body when you inhale ozone, car exhaust, and other pollutants.
- Cigarette Smoking:
A single puff can contain up to 100 trillion free radicals.
- Radiation:
X-rays, ultraviolet light, high voltage wiring, computers, microwave ovens, and electric blankets can all be sources of damaging free radicals.
- Barbecued and fried foods: The combination of high-temperature heated oils and oxygen is the ideal condition for free radical generation.
- Pesticides and other chemical contaminants:
A side effect of industrialized food production, these toxins found in fresh foods can cause free radical generation.
- High-intensity exercise:
Marathon runners, competitive athletes, or anyone who participates in intense workouts increases their level of free radicals in the body.
- Emotional stress:
Excess free radicals may occur when you are under excessive mental stress and anxiety.
