Preventing free radical damage
Free radicals are formed from oxidative processes in the body - which are easily triggered by stress, environmental pollution or UV rays. These molecules can attack cells, causing sudden changes and structural damage, leading to many diseases such as cancer, arthritis, respiratory diseases and especially heart disease.
Antioxidants have the ability to neutralize free radicals, thereby minimizing cell damage and protecting the body from chronic diseases related to the cardiovascular system.
Boosts immunity and overall health
According to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, antioxidants play a role in protecting the immune system - a key factor determining longevity and quality of life. Maintaining cell structure and function helps improve resistance, thereby supporting the heart to function effectively.
Some typical antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamin C also help prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and help improve eyesight, skin and hair.
Reduce inflammation - protect the cardiovascular system
Chronic inflammation is a leading risk factor for heart disease. Antioxidants such as flavonoids and anthocyanins are abundant in berries, which significantly reduce inflammatory reactions in the body. In addition, oats contain butyrate - a natural anti-inflammatory, which also contributes to reducing bloating and aiding digestion, according to a study published in the Journal of Antioxidants.
