Antioxidants

Antioxidants ~ Chemically Yours

Have you enjoyed reading this or are you feeling bored reading?

Whatever might be the situation, you have to acknowledge that antioxidants are a vital gift of nature to prevent some of the damages caused by free radicals. While writing this article, I was reminded of two famous quotes.
One of them is Albert Einstein’s…

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

and the other one is Voltaire’s…

The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.

So, to rephrase a famous saying, we can conclude that a family of antioxidants is one of nature’s masterpieces.
