Blueberries

These tasty, full-of-fiber fruits contain polyphenols, specifically anthocyanins, which give the fruit its blue hue, and the major contributors to antioxidant activity.  If you can only eat one fruit, eat blueberries.  And they’re just as good fresh as thy are frozen.

Sunflower seeds

Speaking of fat-soluble antioxidants, sunflower seeds are a source of vitamin E, which travels throughout the body neutralizing free radicals.  Eat more sunflower seeds to enjoy the anti-inflammatory effects of this important antioxidant.

Avocado

Avocados include 20 essential nutrients, including folic acid, potassium, vitamin E and the essential B-vitamins.  Plus they taste delicious on everything from salads to sandwiches to tacos to enchiladas.  They also aid digestion of fat-soluble nutrients and they are source of healthy fats.

Kale

Did you know that researchers have found over 45 flavonoids in kale?  Say goodbye to oxidative stress by adding kale to your morning  smoothie or piling a kale salad high with yummy colorful veggies.

Carrots

The carotenoids in carrots are an amazing source of vitamin A.  Eat them on your Kale salad with blueberries, avocado and sunflower seeds, and you will win your 30-day challenge without fail!
