  of free radicals and antioxidants in our bodies
  at all times. These are necessary for the
  different functions on a cellular level. Free
  radicals are a byproduct of cellular reactions
  and are used for detoxification and to destroy
  damaged cells, viruses and unwanted bacteria. Our
  bodies produce a number of antioxidants to help
  stabilize and control the free radicals, but we
  need to consume foods high in antioxidants to
  maintain the correct balance. One of the best
  ways to do this is having drinks with lots of
  antioxidants.
