Antioxidant plants

Some time ago we told you that the antioxidants are substances capable of preventing cellular oxidation caused by the dreaded free radicals; something certainly fundamental, given that this oxidation accelerates aging, causing mutations in cells that could cause cancer or other degenerative diseases.

For this reason, it is very important that, in our daily diet, we always choose those foods that in one way or another are much more antioxidant than others.

If you opt for this type of food, also the Phytotherapy can be very helpful, since there are a number of plants rich in antioxidants that will help you (and a lot).
