Anti-oxidants are essential for normal metabolism and protect cells against oxidative stress. They protect cell membranes and tissues against the damaging effects of free radicals and protect against free radicals in cigarette smoke/air pollution.

Anti-oxidants are phytochemicals, vitamins and other nutrients that protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. Studies have shown that anti-oxidants help prevent the damage that is associated with degenerative disorders. Anti-oxidants can be found in most fruits and vegetables but also culinary herbs and medicinal herbs can contain high levels of anti-oxidants.

Free radicals are formed as part of your natural metabolism but also by environmental factors, including smoking, pesticides, pollution and radiation. Free radicals are unstable molecules which react easily with essential molecules of your body, including DNA, fat and proteins. When a free radical attacks a molecule, it will then become a free radical itself, causing a chain reaction which can result in the destruction of a cell. Anti-oxidants have the ability to neutralise free radicals. However, when the anti-oxidant neutralises a free radical it becomes inactive. Therefore you need to continuously supply your body with anti-oxidants.
