As the name suggests, it is clear that these work against oxidation. Basically, antioxidants prevent oxidation that produces harmful free radicals that get accumulated in cells and affect the cells as well as their activities. Free radical production in our body is unavoidable as these are the byproducts of various\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">metabolic activities<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">. These free radicals have unpaired free electrons that make them highly reactive.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--nextpage--><\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37057\" src=\"https:\/\/zovon.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Antioxidant.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zovon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Antioxidant.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/zovon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Antioxidant-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/zovon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Antioxidant-696x467.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/zovon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Antioxidant-626x420.jpeg 626w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><a style=\"color: #999999;\" href=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/57330ac21d07c0d298ec51e3\/1463554184998-TYDFL3G8YJ7G9SPLA92W\/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kAnxwkQFZ6TjQzPiUJAFxt97gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fypf6lmgoLGWA2VfxjamN-k_-U88Vz3_ValeR7UJawSPlv90AApd9Yk_mbh9SCYVMOqpeNLcJ80NK65_fV7S1UdQ-FqAGmq8eQmibVpi2_mNM64EDphO-DOlQ2RJXHtqss03EwngB2mAPX_4PnzdByA\/image-asset.jpeg?format=750w\">Image Source:<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Our body produces an enzyme, called superoxidase dismutase (SOD), which renders electrons to the free radicals and make them harmless.
