Chemar Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 efgh foods that are (naturally)orange are generally high in beta-carotene which is one of the very best antioxidants... gotta get kids off to school so will post more for you later
Chemar Posted May 4, 2004 Report Posted May 4, 2004 efgh my reference lists the following as the "Top Ten" antioxidants Berries Broccoli Tomatoes Red grapes Garlic Spinach Tea Carrots Soy Whole grains also mentioned are oranges peas cauliflower peppers The key is to focus on eating those fruits and vegetables that have rich hues of color. These are high in what are known as phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are nutrients concentrated in the skins of many vegetables and fruits, and are responsible for not just their color, but scent, and flavor as well. Phytonutrients are the best antioxidant foods that exist in nature. In short, the rule of thumb to follow is: the deeper and richer the color of the fruit or vegetable, the more phytonutrients that are present in it.
