Why is it important for us to eat fruits and vegetables that contain antioxidants? Because our bodies do not produce antioxidants. And we need antioxidants to fight off free radicals. Free radicals are bad. They make us old, rigid, tight, frail, dry and sick. Nature created plants to look appealing for us to eat. So we do or should I say did eat these natural whole foods before the market place has become saturated with poisonous, harmful processed foods. We do not eat nearly enough fruits, vegetables and grains to combat sickness from free radicals as we should. But the great thing is, is that it is not to late. So let us use nature's resources and let the natural occurring medicines in plants to prevent illness before it happens by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and let's stop eating all of the processed foods that are out there. They ain't good noway nohow.
