Getting antioxidants from Vitamins

	Ad goes here

So many words get tossed around these days they become familiar without ever really knowing what they mean. For me, one of those words is antioxidants. I know they are good and that was about it until I looked into it a little further. Just like Superman, antioxidants are the super heros of cells. They protect cells by attaching themselves to free radicals that left alone could do damage to many areas.

Free radicals otherwise known as cellular by products are created during cellular metabolism and antioxidants stick to them. When they bind together the potentially harmful free radicals become harmless. If they were left alone they can potentially cause heart problems, cancer, cataracts, strokes and other immune issues.

Naturally antioxidants can be found and ingested in fruit and vegetables like spinach, carrots, and broccoli. Through vitamins they can be ingested through Vitamins A, E, C and selenium. Supplementing your diet with antioxidants is recommended for people dieting, the elderly, smokers, people with weak immune systems, people who drink a lot or take a lot of aspirin.
