Apples are rich in phenolic compounds called polyphenols. Cutting an apple allows polyphenol oxidase enzymes to rapidly oxidize, turning the apple brown.
Antioxidants do this by slowing or preventing the effect of free radicals, which start oxidation -- a process that causes damage from oxygen that can lead to cell dysfunction. If you've seen a peeled apple turn brown, you've seen oxidation in action.n most cases, all you need to fulfill your body's quota for antioxidants is a healthy and balanced diet. In fact, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor before increasing your intake of any supplement. To learn more about antioxidants and skin care, look over the links on the next page.
