Symptoms:
Aging of skin and cells in all the organs of the body is part of a natural process, which is determined by the genes and the oxidation process taking place in each cell of the body. The enhanced oxidation adversely affects the immunity system. The immune system plays a large role inaging process with its operation center located in the thymus gland. When the immune system of the body fails due to enhanced cellur oxidation, organs are at the mercy of virus, bacteria etc.
Causes:
On the other hand, it is known that smoking and polluted air produce molecular crossings in cells and these are responsible for skin and tissue hardening which causes brittle and wrinkle skin. This affect of molecular crossing is also produced by free radicals, which tend to destroy and degenerate cells, proteins, tissues as well as the heart of cells the DNA oxidation. Ultra violet rays from the sun produce free radicals, by the normal metabolism of certain fats and polluted air. Free radicals affect cerebral cells causing old age diseases such as the loss of memory, depression, insomnia, sexual impotency, arteriosclerosis etc.
