Why is oxidization in cells in the human body bad?
In: 4
It isn’t always bad. Oxidizing glucose is how your body produces most of its energy, for example.
But when we talk about oxidative stress, we’re talking about cases where chemicals in your body that perform some function are getting oxidized in ways they’re not supposed to. That oxidation changes their chemical and physical properties in a way that prevents them from performing whatever function they’re supposed to perform, which makes your body not work as well as it otherwise would.
