DESCRIPTION: Those eating a more plant-based diet may naturally have an enhanced antioxidant defense system to counter the DNA damage caused by free radicals produced by high-intensity exercise.

This video is the third of a 3-part series on enhancing athletic recovery times. Check out the first two if you're interested: Reducing Muscle Fatigue with Citrus (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reduc...) and Reducing Muscle Soreness with Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reduc....
