FAQ Antioxidant
Antioxidants are important for health because they neutralize free radicals, which are harmful molecules produced by our body or from external sources like pollution and UV rays. By reducing the damage from these free radicals, antioxidants help prevent serious diseases such as heart disease, cancer and brain disorders.
The body creates antioxidants through special enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, which help neutralize free radicals and keep cells healthy. It also turns certain nutrients into antioxidants to fight oxidative stress.
Antioxidants can be found in a variety of foods, particularly fruits and vegetables. Common sources include berries (such as blueberries and strawberries), dark leafy greens (like spinach and kale), nuts and seeds, whole grains, and herbs and spices (like turmeric and cinnamon).
Yes, adopting a healthy lifestyle can enhance your body's ability to manage oxidative stress. Regular physical activity, proper 8 hours of sleep and reducing exposure to environmental toxins (such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption) can all support your body's natural antioxidant defences.
Certain groups such as individuals with chronic illnesses, smokers and those exposed to high levels of environmental pollutants, may have higher antioxidant needs. These individuals might benefit from increased antioxidant intake through diet or supplements.
