The Wonders of Antioxidants
Posted on 17. Mar, 2010 by admin in Uncategorized
Certain vitamins, herbal medicines, and other food products offer antioxidant effects. Have you ever wondered what antioxidants are? Before taking them, it is best to know them first.
What are Antioxidants?
Antioxidants are compound substances that prevents cellular or tissue damage caused by oxidation. The common effects of oxidation resulted from the exposure to free radicals. Free radicals are usually formed when hydrogen or oxygen loses an electron. An imbalance between an atom’s positive and negative charges occurs. The atom becomes reactive by stealing an electron from an adjacent atom to reestablish equilibrium in its positive and negative charges. The atoms, or molecules, that have lost their corresponding electrons are said to be oxidized. These oxidized substances are very damaging to the cell, which includes its DNA and other cell components.
How do Antioxidants Work?
To combat this condition, antioxidants play a very significant role. Antioxidants tend to donate electrons to stabilize the oxidized atoms or molecules. In this way, antioxidants can repair existing imbalances, thereby, preventing cellular damage from oxidation.
Damaged caused by free radicals is associated with the following diseases: cataract, cancer, premature aging, heart disease, bronchitis, emphysema, and many more. With antioxidants, occurrence of such disease can be prevented.
Where do Antioxidants Come From?
The next thing is to find out different sources of these antioxidants. They are commonly rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. For vitamin A, food sources include eggs, spinach, and squash. They also contain beta-carotene, which is a vitamin A precursor. Beef and broccoli are good sources of vitamin B1; milk and milk products for vitamin B2; salmon for vitamin B3; bananas for vitamin B6, beans for folate, or folic acid; and crabs for vitamin B12. Citrus fruits are excellent sources of vitamin C. Vitamin D can be found in shrimp and other seafood. And lastly, seafood and asparagus are good sources for vitamin E.
Indeed, antioxidants have beneficial effects in the body. It does not only make you look younger, it also makes you feel healthy. The choice on where you can get antioxidants remains on you. Increase your awareness on checking food, or vitamin, supplements rich in antioxidants.
