11 Pipers Piping...

This one refers to the 11 faithful disciples. This made me think of antioxidants as these are truly faithful disciples in our diet as they mop up free radicals preventing the oxidative damage associated with chronic disease from cancer to heart disease to dementia. Science is quite clear that we need the best variety of these to maintain optimal health and prevent those diseases of the modern age. We can experience free radical damage from poor diet, taking medications, chemicals, toxic working
environments, cleaning fluids, cosmetics and more. Antioxidants protect us from the effects of this at cellular level. Some of the best antioxidant foods to include as your 11 disciples are......

• berries especially blueberries (wild if you can get them)
• dark chocolate
• pecans
• kidney beans
• goji berries
• elderberries
• kidney beans
• cranberries
• pomegranates
• artichokes
• pinto beans

Don't forget antioxidant rich herbs:

• garlic
• oregano
• cinnamon
• ginger
• cloves
• cocoa
• turmeric
