Foods loaded with antioxidants
Almonds - plain with no salt Apples - try to find organic ones Beans - especially black and dark red Berries – blueberries and strawberries are my favorites Broccoli – steamed or roasted is delicious and nutritious Carrots - eat them raw in salads or cooked as a side dish Grapes - red and dark purple Green and red peppers - try them in fajitas Oranges - the easy peel, no seed variety is a fun snack Raisins - eat by the handful Sweet Potatoes - eat instead of white potatoes Tea, green or black - drink several cups a day Tomatoes - very versatile raw or cooked Walnuts - sprinkle on cereal and yogurt Yogurt - Greek yogurt has more protein than regular Processed foods and additives to avoid
