Broccoli and other leafy green vegetables contain powerful phytochemical antioxidants in the carotenoid family called lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which are concentrated in large quantities in the lens of the eye

Quercetinis one of the most important flavonoids present in red grapes.It acts as an antioxidant by preventing the oxidized cholesterol from accumulating and it also helps in the treatment of allergies as it provides antihistamine effects
