More About Antioxidants…
Antioxidants have become popular in recent years for their proposed ability to slow ageing and impacts the free radicals in your body.
You can consume them through everyday foods and through supplements, so why not see what they can do for you?
What are antioxidants and free radicals?
Free radicals are waste by-products of our natural cell function, and our bodies struggle to process them as they have one less electron than required. As a result, they can cause oxidative stress.
Our bodies produce antioxidants to neutralise free radicals by giving them the missing electron and allowing the body to process them. However, things like inflammation, UV exposure, smoking and more can tip the balance in the free radical’s favour.
What foods are high in antioxidants?
A lot of foods are naturally high in antioxidants to support your bodily function, but they should always be consumed in moderation.
- Dark chocolate
- Kale
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Goji Berries
- Pecans
Can you consume too many antioxidants?
Everything in moderation is the go-to phrase, isn’t it? Some studies have linked higher doses of antioxidants to certain health problems – it’s all about balance between the Free Radicals and the Antioxidants, so only go with the recommended dosages.
Is coffee an antioxidant?
Coffee is an excellent antioxidant, and medium roasted is said to be the best. However, too much can impact your circadian rhythm, so drink it in moderation. Decaf coffee is also full of antioxidants (though not as many), so perhaps swap to decaf in the afternoon.
The main types of antioxidants
Antioxidants are substances that can help the body and give those free radicals a fix – there are plenty to choose from including:
- Vitamin A, C and E
- Beta-carotene
- Selenium
- Manganese
- Lycopene
