ANTIOXIDANT FOODS 

• The process of oxidation inside the human body is
  a harmful one, as it damages the cell membranes,
  cellular proteins, lipids, and DNA. When
  metabolism functions - unstable molecules called
  free radicals cause damage to the human body. 
• Our body has the potential to cope with a limited
  number of free radicals. But, when the level of
  oxidation jumps, it will lead to severe diseases
  such as, heart problems, liver problems, and
  cancers. Hence, it is important to cut down the
  level of oxidative stress, cigarette smoking,
  alcohol consumption, sunlight, pollution, and
  much more. 
• Plant foods are rich sources of antioxidants.
  Vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, and meats
  come under that category of antioxidant foods. We
  consume antioxidants daily, and it is important
  to keep it going until the very end. Hence, the
  consumption of antioxidant-rich foods is vital to
  keep yourself healthy. 
• Apart from consuming antioxidants through foods,
  various supplements via tablets are there to aid
  us as well. However, antioxidants through foods
  are believed to be more healthy than consuming
  the same through tablets.

• Some antioxidant foods include garlic, onion,
  milk, nuts, red wine, pumpkin, carrot, spinach,
  tea, and seafood. These are the best antioxidant
  foods, and it is highly recommended to consume
  these, which automatically helps us stay away
  from these diseases. 
• Apart from foods, several beverages are also rich
  in antioxidants. Apple juice, cider, tomato
  juice, pomegranate juice, and green tea are some
  of the beverages that bolster the antioxidant
  element inside your body. 
• In addition to this, foods in darker colours,
  like orange, yellow, blue, and red are always
  higher in antioxidants than other foods. It is
  important to understand that consumption of food
  plays the main role in the formation of
  antioxidants and dissolution of oxidants as well.
