Are you getting enough antioxidants? Your health problems could be due to a lack of these vital molecules. Find out how antioxidant juice drinks could give your health a boost
You've probably heard the word antioxidant alot, but what does it really mean? Where do we get them from? What EXACTLY do they do? Why might antioxidant juice drinks help you? These questions will be answered in this lens for you.
To understand what an antioxidant is, we first need to understand what the term 'oxidation' means, because if we break down the word antioxidant, it basically means against (anti) oxidation (oxidant). Simply put, oxidation is the name for the reaction that happens when oxygen reacts with other molecules. I'm not going to go into all the scientific stuff about electrons and neutrons, but just point out the real life examples:
1. Oxygen 'oxidizes' your car to make it rust
2. Oxygen 'oxidizes' copper to make it go that green colour you've probably seen on old coins
3. Oxygen 'oxidizes' your fruit to make it go moldy
4. OXYGEN 'OXIDIZES' YOU TO DAMAGE YOUR CELLS AND CAUSE AGING (a bit like the fruit I'm afraid, it just takes longer)

How can antioxidant juice drinks help?
It is not the actual reaction of oxidation that causes the problems but the product given off as a result of the reaction. It produces nasty molecules called 'free radicals'. These are the molecules that damage cells. Now that we have a bit more understanding, we can answer the first question. What do antioxidants actually do?
Antioxidants get in the way of the reaction between oxygen, and in our case, the cells in our bodies.
No chemical reaction = No free radical production = No cell damage!
Therefore, by taking on board extra anioxidants via antioxidant juice drinks, we are offering our bodies more protection against these free radicals. Onto the next question:

Where are Antioxidants Found?
Have you had your 5 a day!?
This is why eating a variety of different fruit and veg is important to cover all types. Some may only have a few, where as power fruits such as the tropical fruit, mangosteen has about 43!
What If You Don't Get Your 5-a Day?
This is where you may benefit from antioxidant juice drinks!
Zambroza is a mixture of 10 of the highest antioxidants known to man (including mangosteen!). If you're REALLY unhealthy, you might want to take it every day. For me, I use it once or twice a week (weekends!!!). You can individualise the use of antioxidant juice drinks to your needs.
