What role do anti-oxidants play in the human body and on the brain specifically?

Antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting the human body from oxidative stress, which is caused by free radicals that can damage cells and contribute to aging and various diseases. In the brain, antioxidants help maintain cognitive function by reducing inflammation and protecting neurons from oxidative damage, potentially lowering the risk of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
