Antioxidants - the Why and What?

I have heard a saying often that I have revised somewhat that says:
"The doctor of real health will prescribe no medicine, but will interest his patients in the cause and prevention of disease."

Yes, disease and most illnesses can be prevented - and the beauty of this is that the solutions are sensible and simple because the real power of prevention lies in our foods - namely our antioxotants!

Antioxidants are great wholesome foods that battle free radicals that cause disease, and naturally build our immune system. Here are a list of some foods that are higher in antioxidants, though all raw fruits, vegetables, sprouts and nuts have some antioxidants.

* goji berries
* acai fruit
* blueberries
* pomegranats
* kale
* spinach
* walnuts
* apples
* wheat grass
* green tea
* green sprouts

This is just a list of some of our great antioxidant foods, but if you eat some of these on a daily basis, you will be able to have a stronger immune system for fighting disease!

To your best health,
