This week you will be discussing electrochemistry. It is important to understand how redox (reduction/oxidation) occurs in the human body, and how your diet and lifestyle contributes to these mechanisms. This is especially true considering how essential the balance between free radicals and antioxidants is for proper physiological function. We often hear about the importance of antioxidants in foods and vitamins, but have you ever considered how impactful they may be for your body specifically?
Initial Response:
What contributes to free radicals in the body? How are they introduced?
What types of consequences can occur if there is an excess of free radicals in the body?
Do you take radicals in the body into consideration when planning your meals?
What types of changes does this research encourage you to personally make?
