Antioxidants are just that: they fight (anti) oxidation. The chemical process of oxidation is like rusting metal. A molecule loses electrons and creates the infamous free radicals. Oxidation is also the reason why apples, bananas, and avocados go brown when the skin is broken, and they're exposed to air - they're getting oxidised. Free radicals in the body cause inflammation and can contribute to diseases like cancers, diabetes, and heart disease (to name a few).
