An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules.

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, leading to chain reactions that may damage cells.

Antioxidants such as thiols or ascorbic acid (vitamin C) terminate these chain reactions.

The term "antioxidant" is mainly used for two different groups of substances: industrial chemicals which are added to products to prevent oxidation, and natural chemicals found in foods and body tissue which are said to have beneficial health effects.

Superfood is a marketing term used to describe foods with supposed health benefits.

The term is not in common use by dietitians and nutrition scientists, many of whom dispute that particular foods have the health benefits often claimed by advocates of particular food.

Catherine Collins, for instance, the chief dietitian at St George's Hospital in London has stated that "[t]he term 'superfoods' is at best meaningless and at worst harmful...

There are so many wrong ideas about superfoods that I don't know where best to begin to dismantle the whole concept.".

Omega-3 fatty acids—also called ω-3 fatty acids or n-3 fatty acids—are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with a double bond (C=C) at the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain.

The fatty acids have two ends, the carboxylic acid (COOH) end, which is considered the beginning of the chain, thus "alpha", and the methyl (CH3) end, which is considered the "tail" of the chain, thus "omega"; the double bond is at omega minus 3 (not dash 3).

One way in which a fatty acid is named is determined by the location of the first double bond, counted from the methyl end, that is, the omega (ω) or the n- end.

However, the standard (IUPAC) chemical nomenclature system starts from the carbonyl end.

Cosmetics, also known as make-up, are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance or fragrance of the body.

Many cosmetics are designed for use of applying to the face and hair.

They are generally mixtures of chemical compounds; some being derived from natural sources (such as coconut oil), and some being synthetics.

Common cosmetics include lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, rouge, skin cleansers and skin lotions, shampoo, hairstyling products (gel, hair spray, etc), perfume and cologne.

Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of pseudoscientific, alternative medicine that employs an array of practices branded as "natural", "non-invasive", and as promoting "self-healing." The ideology and methods of naturopathy are based on vitalism and self-healing, rather than evidence-based medicine.

Naturopathic practitioners generally recommend against modern medical practices, including but not limited to medical testing, drugs, vaccinations, and surgery.

Instead, study and practice are focused on unscientific notions, often leading naturaphic doctors to diagnoses and treatments that have no factual merit.
