POM POM PURPLE

This nutrient rich smoothie packed full of antioxidants is perfect to protect and heal the immune system after your morning run. Help prevent any nasty cold viruses from spreading and boost your metabolism to kick start your day! 

Pomegranates deep red colour signify the fruit's rich supply of antioxidant phytochemicals. Antioxidants counteract cellular damage due to free radicals. 

While researchers are still studying the effects of antioxidants within the human body and haven't yet concluded that these compounds work the same in people as they do in a test tube, the National Cancer Society (USA) asserts that within the testing they've done so far, "antioxidants help prevent the free radical damage that is associated with cancer."

It's impossible to talk of curing disease with antioxidants, but it's clear that foods with antioxidants appear to be sensible preventive medicine.
