Antioxidants provide a layer of protection for the cells and tissues of the body. Specifically, antioxidants protect against free radical damage. People must breathe in oxygen to live. Oxygen is necessary for all essential bodily functions. However, a small amount of oxygen gets loose and produces unstable by-products called free radicals. Body processes, such as metabolism, as well as environmental factors, including pollution and cigarette smoke, can produce free radicals. An overload of free radicals in the body causes damage to the cells.
Strenuous exercise increases the bodys production of free radicals, which, in turn, can cause muscle damage, which manifests as swollen or painful muscles. While exercise increases the body’s natural defense against free radicals, athletes who are doing intense training may benefit from the addition of antioxidant supplements to their diets. Antioxidants work in a variety of ways to reduce the effects of free radicals. They can greatly Decrease The Damage Caused By Free Radicals!, stop them from forming to begin with, or "oxidize" them by combining with them and neutralizing their harmful effects through stabilization.
