10 high antioxidant nutrient foods that reduce heart disease, cancer risk

10 high antioxidant nutrient foods reduce heart disease, cancer risk.

Welcome to the  Disease Prevention book club.

Eat for Health is Dr. Joel Fuhrman's nutritional prescription for superior health. In his book and in his practice, he promotes the consumption of high antioxidant foods to reduce heart disease and cancer risk.

Irrefutable research proves that vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and seeds contain the nutrients that our bodies need to grow, to repair tissues, and to remain disease-free. When these nutrients are not provided in the diet, the body becomes compromised, and the effects of this deficiency are the symptoms of disease.

Healthful foods are designed by nature to be attractive. They are colorful, and they are bursting with flavor. Their interesting shapes and textures intrigue us to select and taste them.
