ANTIOXIDANTS are necessary in diet as whole food 🍱 because OXIDANTS cause cellular damage by “stealing” electrons from other molecules like DNA 🧬, proteins, enzymes etc! Antioxidants are abundant in whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains, which counteract oxidants by donating electrons, so that they won’t steal!
