As our environment becomes more technologically advanced, we become exposed to more oxidative damage.  Electromagnetic radiation (EMF), dirty electricity, chemicals, herbicides, GMO, all provide daily sources of oxidative stress on the body.   This process of oxidative stress causes free radicals, these are molecules that are related to aging and all chronic and inflammatory diseases.  Scientists believe that it is these free radicals that contribute to the aging process. They also may play a part in diseases, like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Antioxidants are chemicals that help stop or limit damage caused by free radicals. Your body uses antioxidants to balance free radicals. Antioxidants can be found naturally in some foods like cranberries, red grapes, peaches, raspberries, strawberries, red currants, figs, cherries, pears, guava, oranges, apricots, red grapes, cantaloupe, watermelon, papaya, and tomatoes.
