The benefit of consuming foods with antioxidants
Many studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is positively associated with beneficial effects on health. In part this is due to its high content of antioxidants, substances capable of counteracting the oxidative stress generated by excess free radicals in the body. This process is linked to high levels of stress and inadequate diet, which triggers physical and mental health problems.
So what do we recommend?
- Consume products that contain more foods of plant origin, since they are richer in antioxidants.
- Feed whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds; If possible, consume them regularly.
- Encourage yourself to consume a good variety of fruits and vegetables, as this provides greater protection to your DNA.
- Studies suggest eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day to obtain greater health benefits.
- When including meat or dairy products on the menu, it is best to make sure they come from grass-fed animals; since they contain higher levels of antioxidants.
