    Oxygen is indispensable to our survival. However, oxygen can also undergo several chemical reactions at the same time, causing other molecules to "oxidize". And this oxidation will generate free atomic groups. The free atomic base is a quite complicated concept, which can cause various harms to the human body. Free atomic radicals are related to many diseases of our human beings, including cancer, coronary heart disease, premature aging, etc. The free atom base accelerates the aging process of the human body by destroying healthy cells, and can destroy the DNA in the nucleus, thereby causing cytopathy and canceration. Therefore, anti-oxidation is essential to the human body.
