Antioxidant Overload

If you’re ANTI oxidants – don’t overdo it...

It’s a fact of life – too much of a good thing can be bad – and that goes for antioxidants too. Our bodies actually require SOME oxidants – they help deliver oxygen to our muscles. Going overboard with ANTI-oxidants can mess up that process. It’s all about balance. It doesn’t take any effort to get the oxidants we need – they’re everywhere – but if you already have a healthy diet and eat a lot of whole foods – you can skip the ANTI-oxidant supplements.
