Oxidative stress and Olive Oil..

At thirties and worried of ageing ! Thanks to unhealthy lifestyle that leads to this ;) .Moving forward, now a days the unhealthy lifestyle leads to variety of diseases and yes oxidative stress is one of the disease which is result of unhealthy lifestyle.So we are going to discuss oxidative stress here 1st let me explain what actually oxidative stress is.


Oxygen acts as a fuel for our body to run it properly but here comes the free radicals that is just like thief expert in stealing electron from the body.If body doesn't have enough antioxidants for free radicals then the condition leads to "oxidative stress".I will make it more easy for you let us take the example of battery,battery doesn't perform well when voltage is too high or too low and same is the case in body cell,too high or too low cellular redox leads to premature ageing and cellular dysfunction.
But  yes there is one solution, by utilizing the goodness of olive oil we can fight against the oxidative stress and hence ageing.Olive oil contains highest amount of MUFA (mono unsaturated. fat)which doesn't oxidize easily and it also contains vit E and Polyphenols which protects the cell from the damages caused by free radicals.So,include olive oil in your diet and stay healthy.. :)
