Free radicals are reactive molecules with unpaired electrons, causing them to seek stability by taking electrons from other molecules. This process, called oxidative stress, can damage cells and is linked to aging and diseases. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating electrons, preventing harm.
Fullness hormones induce a feeling of satiety and reduce the desire to eat. Cholecystokinin (CCK) and leptin are examples of fullness hormones.
