By taking antioxidants, of course. Normally, the body can handle free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable, or if the free-radical production becomes excessive, damage can occur. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by donating one of their own electrons, ending the electron-"stealing" reaction. The antioxidant nutrients themselves don’t become free radicals by donating an electron because they are stable in either form. They act as scavengers, helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease.

What antioxidants should you take?

As our bodies age, the accumulation of environmental toxins and poor lifestyle habits leaves us vulnerable to free radical damage. The most available antioxidants are those you get from eating plenty of fruits and vegetables--vitamins C and E. However, with cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease on the rise every year, it is wise to supplement this vital health ingredient. Below are brief descriptions of the products we recommend with links to more information on our website.
