Antioxidants protect human health, protecting against serious illnesses.
Free radicals (oxidants) trigger reactions that are dangerous for the body, including destroying cells, reducing immunity, and causing the formation of tumors.
They are counteracted by antioxidants that enter the body with food. Oncologist and surgeon Ivan Karasev spoke about products that contain these useful substances.
In his Telegram channel, the doctor noted that herring should be included in the diet. The value of fish is not only that it is a source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Another reason to add herring to your diet is ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10). This is the so-called "youth code" of the skin. Ubiquinone protects cells from the toxic effects of oxidants.
Coenzyme Q10 is also present in peanuts, sesame, and pistachios. Vitamin E (tocopherol) is a guardian of cellular health. Karasev noted that its source is unrefined vegetable oil.
