10 Ways To Get More Antioxidants Into Your Diet
It’s no secret that antioxidants are incredibly beneficial to good health. It’s believed
the antioxidants in food can help prevent cancer, reverse or slow aging, enhance
your immune system, increase your energy and improve heart and other organ
health.
Given all we know about antioxidants and their beneficial properties, it’s amazing
more people don’t get enough fruits and vegetables, the primary sources of
antioxidants. Experts recommend a minimum of 5 servings of fruits and
vegetables daily, but say getting 7-10 servings is best.
There are 10 steps to getting more antioxidants into your diet.
1.Breakfast
Breakfast doesn’t have to be a hurried toast on the way out the door. Throw
some strawberries, 100% juice and yogurt into a blender; pour your delicious
mixture into a cup and head out the door. You’ve just added one to three servings
of fruits to your daily intake. Or throw some berries onto your cold or hot cereal.
Say you truly have no time in the morning and usually grab something on the run.
Even most coffee shops can be of some help here. Order some fruit, yogurt
and some apple slices. For a few quid, you have a breakfast providing one to two
servings of fruit.

2.Snacks
Here’s an easy way to get more antioxidants in your diet. How about a handful of
raisins for a snack, or some fresh red grapes? Dip some strawberries in yogurt.
You’ll feel decadent, but the berries provide the colour you’re looking for. Need
crunch? How about some baby carrots dipped in hummus? Consider a handful of
pecans for crunch and a nice antioxidant boost.
