Free radicals not only trigger aging by disrupting the cell repair mechanism but also increase the risks of cancer, cataract, diabetes, heart problems, and Alzheimer’s along with glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Free radicals are unstable; they steal electrons from stable molecules giving rise to a chain of unstable molecules to satiate their deficiency. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, thus controlling the damage caused by them.
<strong>Antioxidants are an irreplaceable ingredient for a healthy living. Whether we take it as part of our regular diet or in the form of supplements, antioxidants must always be included in our daily diet. The Med Guru shares with you the 8 most abundant sources of this protective substance.</strong>
