Antioxidants not only protect you from disease, but they can also balance your immune system and protect you from toxins. In fact, the list of beneficial properties of antioxidants is almost never-ending.
So how do you get these miracles of science into your body? Below, we break down the answer to this question so you can learn how to increase your antioxidant intake and live a healthier lifestyle.
Antioxidants are molecules that prevent oxidization. They're often used to preserve foods to stop them from going bad.
They can also protect the cells in a living organism (like us) from being damaged.
Cell damage is caused by stressors that are known as free radicals. These free radicals can cause damage to your DNA which accelerates the aging process and can cause diseases like cancer.
Oxidative stress-causing free radicals are caused by exposure to air pollution and toxins, smoking, a bad diet, getting too much sun, and drinking too much alcohol, among other causes.
Antioxidants can protect and, in some cases, reverse the damage caused by these free radicals.
Antioxidants have a surprising abundance of health benefits.
Consuming enough antioxidants in your diet may protect you from diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. This is because antioxidants can help reduce inflammation in the body, and inflammation may contribute to the development of these diseases.
Antioxidants also support the health of our brain. They're vital for maintaining mental fitness, memory function, and mood stability. Research has also shown that antioxidants slow down the degeneration of the brain as we age.
The brain is vulnerable to oxidative stress because it has a limited antioxidant capacity, so the more antioxidants you can get through diet or supplementation, the better!
There are several types of antioxidants found in food sources.
These include Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and flavonoids. Where the antioxidant activity takes place in your cells depends on whether the antioxidant is fat or water-soluble. Foods that contain high levels of antioxidants tend to be dark in color. That's those much-desired flavonoids!
These foods include (but aren't limited to):
Drinks such as green tea (including green tea extracts) and coffee are also full of health-giving antioxidants.
Eating a diet rich in plant-based foods can help you to get the right amount of antioxidants in your diet.
If you find it hard to get enough variety in your diet, there's always the option of supplementing antioxidants. Supplements are a simple, convenient way to ensure your body gets the levels of antioxidants it needs to stay fit and healthy.
Having enough antioxidants in your body is essential for every aspect of a healthy and long life. It's always the right time to increase your intake of these vital nutrients, whether you do it by increasing your fruit and vegetable intake or taking a supplement.
