After a few minutes of reading, antioxidants will have no secrets for you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is an antioxidant?<\/h2>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biofar.fr\/en\/gamme\/antioxydant\/\"><strong>antioxidant<\/strong><\/a> is a molecule that helps <strong>fight oxidative stress<\/strong>. Behind this stress is the production of unstable molecules called oxygenated free radicals <a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\" target=\"_self\">[1]<\/a><\/strong>. In too large a quantity, these molecules play a <strong>harmful<\/strong> role and damage our cells. Indeed, they degrade the elements around them to regain their stability. This can affect DNA, proteins or even cells.<\/p>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">This stress can be caused by certain factors such as <strong>pollution, UV exposure, tobacco, intensive sports...<\/strong> It is also accelerated with <strong>age<\/strong>. As the body's capacities are diminished, free radicals take control and induce <strong>cellular ageing<\/strong> and <strong>tissue degeneration<\/strong>. Effects that are visible on the skin through the appearance of wrinkles, loss of firmness and the appearance of brown spots <a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\" target=\"_self\">[2]<\/a>. This is when antioxidants come in to <strong>neutralize<\/strong> these molecules.<\/p>\n<h2>How can antioxidants fight oxidative stress?<\/h2>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Free radicals damage our proteins, lipids, cells or even DNA by oxidizing them; meaning they add an oxygen molecule to them. Their objective is simply to stabilize! The functioning of these elements is then modified, and this disrupts the body. <strong>Skin ageing<\/strong> is an example of the consequences of oxidation. The role of antioxidants is therefore:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To oppose this oxidation mechanism,<\/li>\n<li>To slow down the reactions favored by oxygen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">They are essential <strong>to protect us<\/strong> from oxidative stress and prevent, among other things, skin aging.<\/p>\n<h2>Eating fruits and vegetables the secret to a full antioxidant diet<\/h2>\n<p>Without knowing it, with a healthy and varied diet, everyone consumes antioxidants. Many foods contain it naturally. But here are some additional tips for filling up on antioxidants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\" translation-block\">Vitamin C is best known as having antioxidant activity. It is found mainly in <strong>citrus fruits<\/strong>. Why not drink a <strong>pressed orange<\/strong> in the morning for its antioxidants at breakfast? This good habit to have in the middle of winter will allow you to fill up on energy and vitamin C.<\/li>\n<li class=\" translation-block\">Vitamin E also has a protective action against oxidative stress. You will find it in avocado, oils and <strong>nut mixtures<\/strong>. It is also recommended in the National Health Nutrition Program <a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\" target=\"_self\">[3]<\/a> (PNNS) a handful of nuts per day: nuts, hazelnuts, pistachio nuts, almonds... so don't hesitate any longer and enjoy yourself!<\/li>\n<li class=\" translation-block\">Seasonal <strong>green vegetables<\/strong> (broccoli, green beans, spinach, cabbage) are also sources of minerals such as copper, manganese,  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biofar.fr\/nos-produits\/ace-selenium-zinc\/\" target=\"_self\">selenium and zinc<sup><u>[4]<\/u><\/sup><\/a>. These minerals are equally important to protect our cells from oxidative stress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">The ideal is to opt for a diet rich in fruit and vegetables as recommended by the PNNS, by consuming 5 fruits and vegetables per day... or even more! A simple objective to achieve by consuming smart:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 fruit pressed for breakfast<\/li>\n<li>1 serving of vegetables for lunch<\/li>\n<li>1 fruit as a snack in the afternoon<\/li>\n<li>1 serving of vegetables at dinner<\/li>\n<li>1 fruit for dessert<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\" translation-block\">It is also possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biofar.fr\/nos-produits\/anti-ox-sod-direct\/\" target=\"_self\">supplement<\/a> to complete the contributions.<\/p>\n<p>You now have all the keys to take full advantage of antioxidants and their benefits! Adapting your diet is child's play when you know the tricks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> Dictionnaire de l\u2019acad\u00e9mie de M\u00e9decine,2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> Association Fran\u00e7aise de M\u00e9decine Esth\u00e9tique et anti-\u00e2ge, Stress oxydatif &amp; radicaux libres, 2016<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref3\" name=\"_ftn3\">[3]<\/a> PNNS, 2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref4\" name=\"_ftn4\">[4]<\/a> Ciqual, 2019<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref5\" name=\"_ftn5\">[5]<\/a> Ciqual, 2019<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often hear the term \"antioxidant\", without knowing what is behind it: where do they come from?
