Antioxidant Chart – Fruits And Vegetables
Antioxidants protect the body’s cells against oxidants. These can damage the cell’s surface, alter its DNA or completely kill the cell. Oxidants cause oxidative stress if the body does not have time to take care of them. It can lead to diseases. A diet naturally rich in antioxidants helps protect the body.
