No need to memorize an exhaustive list of foods to learn which ones are good sources of antioxidants. In this video, diet and disease prevention specialist Dr. William Li reveals a simple trick for identifying antioxidant-rich foods.
So, antioxidants are actually found in many different types of foods. But the best way actually to look for the foods, is to look for color. Mother nature's made many of these antioxidants pigments and they actually help to protect the plants and they light them up in terms of color so when we hear about when we go into a grocery store and we're looking for antioxidants containing foods, look for the rainbow.
Look for the reds, the greens, the oranges, the yellows, and so almost anything you can apply in the product store that fits in the color of the rainbow probably has some really good antioxidants.
William Li, MD, is President, Medical Director, and Co-founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation. He has been actively involved in angiogenesis research and development for 22 years. Li trained with Judah Folkman, a pioneer of the field.
