What You Need to Know About Anti-Oxidants, by Dr. Mark Pedersen

Anti-Oxidants are nutrients in foods that can prevent or slow down the cellular damage caused by oxidative stress.  Oxidative stress, or oxidation, is much like rusting. It damages our cells in the same way that oxygen damages metal when it rusts.

When our bodies use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals as a by-product.  These free radicals can damage cells and lead to problems such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, macular degeneration and more.  Anti-Oxidants scoop up and neutralize free radicals, preventing this cellular damage from occurring.

In a recent British study, researchers determined that the Anti-Oxidants contained in 5 servings of fruits and vegetables reduce the risk of stroke by 25 percent.  In addition, Anti-Oxidants also enhance your immune system and lower the risk of infection and cancer.
