Antioxidant Foods – Even In Winter

Posted November 20th, 2008 by Chris

Hi Guys,

It’s Winter now, even in Florida, would you believe we have been down in the 40’s a couple nights recently.

Anyway, no matter what season of the year we still must be aware of consuming enough antioxidants to maintain our health.

Here is a list of 7 antioxidant foods that are available, even if only in canned form, during the Winter months;

1. Artichoke Hearts – also good for your liver, low in calories ( must watch these especially in the winter months when we are usually a little less physically active), also high in vitamins and minerals

2. Beans – high in antioxidants as well as fiber and protein

3. Cranberries – full of antioxidants, immune-boosters and may also prevent diseases such as heart disease as well as cancer

4. Pecans – naturally sweet so may curb your sugar cravings also

5. Prunes – good against cholesterol as well as fighting free radicals

6. Red Delicious or Granny Smith Apples – eat the skin too

7. Cloves – also known to have anti-inflammatory qualities

Be sure to include as many of these foods in your diet, especially your Winter diet to maintain your good health.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season,
Chris
