As you might know, there is iron in blood (makes it red - just like rust) Oxidation is another word for rust. Iron in or blood cells gets into larger cells and causes them to 'rust'. The cell dies and another one has to take its place, but the body cant keep up sometimes (for complex reasons) that's why its a good idea to take anti-oxidants (certain vitamins).
