3. Making Good Food Choices
Now that you realize that you are likely not eating enough antioxidants each day, you may be wondering how you can get enough of these important antioxidants into your body. It all comes to making good food choices. For example, perhaps you eat a banana each day.
A single banana has about 1000 millimoles of antioxidants. If you switch to eating a serving of blueberries instead, you would be getting 8000 millimoles of antioxidants in that serving. This simple switch can help you reach your goal of antioxidants per day. If you are on an 1800 calorie diet, a serving of blueberries can help you counteract digestion. However, it is best to eat antioxidant rich foods throughout the day instead of just once per day. The reason for this is because there are other factors such as stress and the environment that cause free radicals to form as well.
