Antioxidants are found most commonly in brightly coloured fruits and vegetables, green tea, dark chocolate and even red wine. Antioxidant vitamins and minerals include Vitamin C and E, Selenium and Zinc, so foods rich in these nutrients tend to be good sources antioxidants. Different *phytonutrients in plants also provide valuable antioxidants for the body. The job of antioxidants is simply and literally to wander throughout the body mopping up excess free radicals produced from the toxins and harmful chemicals we encounter through everyday living. Antioxidants help to stabilise these free radicals and may help prevent the cellular damage that paves the way for illness and disease.*Phytonutrients are defined as those nutrients found in vegetation which play a key role in sustaining human life. You may be more familiar with the term phytochemicals, which (while labelled non-nutrients) are natural chemicals produced by a plant to protect it from ultraviolet rays, disease, injury, insects and pollutants. Phytochemicals, one could argue, are to the life of a plant what antioxidants are to the life of a human. Phytonutrients offer a source of those all-important antioxidants.So we can see that it is impossible to avoid free radicals as they are produced naturally in our body and are also abundantly present in our environment. However, we can help provide our body with additional protection with the help of antioxidants.Left unchecked, free radicals can cause disease. Morlife researchers understand how critical that line of defence is in maintaining not just a healthy body but creating wellness – the ability to prevent illness before it has a chance to impede your health in the first place.Antioxidants work naturally to neutralize free radicals – and you need a “bucket full” in today’s climate.
