Free radicals, their effects
on cells, and the antioxidants that neutralize the damage they can do are
very poorly understood. However, a simple analogy removes much of the
mystery.
Imagine that you are moving
your belongings from one home to another. Your fine wooden furniture is your
cells. The sides of the truck are free radicals, and the scrapes and gauges
those sides leave in your furniture as its shifts during transit is the
damage free radicals can do.
In this analogy, furniture
pads are the antioxidants. They cushion the blow of the free radical so that
serious damage is prevented.
In real life, free radicals
are unmatched electrons that spin out of the orbit of their molecules. When
they do this, they are out of control, and go zipping about wherever they
please. On their journey, they collide with your cells at enormous speeds,
thus damaging your cell’s walls and leaving cellular function impaired.
Antioxidants are molecules that have extra electrons that attract the free
radicals, so that the free radicals join the orbit of another molecule. This
converts the free radical into a functional electron that can do no harm.
It is well established that
modest levels of many antioxidants are superior to mega-doses of just a few.

antioxidant factors you’ll find anywhere.
