3. Raspberries
One of the top berries that you can eat if you are looking to add some antioxidants to your diet is raspberries. Raspberries have an extremely high amount of anthocyanins and phenols. Each of these antioxidants is known for its anti-cancer benefits. In addition, these antioxidants have anti-inflammatory properties. If you are suffering from excessive heartburn or have other issues associated with inflammation, it is a good idea to add some raspberries to your diet as they can help with these symptoms.
When purchasing raspberries it is best to choose organic berries. The chemicals and pesticides that are often used on non-organic raspberries can actually negate or counteract the antioxidant content of the berries as they will introduce free radicals into the body. This is exactly what you are trying to avoid, which is why it is important to choose organically and if possible locally grown berries that have not been sprayed or altered with chemicals of any kind.
