Antioxidants prevent excess oxidation and thus help limit the creation of free radicals that are responsible for accelerating cellular aging. In addition, they prevent the oxidation of fats that can be harmful to blood vessels. Antioxidants also help prevent certain health problems associated with aging.
Oxidant overproduction is often aggravated by a number of external factors: tobacco, pollution, UV rays, poor lifestyle, trauma, inflammation, stress, immune deficiency, infection and even certain medications.
Antioxidants are essential allies for our bodies, fighting against free radicals.
