Acai Berry: Free Radicals
Free Radicals are chemicals that easily take part in chemical reactions. Inside your body, free radicals can damage your cells, contributing to aging and various disorders like cancer, heart disease and many others.
Free radicals are created when atoms are missing an electron and making them unstable. To become stable these atoms seek out other stable atoms to steal an electron. As this cycle continues cells are eventually damaged or destroyed.
Damaged cells replicate poorly and begin to function abnormally. The cells membranes may lose elasticity and restrict movement of essential nutrients into our cells and waste products out of the cells. The communication between cells can be disrupted or even stopped due to the lack of necessary enzymes that are responsible for it.
