How common is it for us to develop skin allergies or feel oxidative stress piling in our body?
Modern-day health issues.
Well, health issues are no longer uncommon owing to the ever-increasing pollution, environmental conditions and lack of essential nutrients in our bodies.
So, let’s continue to talk about one more beneficial phytochemical – flavonoids!
What are flavonoids? Like saponins, flavonoids too are a diverse group of plant polyphenols. They are commonly known for their antioxidant activities that aid in warding off harmful toxins from our bodies. This antioxidant activity has been the most interesting property of flavonoids due to their ability to reduce the free radical formation and scavenge free radicals. |
What do flavonoids do? – Flavonoids aid in regulating cellular activity and combat free radicals, which cause oxidative stress in the body. – Flavonoids as antioxidants assist in combating potentially hazardous chemicals that enter the body. Although your body produces antioxidants naturally, consuming ayurvedic products rich in flavonoids is a good decision. – Flavonoids also provide strong antioxidant protection to the skin and reduce the risk of potential harm caused by UV radiation with their anti-allergic, anti-carcinogenic, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. Well, these are quite some amazing benefits indeed! |
