What antioxidant foods will be helpful to someone with cardiovascular disease?

Matthew's reply: One of the best antioxidant foods I recommend virtually everyone should eat are goji berries, also called wolf berries. These small red berries are a common ingredient in Chinese herbal medicine, and in China they are a common ingredient in soups and other dishes.

According to Western research goji berries contain:

* 18 types of amino acids
* 21 minerals (including iron, copper, zinc,
calcium & selenium)
* Betacarotene (far more than carrots)
* Antioxidants
* An anti-inflammatory agent
* Vitamin C (far more than oranges)
* Vitamins B1, B6, E

And according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has used goji berries for centuries, goji berry benefits include:

* Nourish blood
* Kidney, liver tonic
* Improve vision
* Enhance libido
* Calm nervous system
* Improve physical endurance
* Promote longevity

As for other good antioxidant foods, apart from eating goji berries I take Dr Ben Kim's super green powder. It's an organic wholefood powder made from green vegetables and is high in antioxidants (and many other nutrients). I am on my 4th bottle now. Take a look and read the reviews.

Any questions or comments about antioxidant foods like those above, just post below.

All the best,

Matthew
