Antioxidants are powerful compounds that protect your body from damage caused by free radicals—unstable molecules that can harm cells and contribute to aging and chronic diseases. Including antioxidant-rich foods in your diet is essential for maintaining optimal health and longevity.
What Are Antioxidants?
Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals, reducing their ability to cause harm. They are naturally found in many foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, and play a critical role in preventing oxidative stress, which is linked to various health issues.
Top Sources of Antioxidants
- Vitamin C: Found in oranges, strawberries, bell peppers, and kiwi, vitamin C supports immune health and skin repair.
- Vitamin E: Present in nuts, seeds, and leafy greens, vitamin E protects cells from oxidative damage.
- Beta-Carotene: Found in carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach, beta-carotene converts to vitamin A, supporting vision and immunity.
- Polyphenols: Found in berries, green tea, and dark chocolate, polyphenols are linked to heart health and brain function.
Health Benefits of Antioxidants
A diet rich in antioxidants can:
- Reduce inflammation and support joint health.
- Protect against chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
- Promote skin health and slow signs of aging.
- Enhance brain health and cognitive function.
