Solar UVA and UVB rays can cause free radical formation, harming cells and body function. Accumulated over time, free radical damage leads to inflammation and cellular aging: skin issues (dark spots, wrinkles), infections, arthritis, heart disease, stroke, immune deficiency, and cancers. Fruits and vegetables provide an assortment of antioxidants, which provide powerful protection against those free radicals. Aim for 5 – 8 servings per day and a variety of colours (think about “eating the rainbow”: red, orange, yellow, green, purple/blue). Both fresh and frozen fruits and veggies will do the trick!
