Antioxidant defense

Antioxidant defense is your body's way of protecting cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, which are produced during normal processes like breathing or can come from pollution and unhealthy foods. Free radicals can damage cells, potentially leading to aging and diseases. Antioxidants are substances, including vitamins C and E, and enzymes, that neutralize free radicals, preventing or reducing this damage. This natural defense system helps maintain overall health, supports immune function, and keeps cells functioning properly. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and nuts supports your body's antioxidant defenses.
