In doing so, our immune system creates a kind of "memory" that recognizes which antibodies have already been produced. Over the course of our lives, the immune system must fight many defensive battles. The healthy body distinguishes between"bad" microorganismssuch as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites and"good" microbesHowimportant intestinal bacteria.

Consequently, the more cells in an organ are damaged by free radicals, the worse the organ's health.

Antioxidants – powerful helpers in the fight against free radicals

Antioxidants, also called radical scavengers, can protect our cells from dangerous free radicals. Because antioxidants are able to interrupt the chain reactions of free radicals andto prevent dangerous cell damageBut which foods contain reliable antioxidants? In a diet based primarily on white grains, milk, and meat, antioxidants are rarely found. However, these valuable radical scavengers are increasingly found in colorful fruits and vegetables, sprouts, wild plants, naturalOilandFatsas well as in seeds and nuts.
