Aging is caused by our genes by 25% and by environmental factors by 75%.
Among the environmental factors that accelerate aging the most are: solar radiation, pollution, stress, sedentary lifestyle based on ultraprocessed products.
As you see, it is in our hands to modify these factors, at least dietary habits and protect us from the sun with sunscreens.
What causes all these factors in our health is a cellular oxidative stress. The sun's rays or car smoke release free radicals that attack our cells continuously.
An ideal defense mechanism is to ingest antioxidants in the form of food supplements to defend against oxidative stress.
Substances such as vitamin C, resveratrol, hydroxytyrosol, zinc or selenium are powerful antioxidants that will slow down the aging process.
The more protected and strong our cells are, the better we will fight diseases to come.
