Antitoxins convert free radicals into non-toxic substances. Free radicals are formed when the body goes through the functions of metabolism and oxidation. This prevents cells from being destroyed and will help to slow down the aging process. This will also result in healthier looking skin. Antitoxins can also help your body’s immune system and help you fight against a number of diseases and ailments.
There are several foods that can provide us with antitoxins. Many natural foods high in antitoxins are fish, vegetables, and fruits. Some common fruits include prunes, melons, apples, berries, and plums. Some vegetables are also high in antitoxins; common ones are tomatoes, winter vegetables- like cabbage, broccoli, beets, and spinach. Seafood is also a good source of antitoxins. Oils containing antitoxins include; sunflower, safflower, almond oil, and hazelnut.
Foods that contain these vitamins will also have antitoxins. They are B12, Vitamin A, E, C, B6, folic acid, Selenium, and carotene. By eating a natural diet, you can include many of these vitamins and antitoxins.
