Free radicals in the body are tracked down by antioxidants which then neutralize any effects of the free radicals normally considered harmful. As a result, the body has healthier cells which aren't as susceptible to developing cancer.
It's clear, or certainly should be by now, that antioxidants should be included in a healthy, well-balanced diet. With all of the sources available, you are bound to come up with at least a few that can be added to a meal or two throughout your day. Be sure to include them in Thanksgiving dinner and other holiday meals so everyone can enjoy the benefits of antioxidants.
If you can't find enough antioxidant rich foods to supply the level you need, you can always turn to an antioxidant supplement. There are numerous selections on the market today.
