antioxidants

This infusion is full of useful antioxidants. These are substances that can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals, unstable molecules that the body produces as a reaction to environmental and other pressures.

‘Oxidative’ stress has been linked to heart disease, cancers, arthritis, stroke, respiratory diseases, immune deficiency, emphysema, Parkinson’s disease, and other inflammatory or ischemic conditions.

Antioxidants are said to help neutralise free radicals in our bodies, and this boosts overall health.
