#Blog 7 - 4 easy ways to get more antioxidants during menopause with diet
It’s no secret that antioxidants are incredibly beneficial to good health. It’s believed the antioxidants in food can help prevent cancer, reverse or slow aging, enhance your immune system, increase your energy and improve heart and other organ health.
Given all we know about antioxidants and their beneficial properties, it’s amazing more people don’t get enough fruits and vegetables, the primary sources of antioxidants.
Experts recommend a minimum of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, but say getting 7-10 servings is best.
Here are my 4 steps to getting more antioxidants into your diet:
1.Breakfast
Breakfast doesn’t have to be a hurried breakfast bar on the way out the door. Throw some strawberries, 100% juice and yogurt into a blender; pour your delicious mixture into a cup and head out the door. You’ve just added one to three servings of fruits to your daily intake. Or perhaps throw some berries onto your cold or hot cereal.
Say you truly have no time in the morning and usually grab something on the run. Even the Golden Arches can be of some help here. Order a fruit and yogurt parfait and some apple slices. For about couple of pounds or dollars you have a breakfast providing one to two servings of fruit.
2.Snacks
Here’s an easy way to get more antioxidants in your diet. How about a handful of raisins for a snack, or some fresh red grapes? Dip some strawberries in yogurt. You’ll feel decadent, but the berries provide the colour you’re looking for.
If you need a crunch, how about some baby carrots dipped in hummus? Yum, I love hummus.
Or perhaps consider a handful of pecans for crunch and a nice antioxidant boost.
3.Lunch and dinner
It might sound repetitive, but adding a salad to each of your main daily meals can add loads to your overall health and well-being.
They don’t have to be boring, and they don’t have to be just salad greens.
If you’re going classic, add some red pepper slices to your green salad, some tomatoes to the Greek salad, or tart cranberries to your greens.
Whip up a broccoli salad for lunch, or be adventurous and mix up a rice salad with a mélange of fresh vegetables like string beans, tomatoes, peppers and red onions, whatever takes your fancy.
4.Dessert
Berries, with or without whipped cream or chocolate are a wonderful way to end your day of healthy, antioxidant-rich eating. You can of course once again add plain Greek yogurt.
So why not give it a try what have you got to lose?
