Antioxidants are our best defense
against the damage to our cells caused
by free-radicals. Free-radicals are
oxygen containing molecules created in
our cells during normal metabolism.
They also come from pollutants in the
environment. Free radicals are very
damaging to our cells and they are
responsible for much of the damage
caused by many diseases. The regular
use of antioxidants prevent the build
up of destructive toxins or remove
from our bodies if ingested.
Antioxidants should be a part of any
healthy lifestyle. These are vital for
strong joints also. |
