Health Lesson: Antioxidants are substances that protect your cells from the negative effects of Free radicals. Free Radicals are unstable molecules that are created when food is broken down. These molecules are missing an electron and "attach" themselves to your cells to gain said electron.

 

Eating more fruits and vegetables in your diet will improve your health and better your immune system. Although some foods have more antioxidants than others, any amount is beneficial to your health. Two main antioxidants are Vitamins C and E and can be found in colorful fruits and vegetables- like those in red, blue, purple, and yellow.

Examples of antioxidant rich foods:

  Vitamin C   

Oranges, Papaya, Kiwi, Mangoes, Strwaberries, Plums, Carrots, Red Bell Peppers

   

  Vitamin E

 Carrots, Broccoli, Nuts, Pumpkins, Red Peppers
