Before the evolution of humans or their ancestors, the human body has been attacked by a harmful class of chemical agents. Although they are also known as "reactive oxygen species" and go by the abbreviation "ROS," they are known as "free radicals". Free radicals are produced by oxygen and compounds with a lot of oxygen [1].
