What are antioxidants?
 Antioxidants are chemical compounds that
protect the cells against the effects of free
radicals.
 Body has its own antioxidants to keep free
radicals in check.
Free radicals and Oxidative stress
 Free radicals are formed when we exercise
 When our body converts food into energy
 High number of free radicals causes oxidative
stress – triggers cell damage
 Prolonged oxidative stress leads to DNA
damage
Antioxidants in foods
 Green tea
 Coffee
 Berries
 Dark chocolate
 Fish
Important dietary antioxidants
 VITAMIN A – important for fetal development
 VITAMIN C – boost immune system and
maintain collagen in skin
 VITAMIN E – protect cells against oxidative
damage and reduces the risk of many chronic
diseases
 FLAVONOIDS – antioxidants rich in plants
 SELENIUM – mineral antioxidant and helps
body to manufacture its own antioxidant
glutathione
Importance of antioxidants
 Antioxidants are essential for all living things
 Adequate antioxidant intake is very important
 In fact life depends on the intake of certain
antioxidants like vitamin C and E
 The best way is to get our daily dose of
antioxidants from healthy plant foods such as
fruits and vegetables.
