Antioxidants

Antioxidants, in broad terms, are molecules that stabilize “free radicals” (or “oxidants”) inside the body. Free radicals are electronically charged molecules that react easily with and damage other molecules. Some vitamins and minerals have powerful antioxidant properties (particularly vitamins A, C, and E), selenium, zinc, and the phytonutrients that give fruits and vegetables their rich colors. These include, for example, beta-carotene and anthocyanin. Antioxidants are said to help protect against and also treat certain cancers, help maintain good eyesight, and help prevent LDL (“bad” cholesterol) from being oxidized. LDL cholesterol is even more dangerous when oxidized because it increases the risk of narrowed, hardened arteries (a condition known as atherosclerosis) and hence the risk of heart attack or stroke.
