Ans) The process of oxidation in the human body produces
unstable chemicals called free radicals, which damage cell
membranes and other structures.
Free radicals have been linked to a variety of diseases, including
heart disease and certain cancers.
Antioxidants are compounds in foods that scavenge and neutralise
free radicals.
Evidence suggests that antioxidant supplements do not work as well
as the naturally occurring antioxidants in foods such as fruits and
vegetables.
Sources of Antioxidants:
Plant foods are rich sources of antioxidants. They are most abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as other foods including nuts, wholegrains and some meats, poultry and fish.
