Luckily are available to stop this unwanted process, but the body can't generate its own antioxidants, and must rely on plants to help out. In these circumstances, it is easy to realize why it is necessary to choose our diet with care, and ensure that we add lots of antioxidant rich fruit and vegetables in what we eat.

Although the majority of people are inclined to do something to protect their cars from oxidation, or rust, they seem unwilling to protect themselves, from free radical damage. For sure the car will soon deteriorate if rusting is permitted to get worse, but our bodies will become "rusty" if free radicals are not held at bay. Of course you should tend to your car, but you should make your first priority looking after yourself. A great place to start is consuming 5 - 9 fruit and vegetables every day, and the they include.

Sadly, the risk from free radicals is not just from food, but also from environmental contaminants, such as factory emissions, tobacco smoke, and the like. It is not possible to steer clear of them all, but a sure way to protect yourself, is by a practical knowledge of antioxidants. There are delicious fruits and vegetables, in plentiful supply, to assist your cause, but you have to make sure that you are getting plenty, by erring towards the top of the suggested intake, of 9 portions every day.

Fortunately are readily obtainable to restore the balance, and deal with any overload
