Two Ways to Add Antioxidants to Your Diet
By Jeanine Mathis of Health Outlook
If you are looking for ways to quickly add a lot of antioxidants into your diet, in the shortest amount of time possible, there are two quick ways to do this. First, make an antioxidant-rich soup. A few of my favorites include butternut squash soup, pumpkin soup, vegetable lentil soup, vegetable barley soup, and minestrone soup. A soup is basically a pot full of your healthiest, richest antioxidant foods, and soups are considered to be comfort food because they remind you of home. Who doesn't like to curl up on a rainy, cold day with a big, hot bowl of soup? And it always tastes better when you or someone you love made it! Even someone with the most basic cooking skills can make an easy, healthful soup. Make a list of your favorite vegetables high in antioxidants and buy some low-sodium chicken stock. Put the two together and you're all set. Add a few staples such as lentils, beans, barley, tomato paste, brown rice, or whole wheat pasta. Take the leftovers with you to work and see how many people are impressed that you made some homemade soup. Second, make an antioxidant-rich salad. Salads are another way to add as many vegetables and fruits as possible, giving you a powerhouse, antioxidant punch. Start with spinach or your favorite leafy green and add carrots, bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli sprouts, green onions, avocado, cabbage, and fresh herbs. You can even add a handful of nuts or seeds, which add flavor and nutrients. Throw in some raisins or dried fruit and you will have the best salad you ever made. Adding avocado or a high fat salad dressing will help your body to absorb the antioxidants in your salad. So, now you have it. You know two ways that you can add a ton of antioxidants into your daily diet. Eat some comfort food and enjoy better health.
