Oxygen: Ageing you?

“Could oxygen actually be ageing you?” Sounds weird? Let me explain.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a special type of oxygen molecule. They float around your body creating damage especially if you have diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, obesity, or if you’re aging faster than you’d like.

Here’s how to know if you have high oxidative stress

• Feeling tired despite good sleep
• Slow recovery from workouts
• Signs of early aging

Top causes

• High sugar and fat overload your mitochondria
• Poor sleep (less than 7 hours or too late)
• Mental stress
• Excess exercise without recovery
• Smoking & alcohol

Solutions are simple but powerful

• Load up on antioxidants from real, colorful foods:  Fruits - pomegranate, blueberries, blackberries, jamun, dark grapes.  Veggies - spinach, moringa, beetroot.  Herbs - Tulsi, turmeric, green tea
• Focus on Glutathione the master antioxidant found in spinach, asparagus, avocado, or as a supplement with vitamin C under medical guidance.
• Prioritize proper sleep start by 10–11 PM for 7–9 hours to boost natural melatonin
• Reduce stress, smoking, and alcohol.

Less ROS → better recovery, healthier aging, improved energy, and a chance to reverse lifestyle-related disorders naturally. Start small, eat colorful, sleep early, and take care of your stress your body will thank you. Your body doesn’t need perfect habits, it needs consistent small wins. Start today.

PS: Which of these ROS triggers hits you the most - stress, late sleep, or sugar?
