Blueberries
Blueberries
are rich in antioxidants, which help fight cancer and prevent macular
degeneration. Like cranberries, they contain compounds that can protect against
urinary tract infections.
Apples
Eat
the skin for a high dose of fiber -- both soluble (the type that helps lower
cholesterol) and insoluble (it keeps you regular). In addition to meeting 15
percent of your daily fiber needs, an apple is crammed with antioxidants.
Bananas
High
in potassium and low in sodium, bananas help lower your risk of high blood
pressure and stroke. Bonus: Protease inhibitors that can prevent stomach
ulcers.
Red & Purple Grapes
Red
wine isn't the only source of resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that could
help fight heart disease. You get nearly as much resveratrol in a cup of
dark-colored grapes as you do in a five-ounce glass of merlot.
Kiwis
Ounce
for ounce, kiwis contain more than twice as much vitamin C as oranges, plus
they may lower the risk of cataracts and could even protect DNA from damage.
Oranges
A
single orange gives you almost a full day's vitamin C, plus potassium. The
opaque membrane around each wedge has hesperidin, which may lower cholesterol.
Even the scent is calming, according to research.
Papayas
These contain papain,
a substance that helps improve your digestion. Papayas also provide a lot of
vitamin C and are a good source of folate.
Strawberries
A
daily handful helps control type 2 diabetes and stave off heart disease and
inflammation. Strawberries are also an excellent source of vitamin C and other
antioxidants.
