"In general, you need a balanced diet, constant exercise and the use of a series of antioxidant cosmetic products" said in the chat our expert on the subject, Paulo Figueiredo, Director of Latin America Perricone. Here are some of the questions users answered:
What are free radicals and how they affect our cells?
They are unstable oxygen molecules that enter the body and attack cells. They steal electrons from the molecule, damaging it and making it unstable. An important thing to know is that radicals are caused by the sun, pollution and food. Good nutrition helps fight free radicals in our body.
What are the factors that cause inflammation?
All products are based on Dr. Perricone fight free radicals and inflammation that attack the skin and health. Poor nutrition affects health because it triggers free radicals in blood sugar for example. There are also foods that cause inflammation in our body. Sugar has other harmful effects, because it sticks to skin collagen, elevated insulin levels and blood fat.
How do we fight against free radicals and inflammation?
First to nutrition, there are three types of food: carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The idea of Dr. Perricone is to eat a little of each. There are bad carbs like bread and pasta, and good as the fruit. We have to eat protein every day to repair cells damaged by free radicals. The best protein is the animal, such as chicken, egg and fish. Plant protein is very low. Fats like Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 are inflammatory. Other things to fight inflammation is the lifestyle. We sleep 8 hours a day for our body to recover from the damage of free radicals and inflammation.
