3 Antioxidant Rich Superfoods
Here is a list of 3 superfoods that are rich in antioxidants:
* Beans. Beans that contain the most antioxidants
are small red beans, red kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans. Small red beans were actually found to be the best antioxidant source of any food!
* Fresh fruits. Apples are rich in antioxidants but so are blueberries, cranberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, and plums. These are all tasty ways to get your antioxidants. For apples, choose red delicious, granny smith, and gala apples. They have more antioxidants than other varieties.
* Artichoke. While some people cringe at the thought of eating an artichoke heart, they might be more inclined to chow down when they find out they’re one of the top ten best sources of antioxidants.
If you don’t eat enough of these foods, then consider getting antioxidants from supplements. Look at the bottle labels before you buy; supplements need to come from natural sources, not be artificially manufactured. That way you’ll get the best benefit for your money. The best supplements for antioxidant properties are: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, selenium, carotenes, copper, and zinc.
Instead of buying 6 different individual supplements, you can consider looking for a multivitamin that contains all these vitamins and minerals. Some studies also show that a combination pill is a safer and more effective delivery system for antioxidants.
