What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are phytochemicals, vitamins and other nutrients that protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals. These free radicals can start chain reactions. When the chain reaction occurs in a cell, it can cause damage or death to the cell. Free radicals, if allowed to run free in the body, are believed to be involved in degenerating diseases. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions. The most commonly recognized naturally occurring antioxidants are Superoxide Dismutase, Catalase, and Glutathione. Other antioxidant agents are found in foods, such as dark green leafy vegetables. Foodstuff high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Beta-Carotene are believed to be the most beneficial. These nutrients are commonly found in fruits and vegetables.

What are free radicals and are they bad for us?

Free radicals are formed as part of our natural metabolism but also by environmental factors, including smoking, pesticides, pollution and radiation. Free radicals are unstable molecules, which react easily with essential molecules of our body, including DNA, fat and proteins. When a free radical attacks a molecule, it will then become a free radical itself, causing a chain reaction, which can result in the destruction of a cell. These various free radicals have different effects on body structures such as Cancer, damage to cardiovascular system, damage to immune system, damage to skin and organs through collagen cross-linking and damage to brain and cognitive functions. Free radicals are said to be the major factor of aging.
