Exposure to free radicals damage the cells in your body and is referred to as oxidative stress. A way to combat the unhealthy effects of oxidative stress is a high anti-oxidant diet which neutralizes nasty free radicals in the system. High levels of anti-oxidants are found in a variety of fruit and vegetables some much more than others. Embarking on such a diet is the first step in detox and living healthier.

The health benefits of a good detox diet will naturally aid the body to flush out the harmful toxins and poisons, which cause weight gain, poor skin, diseases and bad bacteria.

To begin detoxing, drink plenty of mineral water each day and embark on a high antioxidant diet. This does not mean dramatically changing your diet to eating loads of fruit and veg, but you can purchase a superfood supplement such as acai berry, a tropical fruit of the Amazonian Rainforest. Acai berry is classed as a '#1 superfood' because of its extremely high anti-oxidant levels and multiple health benefits. Among the benefits of consumption of the fruit are:
