Antioxidants

What Are Antioxidants and Why Are They Important?

Antioxidants are natural or synthetic compounds that protect your body from oxidative stress by neutralising free radicals – unstable molecules that can damage cells and accelerate ageing.

This oxidative damage is linked to a wide range of health concerns, including: 

• Inflammation 

• Immune system dysfunction 

• Cognitive decline and neurological disorders 

• Allergies and asthma 

• Premature ageing 

Free radicals are produced naturally during processes like energy production, but they’re also triggered by external factors like pollution, smoke, alcohol, charred meats, and processed foods. 

This type of damage contributes to ageing, inflammation, immune dysfunction, cognitive decline, allergies, asthma, neurological illnesses, and more. While free radicals are naturally produced in the body during processes like energy production, they also come from environmental toxins such as smoke, exhaust fumes, and certain food and drinks like alcohol and charred meat.

Antioxidants help shield the body from these harmful effects, and many people may also experience increased energy levels when their antioxidant levels are sufficient.

The Role of Antioxidants in Health and Wellness 

By boosting your antioxidant intake, you can support your body’s natural defences against these harmful effects. Many people also report experiencing improved energy levels, better skin health, and enhanced immune function when their antioxidant levels are balanced. 

Diet vs. Supplementation 

Although a diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides important antioxidants, some individuals may benefit from additional supplementation.
