Antioxidants in Health and Disease
Antioxidants are compounds that help protect cells from damage caused by potentially harmful molecules known as free radicals. In the human body, antioxidants help prevent and treat a range of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. They also play an important role in aging, helping to protect against age-related diseases. Antioxidants are found in a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and grains. They can also be found in supplements, such as vitamins C and E. Increasing antioxidant intake can improve overall health and reduce the risk of developing serious illnesses.
