You are exposed to countless germs everyday - bacteria and viruses as well as free radicals that are disastrous to your body health. Your only defense against them is your immune system - a complex army of warriors that protects you. Unfortunately, your immunity gets weaker as you age and you would become more vulnerable to the onset of diseases. You actually produce as many immune cells as you always have, they just don’t work as well anymore because they are the victim of free radical damage. Free radical disruption of cell metabolism is one of the factors that cause the aging and a long list of diseases, namely cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancer. So the best way of fighting against diseases is to boost your immune system by loading up on free radical fighters- antioxidants! 

What is antioxidants?

Antioxidants are a diverse group of phytochemicals that can be naturally found in vegetables, fruits and plants in general. Antioxidants are also synthesized in our body. Antioxidants improve health in general by fighting free radicals. If free radicals overcome the antioxidants in your body, it will slow down the immune system. If the level of free radicals in the immune cells surpasses beyond the normal level, they negatively affect the immune system. Then you are more prone to infections of viruses or suffer with diseases. Antioxidants are believed to have immunity-boosting effect because they play important roles in our body systems such as in cellular metabolism, signal transduction, gene activation, and transcription.

Natural food sources of antioxidant

A variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grain cereals, legumes and herbs are rich sources of natural antioxidants. The benefit of eating whole fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods is that they provide a variety of natural antioxidants. A combination of multiple antioxidants has greater health benefit than when an antioxidant is taken individually.
