An ANTIOXIDANT is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction inside the cell that produces FREE RADICALS. This causes chain reactions to occur inside the cell which leads to damage or death to that cell. ANTIOXIDANTS terminate these chain reactions. There are things that we do in our everyday lives that can both increase or decrease our bodies natural defense against FREE RADICALS. Our choices can ultimately lead to the progression or prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, overall tissue degeneration, early aging and cancer. 10 Things that Produce Free Radicals in the Body smokingpoor dietexcess body weightenvironmental toxinsair pollutionpoor sleeping habitsradiation (sunlight and x-rays)excessive exercisehigh stress levelshigh levels of inflammation in the body 20 Most Potent Antioxidant Foods *U.S. Department of Agriculture* small red beans (dried) wild blueberries red kidney beans pinto beans blueberries (cultivated) cranberries artichokes (cooked) blackberries prunes raspberries strawberries red delicious apples granny smith apples pecans sweet cherries black plums russet potatoes (cooked) black beans (dried) plums gala apples The equation is simple.
