<h3>What are antioxidants and free radicals?</h3>
Antioxidants and free radicals are the chemicals that are naturally found in your body and the production of these can be increased by diet and the environment.
Antioxidants are the elements that obstruct the activity of free radicals (bad elements).
<h3>What are free radicals?</h3>
Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals that can destroy cells in our body. A lot of researches have been conducted on how to damage free radicals. These elements might develop cancer and lead to various health problems.
Generally, a free radical comes when molecules or atoms gain or lose an electron. All the cells in your body are made up of various molecules and atoms.
Atoms have electrons surrounding them in an outer shell. When a weak bond between atoms splits, it leads to the formation of free radicals that is looking for the electron.
More number of free radicals can pose a threat to the components that develops cells. Moreover, environmental factors including cigar and other environmental toxins and pollutants can increase free radicals.
<h3>What are anti-oxidants?</h3>
Anti-oxidants are the elements that neutralize free radicals and prevent them from causing damage. The body naturally creates antioxidants, which are known as endogenous.
<h3>Which foods are preferable?</h3>
Many foods can give antioxidants such as blueberries, red kidney beans, cranberries, blackberries, etc. Few apples like granny smith, broccoli, garlic, green tea, etc. are also good suppliers of antioxidants.
As the name implies, anti-oxidants prevents the oxidation of other molecules and traps free radicals from causing harm.
Studies revealed that increase in antioxidants prevents free radicals that develop cancer. But it is not recommended to consume foods that are high in anti-oxidants. Everything in moderation will be better always.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row])
