The Importance of Antioxidants

Antioxidants are naturally occurring hero compounds that help to neutralise the harmful free radicals that can build up in our bodies. These free radicals attack things like our essential fats, proteins and DNA and therefore can cause harmful diseases and unfortunately, speed up the aging process!

Therefore, an essential component of detoxing with NutriPlan is consuming lots and lots of antioxidants!

How can I avoid free radicals?

Studies strongly suggest that fast food, low activity levels, stress, frozen meals and fizzy drinks can increase our exposure to free radicals. However, there are circumstances where free radical production is undeniable and often avoidable. 

For example:

· Smoking and second-hand smoke

· Alcohol consumption

· Excess exposure to UV light

· Radiation

Where do I find antioxidants?

An awesome source of antioxidants is Matcha Tea. Matcha has up to 15 times as many antioxidants as Matcha Tea. Other sources include blueberries, raspberries, apples, broccoli, and spinach – to name just a few! Sources of antioxidants are diverse, more favourably they can be found in red wine and dark chocolate.
