Antioxidants are abundant in wheatgrass

MANILA, Philippines - Almost all products in the market nowadays such as coffee, canned juices, and even skin care products contain antioxidants.

Antioxidants have become popular because of their ability to slow down or delay the inevitable signs of aging, which many people want to avoid.

As people age, the body’s ability to produce antioxidants also decreases. Few antioxidants in the body result in cell damage and accumulation of wastes from incomplete cell repair which leads to the speeding up of the aging process.  Scientists suggest that increasing the antioxidant level in the body is the best remedy to this problem.

Aside from delaying the signs of aging, antioxidants also fight the free radicals found in the body. Free radicals are produced during the oxidation process that causes cell breakdown. The newly created free radicals from the cell breakdown, meanwhile, attack the healthy cells and weaken the body’s immune system.

A weak immune system makes the body susceptible to different diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart problems. Antioxidants boost the immune system by suppressing the formation of these free radicals.

Experts suggest a daily consumption of fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants. Whole grain products, nuts, legumes, and herbs are also good sources of natural antioxidants.

Raw foods and the outer layer of plant food sources are said to contain a high concentration of antioxidants as compared to antioxidant supplements. They also encourage people to go for foods that contain multiple antioxidants than just one kind of antioxidant.

Wheatgrass is just one of the many food sources that has a high amount of antioxidant nutrients that include vitamins A, C, and E, bioflavanoids, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidise. 

Wheatgrass also contains fiber and other essential nutrients like amino acids, more than 100 types of enzymes, carbohydrates, and protein that the body needs.
