Role and impact of Dietary Antioxidants on Aging and Lifespan: A Review
Abstract: The effect of an antioxidant-rich diet on aging and lifespan has attracted significant scientific attention, primarily through the lens of the free radical theory of aging (FRTA). This theory suggests that oxidative stress caused by an accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), accelerates aging and contributes to cellular damage. The accumulation of free radicals and the oxidative damage that is induced significantly contribute to the aging process. This imbalance plays …
