Free Radicals, Oxidation, and Bio-rusting To date, a large body of scientific research suggests that oxidation plays a central role in the initiation and progression of many chronic diseases. 1. Fruits and vegetables are a rich source of antioxidants that have been shown to counteract the effects of oxidation in the body. A correlation has been found between fruit and vegetable consumption and a decreased risk for heart disease, stroke, cancer, gastrointestinal issues, and eye disease. 2. Research has shown antioxidants from fruits and vegetables exert beneficial effects that can help fight oxidation and its damaging downstream effects. Oxidation plays a major role in the destruction and alteration of cells and cellular components if not kept under control. 3. Oxidation is caused by free radicals that are created endogenously by the body during various bodily functions or are ingested exogenously when consumed as part of the diet. Inefficiencies in dealing with oxidative stress caused by excesses of free radicals of various types can disrupt healthy cellular tissue and organ function. Www.sozolife/Cordia
