Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from free radicals produced by the body. They also help to improve immunity and prevent diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Fruits, vegetables, seeds, and grains are the main natural sources. Because of their high fiber content and low cholesterol and saturated fat content, they have additional reasons for consumption. Vanilla, spices, and even cocoa and coffee also contain these beneficial substances, which means that they are not only found in lunch and dinner foods.
