Oxidation – the reunion of oxygen with another element – is a natural phenomenon that also occurs with every cell in our body, and consequently causes the production of free radicals that damage and can even destroy the cells, leading to ageing.

A diet high in antioxidants improves our body’s capacity to counteract these free radicals, a toxic garbage responsible for external signs, as ageing skin, and internal that may be the source of different cancer types.

In what concerns biochemistry and orthomolecular nutrition, oxidation takes place in fat acids, glucose, amino acids, etc.

One of the main sources of antioxidants are fruits and fresh vegetables, that is why we should always include them in our alimentary regime.

The Food Reeducation and Behavioural Program and Body Modelling by Clínica do Tempo®, enables an individualisation of the alimentary regime and weight and  fat excess reduction, in a healthy and permanent way. It is then possible to timely prevent different pathologies, of genetic origin or related to lifestyle and life experiences, thus prolonging longevity.
