once again, here in the northern latitudes. After the dreariness of winter, it is refreshing to experience the vibrant colors, textures, floral aromas, and beautiful scenery that comes with spring. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadly for some though, the beauty of spring is overshadowed by allergy and pollen season. If you are one of those people whose allergies are triggered every spring and lead to colds and other illnesses, then arming yourself with antioxidant rich smoothies might go a long way in making this season that much more bearable. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on to find out why antioxidants are good for you, the amount of antioxidants we need for better immunity, simple antioxidants smoothie recipes, and much more<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Antioxidants_And_Why_Do_We_Need_Them\"><\/span><b>What Are Antioxidants And Why Do We Need Them?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before learning about <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/mango-matcha-smoothie\/\">antioxidants<\/a>, we need to take a side step to better understand what free radicals are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free radicals are highly unstable molecules that are naturally formed when you exercise and when your body converts food into energy. Aside from this internal process, you can also be exposed to free radicals through outside, lifestyle and environmental factors like air pollution, sunlight (ultraviolet rays), cigarette smoke, alcohol intake, and much more (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/antioxidants-in-depth\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While free radicals aren\u2019t inherently bad &#8211; the body uses them in regulating cell growth and killing pathogens, aka disease-causing organisms such as bacteria and viruses &#8211; when their amount is too high, they can result in oxidative stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oxidative stress has been linked to chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer as well as other conditions like loss of vision, arthritis, neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson\u2019s or Alzheimer\u2019s disease, accelerated aging, and much more (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4350122\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fcell.2020.575645\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5286467\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Antioxidants are what the body uses as its main defense to keep the multiplication of free radicals in check. These molecules counteract and neutralize these free radicals which slows down or prevents the cell and DNA damage caused by free radicals &#8211; supporting immunity and health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to note that while our bodies make some powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/meal-replacement-smoothies\/\">antioxidants<\/a>, our diet plays a huge role in providing what the body doesn\u2019t make. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables as well as other plant-based whole foods is essential for this. If one does not have access to a lot of fruits and veggies, antioxidant supplements can come in handy as a stop gap (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/antioxidants-in-depth\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/keto-avocado-smoothie\/\"><i>6 Keto Avocado Smoothie Recipes to Curb Your Sweet Tooth<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Quick_Antioxidant_Smoothie\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47227 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207672-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207672.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207672-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207672.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207672-1637x920.png 1637w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Frame-207672.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Amount_Of_Antioxidants_Do_We_Need\"><\/span><b>What Amount Of Antioxidants Do We Need?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing how big of a role antioxidants play <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/pear-smoothie-with-cashew\/\">in the body<\/a>, it is clear that we must do our best to consume as much of them as we can throughout the day.
