Health Benefits of Antioxidants

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: chickie maxwell

Antioxidants are considered as the modern man's best friend. They are known nurturers and protectors of our body cells; they can repel disease and promote good health. These chemicals are known to come from natural foods while we can also have them through supplements. Examples of these healthy substances are vitamins A, C and E, lycopene and beta carotene. These substances also safeguard our cells from free radicals, the by-products of oxidation process, which are said to cause cancer, heart disease, aging, Alzheimer's disease and other diseases.

Free radicals are naturally formed in the body but they can increase due to other factors like alcohol, smoking, stress, air pollution, too much sunlight and toxic substances such as asbestos and radiation.

It's interesting to note that the oxygen that is needed so much by our body is also the medium of the production of dangerous substances, free radicals. When oxygen molecules are electrically charged, they then have the capability to steal electrons from surrounding molecules, making damage to our cell's DNA. Through time, the harm can be irreversible and can be fatal. Antioxidants work by 'cleaning' free radicals by neutralizing their electric charge and preventing free radicals from getting electrons from neighboring molecules.

Healthy people also have free radicals in the body, however when the buildup of these substances become excessive, they can trigger oxidative stress which can also lead to the formation of diseases.

An antioxidant can also reduce the physical signs of aging by reducing the appearance of wrinkles and protecting the skin. Other studies have discovered that supplements can also help safeguard our skin from the sun's damage. Some researchers have discovered that taking vitamin E supplements of 1000 IU and vitamin C of 2000 mg every day for 8 days has improved resistance from sunburn by 20 percent. Other studies have also discovered that a combination of lycopene, beta-carotene and lutein when taken for 3 months can also decrease the risk of sunburn.

Supplements can give you with these healthy substances but the best way to have them is through eating natural foods. Having a diet loaded with these healthy substances can help you to stay young, feel good inside-out and steer clear from deadly diseases.

According to research, there are some health conditions that can be improved with the intake of antioxidants. These include the following.

Fertility. Studies have shown that men who were provided lycopene, vitamins C and E, selenium, zinc, garlic and folate had more than twice the success in IVF (in vitro fertilization). Damage to sperm due to free radicals is thought to be one possible cause of infertility.

Cystic Fibrosis. Antioxidant therapies with the assistance of glutathione and vitamins A, E, D and K were proved successful. People with this disease can have trouble digesting food but studies are on their way to transfer antioxidants through inhalers.

Allergies and asthma. Children who are known eaters of eggplants, tomatoes and green beans have less probability of suffering asthma. Antioxidants beta carotene, alpha carotene, lycopene and vitamin C may help protect tissues of the lungs.
