That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The body needs a regular supply of vitamins and minerals to reduce free-radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause damage to cells and contribute to the development of chronic diseases. Vitamins and minerals act as antioxidants, which neutralize free radicals and protect the body from their harmful effects. Therefore, a regular intake of vitamins and minerals is necessary to maintain overall health and prevent oxidative stress.
