2 | 5   Fruit: Antioxidants in fresh fruits help your body fight off free radicals that can cause damage to your body’s cells. Berries in particular are an excellent source of antioxidants.

3 | 5   Nuts: Nuts like walnuts and almonds are also high in omega-3 fatty acids and are a great snack to munch on between meals. Just be mindful of your portion sizes.

4 | 5   Leafy vegetables: Dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, swiss chard and bok choy are packed with vitamins that have been shown to help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals in the body.

To unlock the best of what they have to offer, lightly steam them and enjoy!

5 | 5   Healthy oils: Olive, grapeseed and avocado are some of the best to cook with, but also be mindful of the temperature you’re cooking at and whether or not your chosen oil should be heated that high.
