Packed foods
A diet high in packed food (ready to eat) are low in antioxidants. Antioxidants present in fresh fruits, vegetables and pulses help to scavenge free radicals, hence, they reduce oxidative stress and cell damage. Scientists are still trying to determine how much antioxidant is required to prevent cancer. As a general guideline, one must have 3-4 servings of fruits and 5-6 serving of vegetables per day, says Dr Parul Patni, Nutritionist- Lifestyle and Weight Management Expert.Foods cooked with reused oil
They are high in free radicals and should be completely eliminated from the diet. Free radicals cause oxidative stress which causes damage at the cellular and molecular level.
