Hey! This is how antioxidants were explained to me. I work in skin care so it's an issue. If you cut an apple and leave it on the counter than it turns brown, right? That's oxidation. If you put lemon juice on it than it remains white. That's because the lemon juice is acting like an antioxidant.
The cells in our
body act the same way. They can become damaged when exposed to the environment. Some attribute cancer and other diseases to this. Consuming anti-oxidants helps to prevent this damage.
It is the tannins in green tea that are thought to help with flushing out
fat and increasing metabolism.
Anyway. Cannon, you are doing great so far. Set small goals with the exercise. We know you can do it!
