The human body also produces antioxidants to keep a check on free radicals.<\/p>\n Other sources for antioxidants can be plants. Fruits, vegetables, and Vitamins E, Vitamin C are effective antioxidants.<\/p>\n It is very important to maintain a balance between free radicals and antioxidants.

Our immune cells use free radicals to fight infection.<\/p>\n Oxidative stress for a longer duration can damage your DNA and other body cells which can lead to serious illness.<\/p>\n Environmental factors and procedures that can prompt free radical formation<\/p>\n Antioxidants help to reduce oxidative damage to cells and biochemicals. However, there is a lack of evidence that a higher intake of antioxidants can reduce the risk of diseases.<\/p>\n The crucial finding suggests that the intake of antioxidant-rich foods reduces damage to cells and gives a superior fight to free radicals.
