Tech's Hidden Toll: Oxidative Stress Unveiled
The Invisible Threat: How Technology Induces Oxidative Stress We live in an age of technological marvels. Smartphones, laptops, and smart devices are seamlessly integrated into our lives, offering incredible convenience and connectivity. But behind this shiny facade lurks a hidden danger: oxidative stress. While we often associate oxidative stress with aging and lifestyle choices like smoking, the truth is that technology itself can significantly contribute to this silent cellular assault. Understanding Oxidative Stress: At its core, oxidative stress occurs when there's an imbalance between the production of free radicals (unstable molecules) and our body's ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. Free radicals damage cells, proteins, and DNA, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer,...
