The process of oxidation is easy to witness when you see metal rusting, but it can be more difficult to detect when it is taking place in our bodies. In fact, oxidation is constantly occurring due to various reactions in our bodies. And while this process is essential for life, it can also have detrimental effects.

This is why it is so essential to receive adequate amounts of antioxidants—whether from green tea, acai or other fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants inhibit the oxidation of other molecules, effectively curtailing the production of free radicals. These free radicals are the destructive component of the oxidation process, starting a chain of reactions which wreak havoc on your cells.
