Oxidation is the process of cell damage due to the metabolization of oxygen which results in free radicals. These free radicals are very harmful because they steal electrons from other atoms or molecules which causes further damage to the cell and DNA.
Accumulation of these free radicals over time can give rise to several serious health conditions such as:
Heart disease
Liver damage
Cancer
Senile Dementia
Inflammatory joint disease
Asthma
Diabetes
Atherosclerosis
Degenerative eye disease
And the list goes on. What’s more the accumulation of these free radicals can speed up due to bad lifestyles and habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, pollution, sunlight, etc.
Hence it is very important to deal with free radicals in the early stages to avoid unnecessary damage to yourself.
How anti-oxidants can help?
Antioxidants help to reduce the risk of many diseases because antioxidants are capable of dealing with oxidation. These antioxidants help to deal with the free radicals and reduce the damage dealt with by them.
How cannabis can help?
People who use Medical marijuana cards know the capability of marijuana and how it can help to deal with several symptoms that even normal medicine can’t deal with. Likewise marijuana can also aid in fighting free radicals because they have antioxidative and neuroprotective properties themselves.
Cannabidiol, THC, and other cannabinoids are potent antioxidants that help to compensate for the free radicals produced by the process of oxidation.
Bottom line
Marijuana is beneficial for those who are suffering from problems caused by oxidants and free radicals. But to use marijuana with legal security one must have a Medical marijuana card which can only be procured through medical cannabis recommendation. So make sure you have an MMJ card first before you go out to buy medical marijuana for medical use.
