We Know: All About Antioxidants

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are chemicals found in certain foods that prevent the oxidation of fat molecules. This oxidation process is what produces free radical molecules that cause degenerative diseases and aging. Antioxidants contribute to your overall well being and ensure good health.

What foods contain antioxidants?

Fruits and vegetables are fantastic sources of antioxidants. A good guide to follow is--the brighter the color of the food, the higher concentration of antioxidants it contains. Here are some foods rich in antioxidants that are sure to keep you healthy for life.

  • Pinto beans, kidney beans and black beans
  • Blueberries, strawberries and raspberries
  • Apples
  • Potatoes
  • Walnuts
  • Cloves
  • Tomatoes
  • Spinach
  • Soybeans
  • Garlic

What are the benefits of antioxidants?

Antioxidants in any form are greatly beneficial to your health, but eating fruits and vegetables far surpasses taking supplements. The natural antioxidants in these foods include Vitamin C and E, lycopene, betacarotene and flavonoids. These chemicals act as enzymes and further prevent the production of free radicals. Antioxidants prevent cancers, aging, diabetes, heart disease and other age-related diseases.

Do antioxidants really slow down the aging process?

The answer appears to be yes. Antioxidants work to counteract the damaging effects oxygen can have on the body. It is believed that oxygen is a prime contributor to aging and certain diseases. So, by eating foods rich in antioxidants, you are very likely to maintain a healthy mind and body for your entire life, not just during your youth!
