When there is a high level of free radicals, insulin resistance can develop. Free radicals refer to molecules that contain unpaired electrons. They can damage cell membranes and other body parts.
The main sources of free radicals are food additives.

The best way to avoid free radicals is to eat a balanced diet high in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect against oxidative damage.
Antioxidant vitamins include Vitamin C (found in citrus fruits), beta carotene (found in carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, broccoli, cantaloupe, apricots, squash, mangoes, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, watermelon, and strawberries), and Vitamin E (found in nuts, olive oil, avocados, and eggs).
Other antioxidant nutrients include selenium, copper, manganese, and zinc.
Selenium is known to protect cells from the oxidative damage that free radicals can cause. Selenium may be found in Brazil nuts as well tuna, liver and kidneys. It can also be found on shrimp, cod, turkey, beef lamb, pork, chicken, and other foods.
Copper protects the brain, eyes, lungs, and red blood cells. Copper is found in shellfish, poultry, meat, and organ meats.
Manganese forms an essential part of bone structure. Manganese is found in brown rice, spinach, bananas, prunes, raisins, oatmeal, and lentils.
Zinc is necessary for average growth, reproduction, and wound healing. Zn can also be found in white fish, lean cuts of meat, poultry, and eggs.
