We have always known that antioxidants have a powerful effect on the body because  they protect healthy cells from the effects that free radicals can have. Free radicals are molecules produced after food is broken down in the body, environmental pollution, tobacco smoke and radiation. These accumulate in the body, and can in the long run cause serious health problems such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory diseases, etc. In this article, we bring antioxidant juice to relieve arthritis!

What do antioxidants do?

Antioxidants  have the ability to stop the chemical reaction that causes free radicals to destroy healthy cells in the body. Their ingredients reduce the effects of free radicals and inhibit their effects on the body, which is why they are essential in preventing a wide range of serious diseases and common health problems that often afflict people.
