| I’ve been hearing so much about antioxidants lately. What exactly are they, and what can they do for my health? |
Antioxidants are components of food — found mostly in vegetables and fruits — that fight harmful “free radicals” in the body. These free radicals might otherwise damage healthy cells. Research shows that antioxidants may reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, Alzheimer's disease and other chronic diseases. Source: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2006. |
