Anti-Oxidants

Oxigen is the key to our living,
it provide us with energy, plenty of them.

However, we should also consider the side effects of oxigen.
Lets take a look at the dark side of it.

Oxidants.
If you place a cut apple, exposed to air, and you could see what the air
can do to the apple. The process is called - oxidation.

In our body, the same thing happens, just that we don't see it happening, unlike
the apple. We could see the apple turns into brownish color, and somehow you can see
wrinkles on it. And what happens to our body? Yes, we get older.

Free radicals are produced in the process which oxigen takes part. These free radicals can and will destroy our cells from part to part. Eventually doing damage to
the entire tissue and the system.

Let me give an example,
if the "attack" concentrates on your brain, you are likely to get the Alzheimer's Disease; On your joints, Rheumatoid Arthritis; Your eyes, eye diseases;

Thus you can see, those attack will first lead to illnesses, then to inflammations, finally to cancers.

But what is keeping us from this harm??
The miracle creation of our body. Our body generates anti-oxidants from vitamins, minerals, and other essential products to fight against the free radicals.

Thanks to them, we recovers instead of getting a cancer.

However, there are too many that produce free radicals compared to that we can generate anti-oxidants. Those including stress, air pollution, water pollution, excessive workouts, and many other more.
That is why we are in the *bi-health condition.

So, the one thing you can do is to aid our body in this fight. Equip our body with
enough materials, nutritions.

Fight oxidants, live healthier.
