Oxidative stress, characterized by excessive production of reactive species is involved in several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, chronic obstructive pulmonary, sickle cell, chronic kidney, neurodegenerative and cancer. The negative impact of ROS, RNS produced by endogenous and exogenous processes, are neutralized by antioxidant defenses. Given the importance of oxidative stress to human health, the use of antioxidants as therapy directs medical research towards the specificity of antioxidants causing each disease. Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants as nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and phytoceuticals and the consumption of which reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases. Flora of African countries is endowed with plant species that would make a putative source for new antioxidants. This article reports antioxidant activities of traditional foods from Democratic Republic of the Congo. Further studies are needed to ensure mechanisms of their functionality in the human body.
