Newton Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is offering free antioxidant scans throughout the month of June. The scans give people a way to determine the effectiveness of their diet and supplements in boosting antioxidant levels. “The importance of antioxidants in preventing disease is something that everyone should be aware of,” says Dr. Julie Burke, of Newton Chiropractic and Wellness. “They prevent free-radical damage, and the problem of free-radical damage is a particular concern in our hectic city and suburban lifestyles.”

Burke says that many people take supplements in an effort to compensate for poor nutrition and counteract environmental toxins in the air, water and food supply. “The question remains, how effective are these measures in combating free-radical damage?” she notes. “Our goal is to help people become aware of their antioxidant levels so they can make the necessary lifestyle changes to correct a bad score or reinforce a good one.” Burke says the antioxidant levels are measured in a simple, non-invasive way with a state-of-the-art biophotonic scanner.
