"When you eat whole foods, you're getting all of the nutrients from the food, but you're also benefiting from the nutrients' interaction within the food — an advantage you just can't get from a vitamin pill," says Dr. Arthur Agatston, preventive cardiologist and author of
The South Beach Diet. Here are some delicious antioxidant-packed foods to incorporate into your meal plans:
* Blueberries: A 2005 University of Illinois study found that a number of compounds in blueberries, including pigment-producing anthocyanins, have powerful cancer-preventive powers. Other berries contain similar antioxidants in smaller quantities.
* Pomegranates: These fruits are high in flavonoids, antioxidants also found in red wine and unsweetened cocoa. Recent studies show that pomegranate juice may also help prevent heart disease.
* Tomatoes: A 2002 study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that eating tomato products may reduce prostate cancer risk. The link is so strong that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration now allows tomatoes and tomato-based products, like tomato sauce, to carry a health claim linking tomato consumption with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. The key ingredient is a powerful antioxidant called lycopene, also found in pink grapefruit and guava.
