1) Blueberries- protect the brain's memory-carrying cells (neurons) from the damaging effects of oxidation and inflammation. They also have a high water content which is great for hydrating your skin!
2)Spinach- vitamin C and beta-carotene, as well as lutein and

zeaxanthin — a duo that acts like sunscreen for your eyes and guards against macular degeneration. One cup of spinach is almost double the daily requirement for vitamin K, which plays an important role in cardiovascular and bone health. AND is a good source of iron to keep your hair and nails healthy

3) Dark Chocolate- flavonoids, antioxidants that have been shown to lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, and boost overall heart health
4) Red Bell Peppers- one red bell pepper has twice as much vitamin C as an orange. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps clear your body of free radicals and keeps your skin and

blood vessels healthy and strong.
5) Beans- The protein and fiber in beans tempers the rise in blood sugar that occurs after a meal, which can help stabilize mood. Beans also help keep you regular and are a cheap but healthy food that improves your daily intake of potassium and

magnesium which can help lower blood pressure.
6) Pumpkin- Loaded with nutrients that will help your heart, bones, eyes, and skin. Beta-carotene and potassium are the two standouts here: Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that helps rejuvenate skin, protect your vision, and may even reduce risk of

arthritis. Potassium is a mineral involved in lowering blood
pressure and maintaining healthy bones.
7) Black soy beans- Not only do black soybeans contain more proteins and antioxidants than other options – they also help you lose weight! Black soybeans contain very little carbs and take

longer to digest, which keeps your stomach fuller longer.
8) Turmeric- This antioxidant, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory spice gives curry its distinctive taste. Researchers attribute part of this to curcumin, a compound gives turmeric its deep golden color, and studies suggest
curcumin may protect against cancer and Alzheimer's and also improve circulation,

prevent blood clotting and tame a variety of pains.
9) Coconut oil- Bolsters your body against viruses and bacteria that can cause illness. It can also boost thyroid function and blood-sugar control as well as aid with digestion, reduce cholesterol and keep weight

balanced.
