Inside the human body, special particles called free radicals are constantly formed, which oxidize it, damage blood vessels, stimulate the appearance of wrinkles, the development of heart disease and even cancer.
But, according to Dr. Alexander Myasnikov, there is an effective weapon against free radicals - antioxidants.
Myasnikov points out that the main cause of many diseases - heart disease, cancer, autoimmune diseases - is oxidative stress, which is caused by the high level of free radicals in the body. This increase is caused by the diseases themselves and an unhealthy diet rich in fats, trans fats, and the like.
According to him, oxidative stress can be eliminated with the help of antioxidants, which are usually vitamins A, C, E, and flavonoids, which are found in many foods. He stressed that vitamins should be taken in their natural form, and not in the form of tablets.
For this reason, he points out that you should eat vegetables, fruits, fruits, nuts, fish, seafood, poultry meat, whole grain products, and milk, all of which are among the most powerful natural antioxidants. Tea and coffee are also powerful antioxidants.
