What is an Antioxidant? Antioxidants are molecules that will safely interact with free radicals to prevent vital molecules from being damaged. In short, an anti-oxidant is one of many chemicals that reduce or prevent oxidation, thus preventing cell and tissue damage from the free radicals in our bodies. What
is a Free Radical? Normally, anything we get for free is a good thing. Not always the case with free radicals that are in our bodies! A free radical in the body is an atom or group of atoms, usually an oxygen molecule that has lost an electron. It will stabilize itself by stealing an electron from a nearby molecule. This causes atomic instability within body cells, even as deep as DNA.
These high-energy particles bounce around our bodies like a pinball, damaging cells. It should be noted that some free radicals are helpful. The key is good nutrition to combat the damaging free radicals with antioxidants.

carbs! Here is a list of some foods that will include these good carbs –
