NUTRITION ALERT
ANTIOXIDANTS
Powerful Body Protectors
by John Jabari Michel
How often on the news stations and magazine articles have you heard the term antioxidants? Antioxidants – Are substances that reduce cell damage due to oxygen, such as caused by free radicals. They neutralize the damage done by free radicals. Antioxidants are chemicals in your body that can be reduced or increased depending on the types of food you eat. Well-known antioxidants include enzymes and other substances such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta carotene, which are capable of counteracting the damaging
effects of oxidation. Antioxidants also protect our DNA from free radicals and radiation damage. DNA damage opens the door to every imaginable illness and accelerates aging.
