Once upon a time few people few what an anti-oxidant was, today most people have heard of an anti-oxidant.

We have heard that if we get enough of these antioxidants they can slow down the speed of destruction and aging by neutralizing free-radials.

So if you don’t get enough anti-oxidants you will age faster, the research is now saying if you don’t get enough anti-oxidant you will get fatter.

As already mentioned our cells are under constant attack and destruction by free-radials, they can damage any part of the body. It would seem without enough anti-oxidants the cells that notify us we are full are being damaged!

We will produce more free-radials with a diet of processed foods no matter the amount of calories or whether they are diet foods or not – from paste, pastry, pizza, candy, cakes, cookies, chips, diet bars, white bread etc

Each year the cells become weaker as the free-radials attack, and the “full” signals also becomes weaker.

What to do to protect these cells and help regenerate them, eat much much in the way of fresh fruits and vegetables – full of anti-oxidants, and fiber which will also make you feel fuller.

Protect those cells – get back that feeling “stop eating I am full”.

The other important thing about anti-oxidants is they seemed to improve the metabolism, particularly the flavonoids.
