Eating lots fresh produce—including both fruits and vegetables—can substantially lower your risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and many other diseases. And if you have a chronic health issue like high blood pressure or diabetes, regular consumption of green, red, blue, orange, and purple produce can help you reverse the condition.
The best way to approach produce is to eat as many different kinds as often as possible. Below are the top twenty pieces of produce that pack the most antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent and slow down oxidative damage to our body—a chemical reaction you want to avoid as much as possible. Why? When our body cells use oxygen, they produce free radicals that can cause damage to our internal organs. Antioxidants act as free-radical scavengers and snuff them out, preventing and repairing damage done by these evil-little free radicals. Health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, macular degeneration, and cancer are all linked to the oxidation process and free radicals.
Try a different piece of produce each week. We promise you’ll never get bored and you’ll be getting a ton of nutrients that stabilize your blood sugar and fight off a host of long term diseases. Here are our top twenty, life-saving, fruit and vegetable picks.
