Nutrition Tip

Acknowledge Your Antioxidants

Antioxidant is a classification of nutrients, including vitamins C and E, vitamin A (which is converted from beta-carotene), selenium (a mineral), and a group known as the carotenoids. Antioxidants play the housekeeper's role, "mopping up" free radicals before they get a chance to do harm in your body. These substances are thought to be effective in helping to prevent cancer, heart disease, and stroke.
