Anti-Oxidant Herbs
Oxidation and anti-oxidation take place every day with all living organisms, animals and plants, including humans. Normally, with a healthy body, these two processes are balanced, but in some cases, more oxidants are generated (from food, a highly polluted environment), or a certain disease overdoes them. The antioxidant process is weakened (chronic disease, advanced age…), which will lead to pathological conditions and others diseases.
