Antioxidants primarily exert anti-aging effects, slowing down the human aging process. They also enhance the body’s immune resistance, reducing the risk of various infections and helping to counteract harmful pollutants present in daily life and in the air. Additionally, antioxidants may lower the risk of atherosclerosis. In daily life, it is advisable to consume more antioxidant-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and nuts.
