Protect yourself from free radicals
Antioxidants protect your body from harm caused by free radicals. These are atoms of increasing reactivity that can be found in pollutants like industrial chemicals, cigarette smoke, and other environmental pollutants. They also occur in our bodies. Free radicals can damage proteins, fats and DNA, which may lead to various health conditions. These include heart disease, arthritis and cancer. Spices rich in antioxidants, such as turmeric, may help protect against free radical damage.
