Oxygen in the body splits into single atoms with unpaired electrons. Electrons like to be in pairs, so these atoms, called free radicals, continuously search the body to seek out other electrons to pair. This process causes damage to cells, proteins and DNA. The body is normally under a dynamic balance between free radical generation and the fight with them. Free radicals are associated with various diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease & many more. Here is the magic of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the structural integrity of cells and tissues. They fight against free radicals and if somehow the balance between free radical generation & antioxidant is diminished, immune cells have an adverse effect & they can’t perform – as a result immunity gets disturbed and we get sudden attacks of cold & flu.
