Antioxidants
An important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle is eating foods that are rich in antioxidants.
Antioxidants help to neutralise free radicals – reactive compounds produced by the body, and ingested through external sources such as cigarette smoke, pollutants and ultraviolet light.
Free radicals, if not inactivated by antioxidants, can damage DNA in cells.
Wholegrains, such as BARLEYmax®, are a vital source of antioxidants, containing a higher antioxidant capacity than many fruits or vegetables.
