Question

What body systems are the antioxidants in red foods "good for"?

Answer 1

Antioxidants help protect every cell and  membrane in the body. When you say "red foods" I think beta-carotene, which is especially good for our skin and eyes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotene

Recent research in the news has focused the antioxidant E (found in sweet potatoes) on the heart and vascular system. Lycopene (tomatoes, watermelon) is a particular carotene known to help the prostate gland and heart. It is also deposited in the liver, kidneys, b*****s, skin and lungs.

Answer 2

Your muscles, and heart
