Eat the rainbow!
Want to get a meal time antioxidant hit that tastes as good as it looks?
Red Guava, watermelon, tomatoes, red grapefruit and red capsicum contain lycopene, which protects white blood cells so your body can fight infections.
Orange Apricots, papaya, pumpkin, carrots and oranges all contain carotenoids. This ingredient aids cell function by mopping up the toxins.
Green Broccoli, bok choy, lettuce, cabbage and spinach are packed with phytochemicals, lutein and folate. These antioxidants scoot around your body healing damaged cells. You could even say they’re your body’s mini medical team!
Purple Eggplants, prunes, figs and blueberries are loaded with more lutein and zeaxanthin which will help relax your blood vessels and make it easier on your heart.
White or Yellow Onions, potatoes and bananas contain potassium, an anti-inflammatory that’ll help you say goodbye to pesky aches and pains.
