An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body is referred to as an oxidative stress. Excess free radicals can cause damage to fatty tissue, DNA, and protein in the body which can lead to a vast number of diseases. Oxidative stress can significantly contribute to aging. Oxidative stress cannot be prevented but can be reduced by eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin E and C, fish, nuts, turmeric, onion, garlic, and dark leafy greens. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to oxidative stress and aging. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies, and advanced studies on the topic have been included herein. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
