BUT WHAT DO WE NEED?
Antioxidants are essential to combat free radicals, active participants in several of the major diseases. These are residual products of the cells, which are formed when we eat, breathe, move, etc. Some are eliminated systematically as carbon dioxide, through breathing, but others require the help of antioxidants. We can find them in:
• Minerals: selenium and zinc, the former is present in fish, seafood and nuts, and the latter in meats, fish and pumpkin seeds.
• Vitamins, especially vitamin A, which is abundant in eggs and cheese; Vitamin C which is present in fruit and vegetables; and E which is to be found in dried fruits or nuts and vegetable oils.
• Carotenoids, which are personified in orange and red foods like carrots, tomatoes, sweet potatoes or in some green vegetables like spinach or broccoli.
