NSMC Nutrition Counseling August 2019 Meet Nutritionist ​Julia HincemanFrancavilla M.S., R.D., C.S.O., L.D.N.
​Antioxidants Are Our Protectors! Antioxidants are substances that can prevent damage to cells in your body. Damage to your cells can be caused by free radicals like x-rays, ultraviolet (UV) light, ozone, cigarette smoke, air pollution, certain drugs and pesticides. When too many free radicals build up in your system this results in oxidative stress, inflammation, and also makes your body more susceptible to heart disease, cancer and the adverse affects of aging.
Julia specializes in oncology nutrition and adult weight management and has over 10 years of experience. She combines her passion for cooking with her love of outdoor exercise, and draws on both as she helps patients make realistic nutrition decisions that will help increase their energy, mood and overall health.
Antioxidants are also called the "free radical police" because they protect our cells. A diet full of antioxidant-rich whole foods can minimize the harmful effects of free radicals and slow the disease process.
Detox Benefits! While a "detox diet" may sound trendy, detoxification is actually a process that changes free radicals into substances that the body can eliminate, thereby minimizing oxidative stress and cell damage. Simply put, eat a variety of seasonal plant-based foods (choose organic when possible) in a rainbow of colors.
