Antioxidants | The Coffee Lexicon
Antioxidants neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, preventing oxidative stress. Found in whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, they help reduce inflammation and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
How They Work
While the body produces some antioxidants, it depends on dietary sources for others. Environmental factors, such as pollution, UV rays, and smoking, as well as normal metabolic processes, generate free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize these unstable molecules by donating an electron, preventing further cellular damage.
