Antioxidant Foods

The more the better! You can never have “too many”.

Ideally, a natural and healthy diet could be comprised of only antioxidant rich whole foods. That is because many fruits and vegetables, berries, sprouts, nuts and seeds, are naturally high in antioxidants.

Browse some of the most excellent books on diet below. These authors have inspired me on my natural health journey.

Every time you make a processed food choice, you can be sure it does not contain antioxidants.

Sugar, as well as acid-forming foods, interfere with the body's ability to absorb antioxidant foods. And in overcooked foods, the amount of antioxidants is greatly reduced.

If you start consciously incorporating more healthy whole foods in your diet, try to consume them in their raw form, or lightly steamed.

These days, it is increasingly important to consume these kinds of foods, considering the abundance of other factors that cause free radical damage.

I am talking about stress, smoking, environmental toxins (even the ones in your food), exercise, and even what you put on your skin – which gets into your bloodstream.

Your diet is the variable you are most in control of. Eating a diet appropriately high in antioxidants will give you energy, radiance, longevity, and help keep your body free of disease.

But a healthy attitude is key too! The wonderful thing is that clearing your body and giving it what it needs will help clear your mind too. It will improve all areas of your life.
