Polyphenols

Polyphenols are chemicals found abundantly in many types of foods, especially brightly colored fruits and veggies, but also teas, coffee, chocolate, and herbs/spices. Red wines are a rich source, too.

Of the top 5 polyphenol-containing foods, four are from berries. In order:

1. Wild Blueberries
2. Blackberries
3. Pomegranate
4. Cranberries
5. Blueberries

You can add strawberries and raspberries as close contenders.

Try to include at least 2 cups per day of these fruits in your diet.
