“according to scientists, pomegranates have about three times the antioxidant levels of red wine and green tea, which are both renowned for their health benefits”

Antioxidants are the naturally occuring substances in plants that protect the body from harmful free radicals. Produced by the body when cells use oxygen, free radicals can cause heart disease as well as premature ageing.

So, it’s in our best interest to get as many antioxidants into our bodies as possible especially after training to mop up all the damage.

But, before you crack open that bottle of red wine quoting me as a lame excuse for getting pissed – here’s a list of my top antioxidant foods (and red wine’s not one of ‘em!):

Berries
Broccoli
Pomegrante
Tomatoes
Red grapes
Garlic
Spinach
Green tea
