Doctor Oz discussed antioxidants again today and shared several foods and food combinations that will stop free radicals in their tracks and put an end to DNA damage from environmental pollutants, toxins, and chemicals that people are exposed to daily.

Many people have no idea what foods contain antioxidants and what free radicals are in the first place. Suffice it to say that in our industrialized society, we are subjected to toxic substances and need to protect our cells and DNA from serious damage. It’s not a choice, it’s a necessity.

I’ve always liked SOD the best and still do to this day, but it’s expensive. You can consume any of the whole foods that Dr. Oz pointed out and be in fairly good shape as long as you watch your Lifestyle choices along the way.

Dark leafy greens, vibrant fruits and vegetables, cruciferous veggies, and specific herbs and spices contain antioxidants. You can get several servings a day from the different groups and feel more confident that you are protecting your DNA.

Carrots, brussel sprouts, tomatoes, avocado, and so many other foods are going to give you the nutrients needed to prevent damage and keep your cells healthy.

Here is more information from the Dr. Oz website:

Dr. Oz and Antioxidants

We also recommend NutriArmour products and several other nutritional supplements that do a fine job of managing free radicals in your body. You can do both whole foods and supplements to be certain you are doing enough to prevent aging and irreparable damage to your DNA.

I think that Oz was surprised to hear his expert say that eating organic fruits and vegetables was better than regular produce. The expert is correct. Go Organic! It’s going to make a world of difference.
