Four: The Importance of Antioxidants
Antioxidants
are found in certain types of food and are extremely beneficial to our
health. Essentially antioxidants are
substances which deactivate particles called free radicals. Free radicals can over time be very harmful
to the body and cause damage to cells and DNA.
This can lead to certain diseases such as cancer. A diet which is rich in antioxidants has been
shown to prevent and protect the body from disease. Therefore getting plenty of antioxidants in
our body is very important.

Free particles come from a variety of sources such as air pollutants and cigarette smoke. Antioxidants work to protect our bodies from these free radicals which can be very damaging.
