Free radicals are organic molecules produced in the body. They are responsible for the signs of ageing, and also diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers.
Antioxidants occur naturally in certain foods, and they reduce the damage done to body cells by the free radicals.
BERRIES are a great source of antioxidants, particularly BLUEBERRIES, which contain anthocyanins - substances that have been proven to strengthen collagen in the skin, and help prevent it from sagging.
GREEN TEA has antibacterial properties, and is fantastic for skin because it contains polyphenols. These help prevent puffy eyes and soothe areas of red skin.
ACAI BERRIES have an amazing high amount of anti ageing antioxidants, but they cannot be bought fresh in the UK, so many people buy them freeze dried, as juices, or in supplement form.
But the best thing of all.......... DRINK WATER!
