Choose food with natural antioxidants
Choosing foods that contain large amounts of natural antioxidant properties is essential to getting the most health benefit while staying within necessary caloric ranges. A common rule of thumb to keep in mind is that vegetables that are darkest in color are typically higher in natural antioxidants than lighter colored vegetables. Although this is by no means a definitive rule, it is a good guideline to use when shopping for produce at the supermarket or farmers market.
Natural antioxidant fruits and berries
The
best fruits to chose, on the other hand, are berries and citrus
fruits, which are high in vitamins and other nutrients as well.
Blackberries are perhaps the best choice for picky eaters as they
can be eaten alone or even made into a dessert. Getting natural
antioxidant properties from a dessert is a wonderful way to improve
your health while satisfying your sweet tooth. Many people are surprised
to learn that many of the foods that they already love have health
benefits as well. Dark chocolate for example is known to contain
natural antioxidant properties, although it is still important not
to overindulge.

Many herbs and spices have antioxidant properties
By adding herbs and spices to suit your tastes, you can tailor
almost any recipe to be a healthy and delicious dish. Stir fry is
a simple and popular method of cooking vegetables, meats, and spices
together to commingle the flavors, creating a dish that is more
flavorful than any of its ingredients would be on their own. Simply
start with something basic that you already know you enjoy, such
as chicken, and add vegetables like broccoli that compliment the
base flavor without overpowering it. Even the staunchest vegetable
hater can learn to love foods rich in natural antioxidants by experimenting
with things like stir fry and other cooking methods.
