Increase your consumption of antioxidants through foods and supplements. Those are the most important and effective. Free radicals are derived from many sources, including oxygen, sunlight, ingested foods and drinks. They are highly reactive molecules that can react with the cells in our bodies, causing damage . Much research is being done on free radicals and their contribution to such diseases as cataracts, macular degeneration, cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, osteoarthritis, etc.
Antioxidants are free radical scavengers.
Our body produces antioxidants to deal with the problem of free radicals. However, our systems can become overloaded by free radicals and cellular damage occurs. Taking in various antioxidants can help our bodies deal with the free radical load more easily, thus reducing the amount of cellular damage. First of all, increasing the daily consumption of fruits and vegetables is very important. The recommendation is 5-10 servings daily.
