At Revive Infusions and Wellness, we prioritize your holistic health and well-being. A key aspect of maintaining optimal health is understanding oxidative stress—a process that, if unmanaged, can lead to various health challenges.
What Is Oxidative Stress?
Oxidative stress occurs when there's an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, leading to inflammation and contributing to aging and diseases. Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals, maintaining balance and promoting health.
The Impact of Seed Oils
Seed oils, such as canola, soybean, and sunflower oil, are prevalent in many diets due to their affordability and high smoke points. These oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which, in excessive amounts, can disrupt the balance with omega-3 fatty acids, potentially leading to inflammation. Additionally, the refining process and high-heat cooking can cause these oils to oxidize, increasing free radical production and contributing to oxidative stress.

Strategies to Mitigate Oxidative Stress
To support your body's balance and reduce oxidative stress:
Choose Healthy Fats: Opt for oils with a better balance of fatty acids, such as olive oil or avocado oil, which are less prone to oxidation and offer additional health benefits.
Incorporate Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Consume a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds rich in antioxidants to combat free radicals.
Consider Professional Wellness Support: At Revive Infusions and Wellness, we offer therapies designed to enhance your body's natural defenses against oxidative stress.
By making informed dietary choices and seeking professional wellness support, you can effectively manage oxidative stress and promote long-term health.
