Berries

These tasty fruits, which include strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, are another source of plant compounds that protect the body. These compounds, in addition to being responsible for the berry's vibrant colors, act as antioxidants, which means they help fight the harmful effects of oxidation – a natural process that can lead to inflammation. Berries are also high in vitamin C, which has anti-inflammatory properties.

Berries are so delicious that people don't just eat them for breakfast or dessert. They like to add strawberries or blueberries to salads, and blackberries to make a delicious sauce for lean meats like pan-fried venison.
