This fruit is packed full of antioxidants and are believed to have one of the highest antioxidant levels of all common fruits and vegetables!

Oily Fish

Whether it’s salmon, tuna, mackerel or sardines, oily fish is a must! They are a fantastic source of protein and omega-3, which is important for brain function and cardiovascular health. They also have a good content of vitamin D and antioxidants.
