In our environment, constant oxidation is taking place. It is natural! Just watch how the avocado gradually turns brown when you open it. It is a form of oxidation. So what happens when you put some lemon juice on the avocado? Yes, you add an antioxidant and the oxidant ion stops or ceases temporarily. When oxidation occurs on our cells, during an infection or when we are exposed to environmental toxins, for example, damage can occur and then it is a fantastic tool to be able to use Antioxidants.
