This vitamin works as an antioxidant, ie helps prevent some of the daily effects of oxidation caused in part because we breathe oxygen and partly because we are exposed to powerful oxidizers such as ozone, cigarette smoke, etc..
Oxidation of our body is basically “that are damaging our tissues are sometimes almost imperceptibly, but this damage accumulates and ultimately causes disease,” said Dr. Amabile. The idea of using vitamin E is in a preventive way for us to reach maturity with better health.
The real effects of the consumption of this vitamin is difficult to detect individually, as there is no point of comparison, but there have been studies showing that populations in those who ingest vitamin E is a lower overall incidence of cardiovascular and degenerative diseases.
