Obtaining Antioxidants the Healthy Fashion

The human body owns a complete antioxidant defense mechanism, generating antioxidant enzymes to eradicate excess reactive oxygen species (ROS). Also known as endogenous antioxidants, these human-produced enzymes are accountable for turning ROS into harmless substances like oxygen and water. However, the body can’t fully eliminate ROS by depending solely on endogenous antioxidants. For this reason, consuming a diet rich in antioxidants is essential.

There is no conclusive data indicating that antioxidants (low quality) in pill form can help prevent cancer or other diseases. Over the years, scientists have closely compared the application of antioxidants obtained through health supplements and those acquired through daily diet only to find that antioxidant pills could escalate the risk of cancer. Research also reported that beta-carotene supplements intensified the occurrence of lung cancer among smokers in Europe.

As researchers continue gathering evidence of natural health foods role in cancer prevention, consuming them regularly will continue improving other measures of health. Therefore, scientists recommend obtaining antioxidants from natural sources like wholesome plant foods for best results.
