6 Surprising Sources of Antioxidants
Current health and fitness wisdom dictates that if you want to lower your chances of acquiring a debilitating disease such as heart disease or cancer, to name a few, you’d better be getting your daily dose of antioxidants. Antioxidants are like kamikaze compounds that seek out and destroy free radicals (an oxygen atom that is missing an electron) in your body, helping to protect cells from the damage they’d incur otherwise.
When individuals think of rich sources of antioxidants, colorful vegetables and fruits such as blueberries and pomegranate immediately come to mind. That makes sense, considering that antioxidants were first discovered by scientists in these types of foods. Nutritional science has come a long way since then, however, and we now know that antioxidants can be found in a wide variety of foods.
