Antioxidants — faithful assistants in the fight against angina | Women’s magazine “Liza”

Immu­ni­ty is the most reli­able defend­er of our health. Peo­ple who have it strong prac­ti­cal­ly do not suc­cumb to dis­ease, and if they do get sick, they recov­er quick­ly and with­out seri­ous com­pli­ca­tions. Antiox­i­dants are excel­lent immune sys­tem boost­ers. Eat­ing foods rich in these ben­e­fi­cial sub­stances is a great way to resist colds and sore throats.

What are antioxidants?

Our body is con­stant­ly on the “front line”. On the one hand, it is attacked by free rad­i­cals — aggres­sive mol­e­cules that trig­ger an irre­versible process of destruc­tion of cell tis­sue. On the oth­er hand, free rad­i­cals are opposed by an army of “defend­ers”: antiox­i­dant mol­e­cules. They neu­tral­ize the action of free rad­i­cals, pre­vent­ing them from being oxi­dized, there­by pro­tect­ing the cells of the body. The con­clu­sion is sim­ple: the more antiox­i­dants, the high­er the degree of pro­tec­tion.
