Antioxidants are molecules that help fight free radicals in your body. Free radicals are known to be harmful molecules with incomplete electrons, which make them unstable and highly reactive. As they react easily with other molecules, they “steal” electrons from other compounds such as fats, proteins, cell membranes - a process known as oxidation. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body1.
Prolonged oxidative stress can cause damage to cells and molecules in the body and is a key contributor to numerous health conditions such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and premature ageing.
Common Sources of Free Radicals
Free radicals are produced naturally in the body as part of our body’s normal metabolic processes,
but external factors can further speed up the production of free radicals causing an imbalance. External factors that can contribute to such occurrence include:
- Regular prolonged exposure to Sun and UV rays
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Air pollution
- Excessive intake of processed and fried foods
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Air pollution
- Excessive intake of processed and fried foods
How Antioxidants help to tip the odds back in your favour
Antioxidants play a unique and important role in neutralizing free radicals in our body by ‘donating’ electrons without becoming free radicals themselves.
Antioxidant intake either from food sources or health supplements benefit our overall health and immune system by further raising our body’s natural defence to combat the harmful effects of free radicals.
You can think of them as friendly allied forces coming on-board to strengthen your body’s existing defence force.
