Antioxidants Benefit Cardiovascular Health

Antioxidants are believed to contribute to health in a number of ways including fighting aging, enhancing immune function and preventing abnormal cell growth. Now a new study has confirmed that antioxidants can help at-risk individuals improve their heart health.
Researchers gave 70 patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors either antioxidant capsules containing a blend of vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q10 and selenium, or placebo capsules for six months.
Tests at the beginning of the trial, after three months and at the six-month mark revealed that the patients in the antioxidant group had more elastic arteries (a measure of increased cardiovascular health) and better blood sugar and cholesterol profiles.
"Antioxidant supplementation significantly increased large and small artery elasticity in patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors," said lead researcher Reuven Zimlichman. "This beneficial vascular effect was associated with an improvement in glucose and lipid metabolism as well as significant decrease in blood pressure."
Dietary sources of antioxidants include berries, spinach, artichokes, garlic, sweet potatoes, pomegranates, almonds and peppers. They are also widely available in nutritional supplement form.
The study appears in BioMed Central’s open access journal Nutrition and Metabolism.
