Okay, to start off with the body is continually replenishing its cells. The body is constantly preparing damage, creating more cells which produce energy through what is called cellular metabolism. Free radicals a by-product of cellular metabolism are really unstable molecules.

Free radicals are unstable as they are missing an electron and so they can actually damage the body. There is theft going on when free radicals steel electrons from cells to become stable and this activity can cause damage to cells in a number of ways.

Free radicals come from outside sources as well such as cigarette smoke, radiation and UV rays. The damage is greater when we encounter more free radicals.

Antioxidants combine with free radicals neutralizing them so no more damage can be done so are very helpful in dealing with this problem. Scientists don't know what daily dosage of antioxidants to take to win the battle over age related diseases, but they know that foods rich in antioxidants will greatly improve how we live and feel as we age.

Antioxidants are easy to find because they are all around us. Look in the nearest farmer's market or in the produce aisle. Fruits and vegetables are the principle sources of antioxidants.

Examples of antioxidants include: * Vitamin C * Vitamin A * Vitamin E * Lutein * Lycopene * Beta-carotene

Try and stay away from juices as they contain sugar which is not needed by the body and eat fruits in their natural state as much as possible.

Food is a great essential we all need and it does more than quench our hunger. Natural substances in foods we eat help us to live longer, stay younger and free of disease as we all get older.

Eating the right foods boosts your immune system, metabolism and energy levels so that you can live an active healthy life.
