According to the specialist, under such conditions, the body needs antioxidants that help preserve youth, reduce inflammatory processes, and prevent the breakdown of collagen.
"Natural sources of antioxidants are seasonal summer fruits, vegetables, and berries. Eating them straight from the garden is ideal. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, watermelons, and peaches are rich in antioxidants," - said Mikhailova.
Also, nuts, green tea, and dark chocolate are rich in antioxidants.
