Antioxidants: Top 10 Healthy Foods

 Do you know which foods have the highest concentration of antioxidants, the natural chemicals in food that make it healthy and prevent disease?  Here, the best 10 foods to eat.

Blackberries

One cup of blackberries contains the most antioxidants of all the berries tested, beating out blueberries, strawberries, cranberries, and raspberries. Plus, one cupful provides half your daily recommended intake of vitamin C.

Walnuts

Just an ounce of walnuts, or 15 to 20 halves, is loaded with antioxidants. They're also cholesterol-free and low in sodium and sugar. Nuts are laden with calories, though, so be mindful of your intake.

Strawberries

Bursting with fiber and vitamin C (149 percent of your daily recommended intake!), a cup of sliced strawberries is a cup full of healthy benefits.

 Artichoke Hearts

Cranberries

One cup of whole cranberries is full of disease-fighting and health-boosting antioxidants.

Raspberries

Another super-health berry to add to your diet. One cup is loaded with vitamin C (54 percent of your daily recommended intake) and antioxidants.
