| DEFINITION: |
These are a group of
vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that help protect the body from the
formation of free radicals. Free radicals are atoms that can cause
damage to cells, impairing the immune system, leading to infection and
various degenerative diseases such as heart disease and cancer. |
| SOURCES: |
Anti-oxidants can be obtained
from food sources such as sprouted grains and fresh fruits and
vegetables. It is however difficult to get enough of them from these
sources to hold back the free radicals constantly being generated in our
polluted environment. |
