Antioxidant, Omega-3: two terms that it is impossible to ignore today as they appear everywhere around us. The abundant literature on the subject is full of sometimes false and often fanciful and unproven information. You are often advised to increase your daily intake of antioxidants and omega-3s; but is it really necessary?
The human body is a formidable machine. He is able to process everything he assimilates to eliminate what is harmful and keep the good to make our body work and evolve.
The oxidation process is a natural process that our body manages naturally by producing antioxidants capable of neutralizing or reducing the activity of free radicals.
In the same way our body is normally able to manage the levels of lipids and fatty acids necessary and essential for its proper functioning.
However, this machine is sometimes undermined due to external elements sometimes beyond our control, but often because we subject it to attacks that undermine its operation.
It is therefore appropriate to use the resources that nature offers us to restore this balance. Thus our food is a privileged and inexhaustible source of antioxidants and omega-3.
Scientific studies having demonstrated the interest of antioxidants and omega-3 on our health and on various pathologies (inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancers), a significant trade has developed around food supplements.
