| Antioxidants |
Luckily, the body has an antioxidant system, comprised of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other compounds, that sweeps up and deactivates free radicals. The most potent of the dietary antioxidants are vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, selenium, and a group of health-enhancing compounds called phytochemicals found in fruits and vegetables, beans, garlic, and green tea. Stockpiling a strong antioxidant defense by consuming foods rich in the antioxidants helps slow or even half free-radical damage to the tissues.
