You’ve probably heard that you should be incorporating more  antioxidants  into your diet, but what exactly are antioxidants and where can you find them? Antioxidant  basics Antioxidants are substances that help protect our bodies from “free radicals” or unstable molecules capable of doing damage to our cells. Free radicals are formed during normal bodily processes like eating and exercising, or when we’re exposed to toxins like pollution or cigarette smoke. Antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals and decrease the potential damage they might cause to our cells (also known as oxidative stress). To put it another way, free radicals are the “bad” guys, and antioxidants are the “good” guys, swooping in to keep these culprits from destroying the place.   Where do  antioxidants  come from?  The best source of antioxidants is food, especially richly colored fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

     According to Ayurveda, one of the keys to maintaining health is to practice ritucharya—seasonal routines.

Spring is ruled by the kapha dosha , whose qualities are heavy, cool, soft, dense, stable, solid, and cloudy. To adjust for the season , consider the following practices: Wake with the sunrise .

In the winter months, we naturally gravitate to...
