Oxidation is the revolution of electrons. Oxygen electrons that are allowed to move freely create a condition of free radicals. These free radicals react in such a way that they have a physical effect on electrons of the objects they come in contact with. Causing a shift or movement of loose electrons
In some materials it creates an accumulation in others decay.
Free radicals in cells causes cell decay.

A cell oxidation occurs inside in a Hem protein made up of four different polypeptide globin chains that contain between 141 and 146 amino acids called Hemoglobin, inside of this hem protein there is a hem that contains an Iron ion responsible for many functions and one of them will be the transportation of diatomic gases. In another words it carries Oxygen atoms within to where it is required in a life form. In order to properly transfer oxygen thru the body, Iron Ions need to oxidize at level 2 which means carry only two atoms of oxygen. If the Iron Ion oxidize let's say to a higher level it will not let go the oxygen atoms; therefore, it doesn't transport oxygen like it suppose to, there is no oxidation. Research must be done very carefully and thoroughly, since it involves many micro organisms and many functions. This is just a quick answer to the question. And all thought I am not a doctor or a biologist, I study many form of science which I have confronted the same question during my investigations before.
