WHAT IS AN ANTIOXIDANT ?
Antioxidants exist as vitamins, minerals, and other compounds in
foods. They are capable of neutralizing harmful substances called free radicals which damage cells and may contribute to
cardiovascular disease and cancer. Oxidative damage can occur via ultraviolet light, radiation, smoking, dietary lipids,
environmental pollutants, alcohol, injury, aging, strenuous exercise, and chronic disease. No one is immune to oxidative
damage, but antioxidants can help slow down or prevent the oxidation process, and thus help prevent or repair damage done to
your body's cells by oxygen.
Well-known
antioxidants include a number of enzymes and other substances such as vitamin C, vitamin
E and beta carotene (which is converted to vitamin A) that are capable of counteracting the
damaging effects of oxidation. Antioxidants are also commonly added to food products like
vegetable oils and prepared foods to prevent or delay their deterioration from the action of
air.
Many nutraceutical and health food companies now
sell forms of antioxidants as dietary supplement. These supplements may include specific antioxidant chemicals, like
resveratrol (from grape seeds), combinations of antioxidants, like the "ACES" products that contain beta carotene (provitamin
A), vitamin C, vitamin E and Selenium, or specialty herbs that are known to contain antioxidants such as green tea and
jiaogulan.

NATURAL SOURCES OF ANTIOXIDANTS
Natural antioxidants are most
abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as in other foods including grains, nuts, and some
red meats, poultry and fish. The list below describes food sources of common antioxidants.
- Beta-carotene can be found in many foods that are orange in color,
including carrots, sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, apricots, squash, pumpkin, and mangos. Some
green leafy vegetables are also rich in beta-carotene. Some of these include collard greens,
spinach, and kale.
- Lycopene is a potent antioxidant most commonly found in tomatoes,
watermelon, papaya, guava, apricots, pink grapefruit, blood oranges, and other foods. It is
estimated that nearly 85 percent of American dietary intake of lycopene comes from tomatoes
and tomato based products.
- Lutein, well known for its association with healthy eyes, is found in
green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, collard greens, and kale.
- Selenium is a mineral, not technically an antioxidant in its own right.
However, it is an important component of most antioxidant enzymes. Plant foods like rice and
wheat are the the most common dietary sources of selenium in most countries. The concentration
of selenium in soil, which varies by region, determines the amount of selenium in the foods
grown in that soil. Consequently, animals that eat grains or plants grown in selenium-rich soil
have higher levels of selenium in their bodies. In the United States, breads and meat are
typical sources of dietary selenium. Brazil nuts also contain large quantities of
selenium.
- Vitamin A is found in three main forms: retinol (Vitamin A1),
3,4-didehydroretinol (Vitamin A2), and 3-hydroxy-retinol (Vitamin A3). Foods will a lot of
vitamin A include liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, egg yolks, milk and mozzarella cheese.
- Vitamin C is a well known antioxidant that can be found in high
concentrations in many fruits and vegetables. It can also be found in cereals, beef, poultry
and fish products.
- Vitamin E, also known as alpha-tocopherol, is found in many oils including
wheat germ, corn, safflower and soybean oils, and is also found in mangos, nuts (almonds),
broccoli and other foods.
