Antioxidant-Rich Diets: A Preventative Strategy for Reducing the Risk of Preterm Birth

Preterm birth, defined as delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is a significant public health concern due to its association with neonatal mortality and long-term health issues. Recent research suggests that antioxidant-rich diets may help reduce the risk of preterm birth by mitigating oxidative stress. This paper explores the role of dietary antioxidants in preventing preterm labor, discusses the mechanisms involved, reviews pertinent studies and provides dietary recommendations for pregnant women.
