Protect Your Health with Food RemediesHealthy foods can help you combat some of the more common health risks you face everyday. Food remedies can be very effective in dealing with health problems that are the result of what free radicals do to your body.
Simply put, free radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that are missing an electron. They cruise around your body, attacking other molecules in search of an electron to replace their lost one and damaging healthy cells in the process.
Food rememdies such as eating fruits, vegetables and other antioxidant-rich foods can neutralize and stabilize these free radicals by replacing that missing electron. That�s why it�s so important to protect your healthy cells with a balanced diet. . .
