Glossary Antioxidant

substance that neutralizes harmful free radicals in the body

An antioxidant is a substance that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm cellular components like DNA, proteins, and lipids. This protection is crucial in reducing oxidative stress, which is linked to various health issues, including aging, cancer, and chronic diseases. Common antioxidants include vitamins C and E, selenium, and various phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables.
