Antioxidants are substances that protect the body by neutralizing molecules known as free radicals. These free radicals – which can impact cell health – are produced when eating or exercising, or by exposure to certain chemicals and ultraviolet rays from the sun. Smog and pollution in the air or chemicals which are in your food may also create many free radicals. Your body will use antioxidants it can make or antioxidants you derive from foods or dietary supplements in order to neutralize or destroy these free radicals. Certain foods including oranges, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, kale, brussels sprouts, and cabbage are all loaded with antioxidants along with hundreds of other foods. Dozens of spices and seasoning such as turmeric and garlic may also be used as a source of antioxidants. If you do not get enough antioxidants through your diet, Stallop Formulas^® offers several dietary supplements which provide another source of antioxidants or that have antioxidative properties.
