Pomegranate:
The pomegranate is a traditional symbol of Christmas in Greece. Pomegranates are rich in the
red-pigmented flavonoids called anthocyanins. Research suggest that these powerful
antioxidants may lower cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood pressure. The
fiber in whole fruits like pomegranates also provides a feeling of fullness with fewer calories,
helping to maintain a healthy weight.
Brussels Sprouts:
Brussels sprouts are good sources of phytonutrients, delivering their potential antioxidant
benefits. Each 1-cup serving of cooked Brussels sprouts provides 4 grams of fiber, is an excellent
source of vitamins A, C, K and folate and a good source of iron. They even have some protein!
Lemon:
Citrus fruits are a great source of Vitamin C. Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble
vitamin well known for its role in supporting a healthy immune system. Because your body
cannot make vitamin C, it must come from the foods you eat every day. As an antioxidant, vitamin
C fights free radicals in the body which may help prevent or delay certain cancers and heart
disease, and promote healthy aging.
