What do antioxidants do, you may ask?
They eliminate harmful free radicals from the body making you stronger and healthier. Free radicals are a part of life, our body releases them when we breathe, run, and age ... but even MORE are produced with harmful pollutions, toxins in the air & food, and alcohol - so the MORE antioxidants in your diet the BETTER chance you have to resist the damage caused by free radicals and greatly reduce the risk of certain cancers.
