Oxidation is the 'aging' of your body. As we breathe and eat
everyday our body is oxidizing. EX: cut an apple open, it turns
brown. Put lemon juice on it (natural acids) & its doesn't turn
brown as fast.

Oxidation in the human body refers to the process where molecules lose electrons, leading to the production of free radicals. Free radicals can cause cellular damage and are associated with various diseases, including cancer and aging. Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative damage.
