By Janice Buckler, BSc, RHN and Owner of Natural Legends Nutritional Consulting C ontinued from last month’s blog entitled “Free Radicals – Part One” THE PINCH TEST We are constantly being bombarded by free radicals, both from external and dietary sources. If you want to know how much your body has already been affected by free radicals, there is a simple test you can do. Extend your hand, palm down, pinch the skin on the back and lift the fold upwards. Release it and see how long it takes to go back in place. If you are young or have minimal free radical damage, it will snap back instantly. If not, it will slowly go back into place, sometimes taking several seconds, indicating considerable free-radical damage and cross- linkage of collagen.
