Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant antioxidants are abundantly present in various plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. These antioxidants include vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin E, minerals such as selenium, phytochemicals such as carotenoids, and polyphenols.
Plant antioxidants play a crucial role in the natural defense mechanism by neutralizing free radicals, reducing oxidative stress, supporting immune function and skin/eye health, improving cognitive function, and delaying aging, thus preventing the onset of chronic conditions.
This Special Issue highlights the importance of a diet rich in plant-based antioxidants to bolster immune function, thereby lowering the risk of chronic disease development and improving long-term health outcomes.
