Proper consumption of antioxidants
Oxidation is a common phenomenon in the body of the living organisms. This oxidation reaction produces free radicals in the human body. These free radicals are primary molecules which causes the chain reactions of the complex organic molecules in the body. If this reactions keep going on in the cell the cells might get damaged and finally die. To prevent this situation the antioxidants (In French les antioxydants) are present. These antioxidants inactivate the free radicals and stops the reaction. The known antioxidants are glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin D and some enzymes.
Some of the antioxidants are present inside the body where as some has to be taken as a dietary supplement. The common source of antioxidants are citrus fruits, vegetables, eggs, nuts, cereals, legumes, Pepin grapefruit extract(In French extrait pepin pamplemousse ), soy, coffee, tea, red wine, meat, and chocolates. By the intake of the antioxidants many diseases can be prevented. The Pepin grapefruit extract is contains 56% of vitamin C and is very beneficial for the heart stroke patients. Grapefruit oil is used for aroma therapy. The grapefruit seed extract has very low glycemic index and the cholesterols content is only 0.10 per gram. The sugar content is less then 4 grams in every seed so the heart diseases patients can consume it, rather than going for the fruits which contains more sugar. It also contains another antioxidant which is called lycopene which lowers the risk of breast cancer. Some scientist agree that grapefruit seeds contain an enzyme which lowers the mechanism of aging in certain animals, although it doesn't work the same way in the human body.
Neurological diseases, cancer, heart diseases can be prevented if vitamin C is included in the daily diet. But larger consumption of the antioxidants can cause oxidative stress which can cause the death of the cells and tissues. The antioxidants not only prevents the free radical reactions and diseases but also it is very useful in the industries. As polymers and complex molecules are susceptible to the oxidation on exposure to the sunlight, antioxidants are added to prevent it. They are added as preservative in the food stuff to avoid deterioration and helps in prolong storage. Grapefruit seed extract is largely used as a preservative in the food stuff. The antioxidants are also added in the fuels and lubricants to prevent them from the reaction of atmospheric oxygen.
