New York, December 27 (Reuters Medical News), according to Finnish scientists in January next year, the journal Epidemiology, published reports, tea, wine, fruit and vegetables can reduce the number of anti-oxidants male non-fatal heart attack risk However, these compounds for the fatal heart attack, and there is no protection.Antioxidants are food that can resist the role of free radical compounds. Free radicals are naturally occurring body particles, and the occurrence of chronic diseases and aging.
