How Do Antioxidants Work?

 
Our bodies are battlegrounds for infection and diseases.  Simple body functions, such as breathing, and other lifestyle habits, such as smoking, produce substances called free radicals that attack healthy cells, causing oxidation (a process similar to “rusting”).  When these healthy cells are weakened, they are more susceptible to heart disease and certain types of cancer. Antioxidants help protect healthy cells from damage caused by free radicals.
