a bow Doctor Alexandra Matos vascular surgeon at Instituto Amato E today we are going to talk about food more antioxidants than there are then stay here with me you'll know the list of the 11 most foods Antioxidants First let's talk a little bit of what it means to be one antioxidant food right What is it What is the benefit of being a food antioxidant then the important to know the what are free radicals in our body produces free radicals normally at our normal day to day activity takes the production of free radicals and these free
radicals cause damage in both DNA As well as RNA in our code genetic and that's what will lead to cellular aging and the appearance from various diseases degenerative over time so it is diseases such as cancer atherosclerosis arthritis and many others are the diseases that appear in the course of life with the time and with cell damage caused by this oxidative stress caused by free radicals so when we is talking about antioxidant foods are foods that fight these free radicals There are several substances that fight Then the free radicals are substances antioxidants and are difficult
substances to go in our body but there are techniques to be measured in vitro O what does that mean in the lab so we can get a substance and calculate how much antioxidant this substance is in the laboratory will not be exactly the function in the body like that exactly what will work on body but we have this notion of more antioxidant foods and measures in the laboratory what we don't have is exact relationship between capacity antioxidant in this food and the influence on the health of the body we can't imagine what that does but
the people do not have this exact ratio measured so these foods and substances antioxidants and they will neutralize those free radicals I talked about in start slowing down the oxidative process and damage cell phone and consequently avoiding the progressive worsening of disease degenerative diseases and aging cell phone I talk about it a lot on my anti-inflammatory diet video that you can find up here the foods that are higher on the scale of anti oxidation are the fruits vegetables seasonings and many spices there are several scientific works that show this inverse relationship between the consumption of
fruits and vegetables with degenerative diseases ie those who consume more fruits and vegetables and end up having fewer degenerative diseases because it has a protective effect which is already good known and to various vitamins as well well-known also has an effect antioxidant one among them for example Vitamin C Vitamin E Oil beta carotene For example now let's talk about the 11 most foods antioxidants first we we have the clove the clove is the food that is at the top of the list with in vitro antioxidant effect Ta no second lab we have the oregano dry
oregano we put it on top of Pizza in third place we have thyme that spice that tastes good with meat in fifth place we have cinnamon who doesn't like cinnamon no spice super yummy incest place we have the turmeric that yeah and nothing around like a hell of a one anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect So she's sixth in seventh place we have the bunny in eighth place we have parsley in ninth place we have basil and the tenth o ginger in 11th to sage so these are the 11 foods that have the highest oxidative initiator measured
at lab now you have to understand one thing Despite these foods has the highest index anti-oxidant wanna see somebody eat one cup of cloves aren't they food whatwe have a huge difficulty ingest in high amounts so we can't absorb all these this antioxidant power of these foods because we use as seasoning most of them will then be a small amount of fluid in the remainder of food so what do we have of more practical for people to look for antioxidation will then be in the fruits and vegetables that we can get there ingesting more than
these spices it is obvious that we can use these seasonings and spices to increase the antioxidant power of our plate but we have to understand that maybe he's not what he's going to do the biggest difference in the people go need food that we can eat a lot and who have an adequate level of live antioxidant substances is a lot easier for us to eat 100 grams of carrot than we eat 100 grams of oregano no No matter what time No be nice that's why we have it to filter the information that we have receives
some things are very good at theory but at the time of practice and there is a little bit more difficult for us to use we have to weigh these information So when you want a antioxidant food you don't need go top of the list here you need to go behind the fruits and vegetables And then you you already know what the next video is that he will watch us I'll let him a nomination here liked this video subscribe to our channel share with your friends and see you next time [Music]
