Did you know that antioxidants are the body’s primary defence against free radicals in the body?
Free radicals can be a result of improper diet, an unhealthy lifestyle, inflammation, stress, and pollution just to name a few. Free radicals are highly unstable and reactive and can wreak havoc on the body.
Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Carotenoids are responsible for capturing these free radicals, and since free radicals may lead to cancer, antioxidants are important because they may help protect the cells from free radical damage.
