Blueberries
Another type of berries that is high in antioxidants is blueberries. This fruit is full of nutrients and low in calories. 100 grams of blueberries contain more than 9 mmol of antioxidants, making it the richest source of antioxidants among commonly consumed veggies and fruits. Animal and test-tube studies have suggested that consuming blueberries would slow down the age-related decline in brain function. This effect may be attributed to antioxidants, which neutralize harmful free radicals to reduce inflammation and change the expression of several genes. Blueberries also contain anthocyanins, which can lower blood pressure and levels of LDL cholesterol. [4]
