The reputation of Vitamin C as an immunity booster and beating colds and flu is incontestable. However, it is also an antioxidant that can address not just diseases but ageing issues.
It all starts with oxidative stress. Oxidation happens when our bodies process the oxygen we breathe and our cells produce energy from it. This process produces free radicals which results damage to cells and the amount of free radicals become oxidative stress.
Excess amount of free radicals go on about their business and cause the cells to function the way normal, healthy cells do. To simply put it, we age because of damaged cells and this happens all the time. These free radicals have three types: reactive oxygen species, reactive carbonyl species, and reactive nitrogen species.
Reactive oxygen species are found in the air we breathe, cigarette smoke, UV rays, stress and pollution. These destroy the skin’s moisture barrier, causes inflammation, results in wrinkles, brown spots and rough texture.
Reactive carbonyl species result from excessive alcohol consumption and intake of carbohydrates such as sugar, rice and pasta. They make the skin sag, causes deep wrinkles and fine lines and dark, discolored brown spots.
