Antioxidants are substances found naturally in some foods which can prevent or even slow the oxidative damage that our bodies are put through every single day. When our body cells use oxygen they naturally produce free radicals as a by-product. These free radicals damage our body over time, resulting in part of the aging process. Antioxidants act as free radical bouncers and prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals. Health problems such as heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer etc are all contributed by oxidative damage. Here is a list of the top 15 antioxidant-rich foods, each healthy ad you’ll look healthy.
