We all want healthy bodies; bodies where everything functions smoothly, but having a healthy body depends on a balance between a good healthy diet and depends on a delicate balance between substances known as anti-oxidants and free radicals. Many get confused when it comes to these terms but simply stated : when free radicals get the upper hand the results can be disastrous. Free radicals actually cause in our bodies which is known as oxidation. Oxidation is actually linked to the development of arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic conditions.

It is interesting because on one hand anti oxidants do harm and on the other hand, anti-oxidants do a lot of good in our bodies. They react chemically with these free radicals and render them harmless. There has been a lot of study recently where the syudy is based around healthy diets. Normally these are rich in brightly coloured plants such as red peppers, oranges and broccoli. We now have lots of data and reseach which tells us how there is is a major link between diet and arthritis as eating various kinds of fruits and vegetables can be beneficial to health.
