antioksüdantiderikka

Antioksüdantiderikka is an Estonian term that translates to "rich in antioxidants". This phrase is commonly used in the context of food and nutrition to describe products or ingredients that contain a high concentration of antioxidant compounds. Antioxidants are substances that can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that the body produces as a reaction to environmental and other pressures. These damaging molecules contribute to aging and can also play a role in the development of diseases such as cancer and heart disease.

Foods and beverages rich in antioxidants include fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and certain teas. Examples of specific antioxidant compounds found in these foods are vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, selenium, and flavonoids. Consuming a diet high in antioksüdantiderikka foods is generally considered beneficial for overall health and may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The term emphasizes the health-promoting qualities of certain dietary components by highlighting their antioxidant content. It is often seen on food packaging or in descriptions of healthy eating plans in Estonian-speaking regions.
