To be honest, I really don't know what benefit we get from antioxidants although I have heard that it is good for our skin. That antioxidants can give us a younger look maybe but there is no scientific proof on it. So maybe let's just say that it is a kind of vitamin that we need but not for a specific purpose.

Antioxidants help you defend your cells from the damage caused by molecules known as free radicals. You should eat a diet rich in antioxidants, like pecans, dark chocolate, blueberries, and strawberries to name a few.

Antioxidants just as the name implies, they help to eliminate oxidants in one's body system which are harmful to one's good health. It's a good thing to have most antioxidants come from fresh fruits which helps to make it very simple and healthy to drink.

From the comments here, now I have a good reason to eat chocolate. I was not aware of this information before but I might have come across it. I just didn't pay attention. Now it is time to start budgeting for chocolates.
