Power foods

I came across this article from Shape magazine that talks about five types of food everyone should be eating to live longer, more helthful lives. The reason is usually antioxidants, those compounds that are said to fight other compounds in the body that cause deterioration and damage to cells.

So what are these power foods?

1. berries
2. low-fat, plain yogurt
3. green leafy vegetables
4. bright orange vegetables
5. whole grains

You can read the article to find all the details about why these are great foods. Did you notice there’s only one animal product on the list and meat is nowhere to be found? There’s a reason for that…
