Abstract
Modern life is filled with the stress in the concrete jungle (artificial nature). The stress enters the body through the five senses and triggers the oxidation stress by a complicated course and disturbs the oxidant - antioxidant balance in the body and causes stress diseases such as frailty. Since accelerated oxidative stress decreases antioxidant vitamins level in the blood, some latent deficiencies would be highlighted as the healthy problem. For example, latent scurvy (fatigue, short temper, muscular pain) not leading to the scurvy has been reported. The filling of the inadequate vitamins such as antioxidant vitamins becomes important. This review focuses on the benefits of antioxidants vitamins especially vitamin C and vitamin E to determine "how modern people maintain good health in the modern society?".
