To wrap your head around antioxidants and how they work is to think of them as great peacemakers. All that free radicals want is an electron, and an antioxidant can hand one out in a way that doesn't destabilise itself. Once the free radical gets what it wants, it stops its hunt and leaves your cells alone. Easy, right? Well, sort of. Not all antioxidants are created equally. Some are more potent than others, and they work a bit like antibiotics in that they all fight off different types of free radicals.
This is why you mustn't just rely on one but instead get a good mix of several. Also, free radical-busting benefits aside, antioxidants are brilliant natural anti-inflammatories. Inflammation that’s left unchecked is a major cause of premature ageing (known as “inflammaging”) as well as a contributing factor to illness, so again, dosing up on antioxidants is a must.
Here’s how to get enough of what you need, and there are two ways to go about it. You can power up internally by eating a diet full of antioxidant-rich foods as well as apply them topically to your skin.
