Do you know that eating fruit and vegetables will help protect you from unwanted diseases and help prolong your life?

Haven’t you heard that an Apple 🍎 a day keeps the doctors👨‍⚕️ away💁‍♀️

During the panic buying at the pick of Covid-19, in many stores, wipes and sanitizers were all out, but the fruit and vegetable spot were almost untouched!

Apparently, so many people were sanitizing the outside without fortifying their inside!

Do not neglect your great defense (Your immune system)

Do you know that some fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants?

Antioxidants are compounds that help defend your cells from free radicals, they inhibit oxidation, which is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals that are harmful to your cells

Free radicals are molecules produced in the body as cells generates energy during their functions.

They are byproduct of metabolism and can also be released due to smoking or radiation

Free radicals, when released, reacts with other molecules in the body, putting your cells under stress, breaking them down and causing several health challenges including cancer, this stress is known as oxidation stress.

What antioxidants does for you is to protect your cells from going through the stress from the free radical’s activities.
