Free radicals can also lead to accelerated ageing and over time can deplete the immunity of the human body. They react with the body’s cells causing damage to the DNA and hindering cell reproduction and also stop the body from renewing itself.  Dying cells are not replaced quickly enough, the consequence is rapid ageing , this is clearly seen in the skin where excessive free radical activity causes tangible evidence of skin ageing .

The human body’s immune system cells deliberately create free radicals to neutralize viruses and bacteria, other major causes of their presence are heavy metals , stress, smoking, excessive alcohol, air pollution and other environmental factors.

We need to be careful with what we consume, drink and breathe to avoid increasing free radical activity in our body.

Heavy metals especially inorganic heavy metals are becoming an increasingly common source of free radicals. It is important therefore that checking for heavy metals in the body is one of the steps taken to control free radical activity in the body.

An effective way to control free radical activity in the body is to consume sufficient antioxidants , most of the necessary antioxidants can be found in food such as

• Fresh fruits and vegetables
• Food rich in Vitamin C
• Food rich in Vitamin E

Antioxidant nutrients can help protect the body against free radical damage, however taking supplements to reduce free radicals is sometimes essential to helps boost the immunity of the body.

It is a good practice to measure free radical activity in the body on a regular basis. Malondialdehyde is a by-product of free radical activity and this is what the test kit measures.
