Superfoods are high in anti-oxidants that
fight free radicals in the body. Free radicals may sound a little like
an extremist terrorist sect evading capture and wreaking havoc across
the globe and in fact within the context of your body this would be
right. They are, in part, a natural occurrence through metabolism
however extra and unnecessary free radical load can be put on our bodies
by external factors including pollution, cigarette smoke, radiation,
burnt foods, deep fried fats and cooked foods. When enough of these free
radicals invade our immune system problems occurs. This is when you
need antioxidants to build up the immune system and fight off the free
radicals in the form of superfoods or supplements
