<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We often hear about antioxidant-rich foods for skin health and heart health, but have you ever thought about what it actually means? You have been told that these are good for your health and protect your heart from various issues. Let\u2019s understand some basics about antioxidants first.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What Are Antioxidants?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAntioxidants are compounds that are produced by our bodies or obtained from certain foods. They help delay or reduce cell damage in your body caused by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that can damage your DNA and other cells in the body and may contribute to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can increase your risk of getting chronic diseases like arthritis, Alzheimer\u2019s disease, cancer, and heart disease ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. Please note that you should always speak to a doctor before starting new medicines or supplements and making any major dietary changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Antioxidants are present in our blood plasma or cell membranes. Certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins E and C, copper, zinc, iodine, and manganese, and certain proteins, such as glutathione and alpha-lipoic acid, can also function as antioxidants. Phytochemicals like quercetin, carotenoids, zeaxanthin, ellagic acid, and flavonoids may also function as antioxidants ^{1<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}

It might be an excellent choice because it has unmatched levels of vitamin E ^{13<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n}Dr. Siddharth Gupta, B.A.M.S, M.D (Ayu)<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dark chocolate is very nutritious as it is packed with cocoa, minerals, and antioxidants. It is one of the foods with the highest amount of antioxidants.
