Blueberries
These tasty, full-of-fiber fruits contain polyphenols, specifically
anthocyanins, which give the fruit its blue hue, and the major
contributors to antioxidant activity. If you can only eat one fruit,
eat blueberries. And they’re just as good fresh as thy are frozen.
Sunflower seeds
Speaking of fat-soluble antioxidants, sunflower seeds are a source of
vitamin E, which travels throughout the body neutralizing free
radicals. Eat more sunflower seeds to enjoy the anti-inflammatory
effects of this important antioxidant.
Avocado
Avocados include 20 essential nutrients, including folic acid,
potassium, vitamin E and the essential B-vitamins. Plus they taste
delicious on everything from salads to sandwiches to tacos to
enchiladas. They also aid digestion of fat-soluble nutrients and they
are source of healthy fats.
Kale
Did you know that researchers have found over 45 flavonoids in kale?
Say goodbye to oxidative stress by adding kale to your morning
smoothie or piling a kale salad high with yummy colorful veggies.
Carrots
The carotenoids in carrots are an amazing source of vitamin A. Eat
them on your Kale salad with blueberries, avocado and sunflower seeds,
and you will win your 30-day challenge without fail!
