Antioxidants

Antioxidants are helpful in protecting against the effects of free radicals, which cause damage to cells. Free radicals are produced when your body converts food into energy or can come from external sources such as pollution. The key dietary vitamins that protect your body from oxidative damage are beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E. Selenium also plays a key role in the formation of a powerful antioxidant, glutathione.

It is important to have a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
