Antioxidants

What is an Antioxidant?

Well, to understand what an antioxidant does, you have to first understand what the oxidation process is. Oxidation, is the transfer of electrons (one of the building blocks of every atom that makes up your body) from one cell to another. This is a chemical reaction that is probably taking place in your body even as you read this.

This reaction can cause the creation of free radicals (highly reactive chemicals in the body that can damage cells). The reactions then caused by these free radicals can be harmful over long periods of time.

What's In It for Me?

Antioxidants have found their way into numerous dietary supplements. The goal is to essentially create a balance in the human body to prevent (at least as much as is possible) the degradation of your cells. This promotes a healthy cellular system in the long term. People who have a healthy amount of antioxidants in their diet have a lower risk of heart disease, as well as some neurological diseases.

I, for one, would certainly like a lower risk of cardiac pain and arrest... wouldn't you?
