Antioxidant
Free Radicals

Oxygen is the stuff of life, yet it also contributes to the formation of free radicals, molecules that destroy cell membranes and speed aging. Fortunately, we have on our side little hunter-gatherers called antioxidants to keep free-radical damage in check. Besides helping us stay young in mind and body, antioxidants are a snap to incorporate into our diets, found in everything from fresh produce to wine and chocolate.
