What are Antioxidants and What Do They Do

August 5, 2015 By Nutrisimo Leave a Comment

You may have heard of antioxidants, but what are antioxidants, and what do they do?

If you know of pomegranate, green tea, or acai, then you’re probably more familiar with antioxidants than you realize. All of these are rich in antioxidants, which is one of the reasons why they’re considered super foods. But before we get into where antioxidants can be found let’s talk a bit about what they are and why we need them.

What are Antioxidants and What Do They Do

What’s the Problem?

In our bodies, a process known as oxidization occurs. Oxidization is the splitting of the molecules. The molecules that split are called free radicals; the free radicals are lacking electrons, so they seek out other molecules’ electrons to become complete. The problem is that when the free radicals take the electrons from the other molecules, they leave a void, which causes a rundown in the cells that can enhance the affects of aging.

What’s the Solution?

Weak immunity and increased aging? Aren’t you glad there’s a solution. The solution for the oxidization process is antioxidants. The role of antioxidants is to bond with the free radicals before they can deprive the other molecules of their electrons. This prevents the free radicals from harming the other molecules.

Where can Antioxidants be Found?

Antioxidants are found in many foods as well as beverages. You can receive antioxidants from your diet or from supplements. Some foods high in antioxidants include:

  • Berries
  • Beans
  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Nuts
  • Herbs
  • Dark Chocolate

Antioxidants can be found in certain beverages as well. Some examples are:

  • Green tea
  • Coffee
  • Red Wine
  • Fruit Juices

As you can see, if you’re nourishing your body with living foods, then you should have nothing to worry about. A healthy diet will keep you youthful, healthy, and strong. However, if you’re not filling up on fruits and veggies, chances are, you are lacking in these essential antioxidants. If you’re noticing signs of aging, lack of energy, or increased sickness, you may need to increase your intake of antioxidants. We recommend the Power Reds or Power Purples Antioxidant Drink. It’s a blend of super fruits that are filled with antioxidants. These delicious blends are a great way to get the antioxidants your body needs. I hope this answered your question of what are antioxidants and what do they do. Be sure to comment below with any other questions you have.
