What Are Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)? - Dr. Berg

Download Keto Essentials

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about ROS, which stands for Reactive Oxygen Species. It can either be free radical (unpaired electrons) or non-free radical involving oxygen. The body makes ROS and it can also be generated from the environment as well.

The reason why the body makes ROS is that there is a natural process or a natural programmed cell death in the body called Apoptosis, a condition where the body is killing off certain cells that is essential for life.

ROS has the ability to eliminate certain things that you don’t want in the body.

Ketones reduce excess ROS in the body and can act as an antioxidant to protect the nerves.

Things that Causes the Body to Produce High Levels of ROS:
• Metal Toxic
• Chemical
• UV Radiation
• Exercise
• Stress
• Low Oxygen – Hypoxia
• Pollution
• Smoking
• Infection
