Antioxidant System
The antioxidant system is a network of biochemical pathways and molecules that work to protect the body from damage caused by substances called free radicals. It is a vital part of maintaining good health and preventing disease. Free radicals can lead to oxidative stress and damage to cell membranes, proteins, and DNA, which increases the risk of many diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. The antioxidants work to neutralize the free radicals and repair any damage they may have caused. As such, a strong antioxidant system is essential for optimal health and well-being. Numerous foods, including fruits and vegetables, provide key antioxidants that can help support the body's antioxidant system, as well as dietary supplements.
