Antioxidants

Everything has its own reason.
For example, aging of an organism is a consequence of damage to cells by free radicals.

Free radicals are molecules that, having lost one or more electrons, attempt to fill the gap by attacking neighboring molecules. The so-called oxidation reaction.

Free radicals can damage DNA, which can lead to a number of diseases:

• cataract
• Alzheimer's disease
• Parkinson's disease
• atherosclerosis
• cancer

Factors that provoke their damage:

• preservatives, flavor enhancers, dyes
• Bad Habits
• environmental pollution
• solar and industrial radiation
• metabolism

Antioxidants are helper molecules in the fight against free radicals.

They take on the function of stopping the oxidation reaction by adding the missing electrons.

Antioxidants enter the body or are already synthesized in food.
