Whether its the toxins we ingest through the foods we eat or the air we breathe, it's important to supplement your diet with antioxidants to boost your immune and be proactive towards good health!
Antioxidants help reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers and boost your immune system. Cells need oxygen to function, use of this oxygen produces harmful by-products called Free Radicals. FR are also created from environmental pollution, certain industrial chemicals, and smoking. Certain vitamins (C, E, and beta-carotene) can help the body ward off FR and prevent oxidation.These vitamins are called antioxidants. Oxidation is responsible for browning a sliced apple, inside the body oxidation contributes to heart disease, cancer, cataracts, aging, and many other degenerative diseases.
FR can be described as unstable, hyperactive atoms that circulate in your body and damage healthy cells and tissue (Total Nutrition for Canadians).
