WHAT ARE ANTIOXIDANTS
A healthy alimentary regime is being informed as well.
Antioxidants are very important for human food, since they capture free radicals, molecules that destroy our tissues, leading to degenerative diseases. They are indispensable for cancer prevention, cardiovascular diseases, cataracts, etc. Most common are beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, lycopene and lutein. Vegetal products are the best source.
Beta-carotene sources: tomato, carrot, green peppers, apricot, grapefruit and melon.
Vitamine C sources: papaya, guava, orange and other citrus, kiwi, mango, broccoli, peppers, cabbage and strawberries.
Flavonoids sources: onion, parsley, rhubarb, grapefruit, orange, apple, apricot, pear, peach, tomato, cherry, currant, grapes, plum, raspberry, strawberry, legumes, sage, green tea and red wine.
Vitamin E sources: oilseeds, first cold pressed oils, cereal germ; the refining process and frying oils destroy vitamin E.

So it is possible to timely prevent different pathologies, of genetic origin or related to lifestyle and life experiences, hence prolonging longevity.
