What are antioxidants? |
| |
According to the CSIRO website, antioxidants are
naturally occurring chemicals in foods that help to
counter the
detrimental
effects
of
oxygen
free radicals, which form during normal metabolism
and through external factors such as x-rays, ultra-violet
radiation and pollution.
Oxygen free radicals have been
implicated in the development of several diseases
including cancer and heart disease,
highlighting the need to consider antioxidant levels
as part of preventative medicine.

What are the benefits of antioxidants? |
| |
Recent research shows the risk of cancer and heart
disease is considerably lower in people who consume 5-7
serves of antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetables.
This is supported by extensive studies which indicate
that diets high in antioxidant rich foods, such as fruit
and vegetables, offer significant protection against
other age-related degenerative diseases. |
| |
|
| 4. |
Why is it important to consume antioxidants? |
| |
Antioxidants are believed to help prevent and repair
oxidative stress, a process that damages cells within
the body and has been linked to the development of a
variety of diseases. The powerful antioxidants Xanthones
found in mangosteen can help. |

| |
ORAC is the abbreviation of Oxygen Radical Absorbency
Capacity, a definitive test for assessing the antioxidant
strength of potential antioxidant compounds. The higher
the score, the stronger the antioxidant capability of
the compound. It can only be tested at Brunswick Laboratories,
USA. |
