By now, you would likely have heard about antioxidants and the beneficial effects they have on our health. But what exactly are antioxidants and how do they help maintain and improve your health and well-being?

10 Ways Antioxidants Can Help Improve The Everyday Life And Health Of Women
1. Antioxidants act as anti-ageing agents

It’s impossible to stop ageing but we can try to delay its negative effects on our body and mind. A frequent intake of health supplements or nutrition drinks containing antioxidants can help your body guard against the ravages of ageing by neutralizing free radical attacks.
2. Antioxidants help give you great skin

Skin health is always a major concern for women; it’s the reason many of us spend money on skincare products and facials to improve the way our skin looks. Other than these beauty aids, a regular intake of antioxidants can help your skin increase skin hydration levels and elasticity. Antioxidants are also essential for collagen synthesis, the process which plumps up skin and reduce fine line and wrinkles.
3. Antioxidants protect your eyes

By helping to delay the progression of advanced age-related macular degeneration and vision loss, antioxidants improve your eye health and visual acuity. Antioxidants can also help reduce the risk of cataracts, an ailment commonly affecting both women and men in their elderly years.
4. Antioxidants help you maintain healthy and beautiful teeth

Dental health can be costly to maintain when you have issues with your teeth and gums. Other than day-to-day oral hygiene, antioxidants can also help fight problems like tooth decay, gingivitis and bleeding gums, while promoting general oral health.
5. Antioxidants support your immune system

If you find yourself falling sick often, it could be due to a weak immune system. Antioxidants can help your immune system prevent and fight off infections caused by harmful bacteria and viruses. If you are suffering from minor ailments like flu or the common cold, antioxidants can help relieve the symptoms and also speed up your recovery.
6. Antioxidants boost your energy and metabolism levels

Working a full-time job and having to take care of family and children can easily drain a woman of energy. And being low on energy can affect your concentration and performance. Antioxidants can help you by enhancing your energy and endurance levels, so you sail through the day successfully.
7. Antioxidants help improve cardiovascular health

Did you know that antioxidants play an important part in cardiovascular health too? They support normal blood flow, keep your heart rhythm steady, aid in maintaining normal blood pressure, improve microcirculation and promote arterial wall function and thickness of your heart. All these help in lowering the risk of coronary heart disease, one of the top killers in Singapore.
8. Antioxidants also act as a source of nutrition

Antioxidants are essential for promoting calcium absorption in the gut (very important for the prevention of osteoporosis in women) and also for the absorption of iron from vegetable sources (especially useful for vegetarians). They also help improve the absorption of nutrients from foods and promote a healthy digestive system.
9. Antioxidants boost your bone and joint health

A regular dose of antioxidants from health supplements can help reduce the loss of bone density, prevent muscle cramps, encourage peak bone mass to combat onset of osteoporosis, and helps in the formation of healthy cartilage, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissues in the body.
10. Antioxidants help improve your brain functions

Taking antioxidants supplements can help your brain boost its memory power, improve cognitive skills and slow down brain ageing. As we age, it is especially important to keep the brain functioning optimally as cognitive decline sets in during later years.
