I always mention\u00a0the word antioxidant in my articles, and a\u00a0lot of people have since asked me to explain more about what are antioxidants.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So here you go:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oxidative reaction:<\/strong> First we need to understand what an oxidative reaction is.\u00a0High levels of\u00a0blood cholesterol, high levels of blood sugar, high blood pressure, smoking, the surrounding pollution, and different types of\u00a0radiation create in your body what is known as \u2018an oxidative reaction\u2019.<\/p>\n

Under the effects\u00a0of this oxidative reaction, free radicals are generated in your body, which\u00a0in turn will\u00a0generate several harmful chemical reactions that lead to severe diseases like heart disease, arthritis, different types\u00a0of cancer and even more elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n

Antioxidants: <\/strong>As everything in our body is balanced, here comes the role of\u00a0antioxidants.\u00a0In reality, the antioxidants are some body substances, which completely\u00a0cut the chain of further oxidation of these free radicals.<\/p>\n

An eating plan containing plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains and nuts can supply all the antioxidants your body needs. The major antioxidants include Vitamin C, various kinds of berries, dark chocolate, green tea, olive oil, red wine and many more.<\/p>\n

Antioxidants are a booming market today with a wide variety of antioxidants available for everything from enhancing memory, immunity and athletic performance, as well as to treat various diseases. The list of such products is too long to reproduce here fully, but below is a list of the most popular antioxidants and their benefits.<\/p>\n
