Fight Ageing with Antioxidants




Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals and enzymes that protect the body by neutralizing free radicals –the chemical molecules that can harm your health and accelerate ageing. Research has shown that certain foods contain antioxidants, which help the body defend itself against free radicals. Antioxidants also help your body ward off diseases, strengthen the immune system and help you keep looking younger.


Antioxidants are betacarotene, vitamin C and vitamin E, plus the mineral selenium can easily be increased in your diet by increasing the consumption of fruits, nuts and vegetables. Asparagus, cantaloupe, carrots, dried apricots, green beans, peaches, spinach, sweet potatoes and tomato juice are abundant in beta- carotene.


Vitamin C is found in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, grape fruit juice, green peppers, orange juice, oranges and papaya. Almonds hazelnuts, wheat germ and oil, sunflower seeds and oil are fall of vitamin E. Selenium is found in broccoli, cabbage, onions, seafood and wholegrain cereals and breads. Keep in mind that the fresher the food and lower the heat to which it is exposed, the higher its nutrient content.


While the use of antioxidants to slow down or prevent the ageing process makes sense studies have yet to conclusively validate it. Taking large doses of some antioxidants, such as vitamin E may actually be harmful. A doctor`s proper supplementary dose of antioxidants, if at all, to lower the risk of side effects.
