RED BEANS
"All
beans are healthy, but brightly colored beans pack the biggest [health]
benefit," says Ruggiero. "Research shows the antioxidants in beans
may protect you from heart disease and cancer."
BLUEBERRIES
"Blueberries are rich in a
natural plant chemical called anthocyanin, which gives these berries their
namesake color. Blueberries may help protect our vision, lower blood-sugar
levels, and keep our mind sharp, improving memory and cognition."
CRANBERRIES
Like blueberries, "these
sweet-tart berries get their color from anthocyanins, which also play a role in
lowering inflammation and strengthening immune support. There's research that
shows cranberries may help fight certain types of cancer and heart disease."
ARTICHOKE HEARTS
"This fiber- and
antioxidant-rich veggie is simple to prepare and offers lots of benefits,
including the ability to fight heart disease and tackle high cholesterol
levels."
BLACKBERRIES
"In scientific studies,
these glossy little berries have been shown to protect the brain, potentially
lowering the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Blackberries may also
help fight colon cancer."
PRUNES
"Prunes, also known as
dried plums, are powerful sources of antioxidants."
RASPBERRIES
"Raspberries are tiny but
mighty, having the potential to fight heart disease and certain types of
cancers and boost immunity."
