Why do we Need Antioxidants?

Antioxidants are nutrients found in fruit and vegetables that work to prevent some of the damage caused by cellular bad guys, free radicals, or waste products produced by cells. If our bodies cannot process or remove them, free radical accumulation messes with our cellular metabolism. 

Due to their ability to oxidize cells - oxidative stress - they are detrimental to the proper structure and function of cells throughout the body.

​These bad guys are frequently associated with health problems we experience as we age - think wrinkles, diabetes and heart disease, arthritis - as well as the development of cancer.

​Free radicals multiply as the body is exposed to pollutants, chemicals, medications, environmental toxins, electronic devices, pesticides, processed foods, and synthetic supplements.

​Antioxidants can protect against cell damage free radicals cause.

According to one study: "Antioxidants act as radical scavenger, hydrogen donor, electron donor, peroxide decomposer, singlet oxygen quencher, enzyme inhibitor, synergist, and metal-chelating agents."

​Antioxidants are found in colorful fruits and veggies of blue, red, purple, orange, yellow hues (eat lightly steamed or raw for biggest benefits as cooking can decrease or increase antioxidant levels.)

​It is important to have a varied diet as each antioxidant serves a purpose and is not interchangeable with another.

Some antioxidants:

• vitamin A - greens leafy vegetables, asparagus, broccoli, eggs, dairy
• vitamin C - most fruits and veggies especially berries, oranges, bell peppers
• vitamin E - green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds
• beta-carotene - mangoes, carrots, spinach, bright colored veggies and fruit
• lycopene - red and pink vegetables and fruit, tomatoes, watermelon
• lutein - green leafy vegetables, corn, oranges, papaya (eye health)
• selenium -brazil nuts, legumes, grain products, eggs, poultry, beef, tuna
• manganese - leafy vegetables, whole grains, nuts, teas 
• zeaxanthin - green leafy vegetables, other green & yellow veggies - cooked spinach and kale  (eye health)
• zinc - beans, nuts, whole grains, red meat, poultry, seafood, oysters, dairy

Free radical content is high in meals deficient of antioxidants as well as in nutrient-poor meals.

How can you increase your intake of Antioxidants?

1. Eat a variety of plant-based foods high in antioxidants: fruits, vegetables, nuts
2. Flavonoids have antioxidant functions - a few to consider are citrus fruits, berries, legumes, red wine
3. Add superfoods (high levels of more than one vitamin) blueberries, spinach, kale, dark chocolate to name a few
4. Spice up your food! A few to consider, cumin, oregano, ginger, rosemary, turmeric, cinnamon 
5. Avoid foods high in refined sugars and carbohydrates
6. Limit red  meat as it's high iron content makes it more vulnerable to oxidation
7. Limit processed meats that contain preservatives such as bacon and sausage
8. Don't reuse cooking oils and fats 
9. Limit alcohol
10. Add green tea to your daily ritual for a does of polyphenols to combat oxidation
