Unfortunately, we haven't yet found the elixir of eternal youth, but advances in science have enabled us to combat oxidative stress, one of the main factors in ageing. One of the substances responsible for delaying the signs of ageing is astaxanthin, a powerful natural antioxidant from the carotenoid family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is able to protect the body against oxidation and the development of various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, cataracts, macular degeneration, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Found in microalgae&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/algicel.pt\/en\/haematococcus-pluvialis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Haematococcus pluvialis<\/em><\/a>In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, its consumption can relieve the pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-porque-oxida-o-organismo\"><strong>Because oxidates the body<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oxygen plays an important role in cell metabolism. However, in excess, it has a harmful effect known as cellular oxidation, which leads to ageing. This means that an increase in free radicals causes certain atoms to become unstable and then associate with others, which can lead to an increase in oxygen levels.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/algicel.pt\/en\/blog\/how-astaxanthin-protects-the-brain-from-alzheimers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">damage cells through oxidation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This natural occurrence varies in its intensity depending on different variables such as the individual's genetics, lifestyle, diet and others. It progresses slowly, but leaves very noticeable sequelae in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-astaxantina-no-combate-a-oxidacao-celular\"><strong>Astaxanthin in the fight against cellular oxidation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Often the number of free radicals far exceeds our ability to produce the antioxidants needed to fight them, and the result is a weakened immune system due to damaged cell membranes. For these reasons, it is extremely important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, with physical exercise, combined with a healthy diet, with foods rich in antioxidant substances, such as fruit and vegetables that promote our body's resistance to oxidation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some studies have concluded that we should consume 4 mg of astaxanthin a day to properly combat the oxidation process. Achieving this dose through diet is practically impossible, so experts recommend taking food supplements to obtain the necessary benefits attributed to astaxanthin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in the body, it helps to protect the body against oxidative stress, fighting excess free radicals and helping to delay the dreaded ageing process mentioned at the beginning of this text.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who wouldn't want to discover the formula for staying young and healthy?
