Reduction (in the Context of ORP): A chemical process where a substance gains electrons, usually from a reducing agent like low ORP water. In this process, free radicals are neutralized by the donation of electrons, which stabilizes them and prevents oxidative damage to cells. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation and is crucial for maintaining cellular health and reducing oxidative stress.
These glossary entries break down the concepts related to negative ions, electron donation, and their role in reducing oxidative stress in the body.
