Food Sources of Antioxidants

Antioxidants is the name for a substance that serves to protect the body from free radical attack.
Antioxidants help to stop the process of cell destruction by providing electrons to free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals that will no longer have the ability to steal electrons from cells and DNA. The process that occurs is actually very complex but can simply be described like that.
