The risk of free radical damage is unfortunately increased in today’s society, where a number of factors conspire to increase free radical production, including cigarette smoke and pollutants, poor dieting, UV rays, and a lack of exercise. These free radicals can cause extensive cell damage leading to a host of diseases, ranging from heart disease and fibromyalgia to sinusitis, from arthritis and vision problems to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. ...continued below [click here]

Luckily, the body has a defense against these free radicals in the form of antioxidants. Found in a number of fruits and vegetables, and even produced in the body, they defuse free radicals. Some of the more familiar of these include vitamins E and C; the carotenoids (such as beta-carotene); selenium; flavonoids (anthocyanidins, polyphenols, quercetin); and supplements like green tea extract and ginkgo biloba. Among the lesser known among them are those produced by the body: glutathione, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10.

While nothing can truly replace the benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle, ongoing research has shown that supplementing your diet with antioxidants really can help prevent a number of diseases and increase overall vitality and resilience. Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, for example, have shown that increasing the antioxidants in the diet, whether through food or supplementation, significantly reduced the risk of various types of cancer. An even more general benefit is their purported ability to slow down the aging process. Antioxidants can mop up the free radicals that result in wrinkling of the skin, loss of muscle elasticity, reduced immunity, and impaired memory.

If you are in the market for an antioxidant supplement, be sure to opt for those supplements that include a variety of antioxidants, since antioxidants tend to work synergistically. Some antioxidant supplement might also contain zinc and copper, ingredients that help strengthen the body’s own antioxidant protection system.
