Dedicating time and effort to physical activities or following the proper diet is often difficult. This often leads to fatigue, lack of sleep, low immunity and heart disease. Is there a way to prevent such health issues? You may have heard of antioxidants and their effects on the overall health of individuals. But what are antioxidants, and how do they work?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"What-are-antioxidants?\">What are antioxidants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-68344 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Benefits-antioxidants-.jpg\" alt=\"Benefits antioxidants_activ living community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our bodies contain billions of cells which constantly produce energy. The cells require this energy to perform their daily functions, such as maintaining a healthy metabolism, providing energy to carry out everyday activities, etc. However, a cell\u2019s daily processes create waste products (free radicals, reactive oxygen species, etc.) that can damage cells. Antioxidants are nothing but chemicals that decrease the damaging effect of free radicals. The cells in your body also produce antioxidants to combat free radicals, but it may not be enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, do we have external sources of antioxidants that can benefit our health? The answer is yes. We provide you with some of the best antioxidant food for your diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"Nutritional-importance-of-antioxidants\">Nutritional importance of antioxidants<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typically, you\u2019ll find the following plant-based foods to be rich in antioxidants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vitamin A:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt and eggs, liver.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vitamin C: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Citrus fruits (sweet lime, oranges, watermelon, strawberries) and vegetables (broccoli).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Vitamin E: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Beta-Carotene: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with bright colours, such as carrots, spinach, and mango.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lycopene: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tomatoes and watermelon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Selenium: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rice, wheat, whole grains, cheese and corn.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong id=\"What-are-free-radicals?\">What are free radicals?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also free radicals that are constantly created in our bodies. They can negatively impact our health if not for antioxidants. However, they have vital functions for our body processes. For instance, your immunity system utilizes free radicals to fight off infections within the body. Hence, you need to have a balance between your free radicals and antioxidant content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your free radicals content exceeds the number of antioxidants, it can lead to you getting into an oxidative stress state. In addition, unchecked oxidative stress can also damage essential molecules and DNA strands. In addition, damaged DNAs also make you more susceptible to different types of cancer and influence your ageing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the factors that can cause the production of excessive free radicals and oxidative stress:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toxins\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High blood sugar levels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcohol intake<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air pollution<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive consumption of fatty acids\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive or too less oxygen in the body\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unchecked viral and bacterial infections\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive consumption of antioxidants<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong id=\"The-benefits-of-antioxidants-to-the-body\">The benefits of antioxidants\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-68345 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/what-are-antioxidants..jpg\" alt=\"what are antioxidants_activ living community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the benefits of antioxidants you can reap if you have a balanced antioxidant content in your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Antioxidants fight heart disease: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abnormal oxidation of fat may increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
