Health Benefits of Antioxidants

At Goodwin's Organics, we like to stress out about the importance of having antioxidant rich foods in our diet.

Antioxidants are naturally occurring and can be found in all fruits, vegetables and whole grains. There are many health benefits of having a high concentration of antioxidants such as: 

Reducing inflammation, Lowering the risk for developing heart disease, Lowering the risk for developing Cancer, a strong immune system and more.

We recommend having the “5-a-day” recommended amount when it comes to of fruits and vegetables. You will not only get the amount of antioxidant that you should be getting, but you will also have increased intake of other important vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and Vitamin E.

When it comes to antioxidants, they work in a rather unique way. The body is filled with “free radicals” which are unstable molecules in the cells. These free radicals can ultimately damage the genetic-blue print or DNA of the cell structure. This causes mistakes in the cells makeup. Antioxidants with their powerful chemistry help naturalize those free radicals in the body.

We believe that the best way to get antioxidants is to Buy Organic local produce and Organic fruit and organic vegetable products. When it's organic, you are generally reaping up to 30% more nutrients and antioxidants than their commercially grown foods, which overuses pesticides and other chemicals during farming.
