The government considers the aging process to be a normal physiological event and not a disease. This opinion may soon change. Recent scientific information indicates the negative events associated with aging can be attenuated, and the aging process may be slowed down. See how you feel about the government's opinion after reading today's article.

Redox Balance

A key factor in maintaining a healthy cell is redox balance. This simply means that our cells must have a certain ratio between the oxidized and reduced forms of specific molecules comprising key redox circuits in our cells and tissues. The ratio of the reduced to the oxidized state of these key molecules, usually given in millivolts, is known as the redox state. So what does that mean? First, I will discuss the three key molecules produced by our cells, and involved in maintaining redox balance.
