Antioxidants are cells found in Vegetables like Tomatoes and Brocoli and what they do is when orally taken by a human help to neutralise free radicals in the body. Free radicals are harmful entities in the body that rage around colliding into the healthy cells in the body and cause degeneration of the cells which in turn cause ageing which makes a human grow old and elderly. Oxygen also causes free radicals to rage even more and cause damage.

What is an deadly disease that harms the liver and is usually caused by alcohol abuse?
- It is Cirrhosis of the liver (but, one can have this disease without being an alcoholic.) Also a person can live with one third of their liver because the liver rejuvenates itself. The liver, the largest organ in the body, is essential in keeping the body functioning properly. It removes or neutralizes poisons from the blood, produces immune agents to control infection, and removes germs and bacteria from the blood. It makes proteins that regulate blood clotting and produces bile to help absorb fats and fat-soluble vitamins. You cannot live without a functioning liver. In cirrhosis of the liver, scar tissue replaces normal, healthy tissue, blocking the flow of blood through the organ and preventing it from working as it should. Cirrhosis is the twelfth leading cause of death by disease, killing about 26,000 people each year. Also, the cost of cirrhosis in terms of human suffering, hospital costs, and lost productivity is high.
Livor mortis is the settling of blood in the lowest portion of the body causing a purple color in the skin; "livor" is Latin for 'bluish color' and "mortis" is Latin for 'of death'

Why does kidney and liver failure often cause severe swelling and bloating?
Kidneys and the liver filter waste liquids from the body. If the body doesn't eliminate these from the blood stream thru urination then the body's blood supply will become toxic. If the kidneys and liver are not working or not working to a minimum proficiency than the body can not remove the waste and will die. With kidney failure, a mechanical solution exists in the form of an artificial kidney to remove the waste, it is called dialysis. Dialysis can be performed at home or at a medical site. An artificial liver does not exist and only a liver transplant must be preformed to save the body. Kidneys can also be transplanted!
