oxiative stress = imbalance of freee radicals( are oxygen molecules that have more than one electron=very reative to other molecules . So if they react with DNAor lipids or proteins molecules =unstable = major free radicals .
Antioxideants - they can give up a molecule to the radical and still be stable and have no damage doen to the cell
homocysteine level -
Poor diet, lifestyle, social standing
