The same oxidation process that we see on the left side of this apple happens to cells in the human body everyday.
But there is good news...
Free Radicals can be controlled with compounds called antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. The right side of this apple was covered with a lemon juice solution. The antioxidants in the lemon juice protect the fruit from deteriorating or "going brown".
The apple doesn't just look fresher, it is fresher. The antioxidants have protected the cells of the apple from free radical damage.
Antioxidants in your body have much the same affect. The key is to have enough in your body at all times to stop the damage before it occurs.
How do you know if you are getting enough?
