Antioxidants
Antioxidants are substances that may
protect our cells against the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are
molecules produced when our body breaks down food, or by environmental
exposures like tobacco smoke and radiation. Free radicals can damage cells, and
may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Oxidation reactions can
produce free radicals, which start chain reactions that damage cells.
Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical
intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized
themselves.

Maida Vs Wheat
Maida
is made from wheat. When you grind wheat grains in a mill you obtain wheat
flour and when the wheat flour is pressed through a very fine sieve you obtain
Maida. Maida is refined wheat flour. Wheat flour has the goodness of bran and
fiber and therefore healthy. Maida is very refined wheat flour with all the
bran removed and is pure carb.
