About AntioxidantsFree radicals freely roam throughout our bodies, actively seeking places to step in and short-circuit (damage) the normal, healthy functions of a cell. Some experts believe free radicals are involved in triggering cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease, to name only a few, and that they are associated with the aging process, potentially resulting in premature death. Because of our less-than-perfect diets, stressful lives, and polluted environments, our needs for these vital nutrients increase, making antioxidants exceedingly important for us to live a healthy, vibrant life. |
