Why We Need Antioxidants

Why are antioxidants so important to obtain throughout our diets? Because of one thing = free radicals! Antioxidants have the power to neutralise free radicals.

The more diverse your diet is, the broader the spectrum of antioxidants you’ll consume. Our Organic Superfood and Everyday Greens blends are a great and simple ways to increase your daily antioxidants. Read more about the importance of antioxidants below!

What are antioxidants?

Antioxidants are beneficial compounds that scour the body and neutralise free radicals: unstable oxygen molecules that cause damage to cells as they move through the body. Antioxidants neutralise these harmful cells so that they cannot continue to cause damage by oxidisation.

Diets high in sugar, alcohol or unhealthy fats could lead to an imbalance of free radicals, as can exposure to pollution, radiation, cigarettes and certain pesticides. This means a diet rich in antioxidants is important to stop an excess of free radicals before they cause a condition called oxidative stress.

As a 'first line of defence', research has shown antioxidants can be a powerful tool in the prevention of chronic conditions across cardiovascular, immune, vision and brain health.
