Foods High in AntioxidantsHere is a thorough list of foods high in antioxidants:
Some foods are higher in a specific antioxidant than others, while other foods are higher in other specific antioxidants. Therefore, eat a variety of fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc. so you are supplying your body with as many different antioxidants as possible. Remember that all antioxidants work together so the more fruits, veggies, seeds, nuts and such that you eat and the greater the variety, the better and healthier you will be. Please try to get as much of your produce as you can at farmer's markets (avoid pesticides, radiated food) and better yet grow some tomatoes and sweet strawberries, etc. yourself. Fruits 
*Blueberries, raspberries and blackberries: contain the antioxidants known as proanthocyanidins*Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries: contain ellagic acid *Watermelon: high amounts of the antioxidant Lycopene (gives the flesh of the watermelon its red color! -yummy! *Red grapes *Oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes: contain several phytochemicals (carotenoids, flavonoids, coumarins, limonoids, and terpenes) please note: Try to eat the whole orange in its natural form instead of orange juice as some of the potency is lost during extraction. Same goes for all other fruit and fruit juices. *Kiwi Fruit Vegetables *Avocadoes: glutathione *Carrots: Contain Beta Carotene (makes carrots orange) *Spinach: contains Beta Carotene (the green Chlorophyll covers up the orange pigment) *Tomatoes: Also high in Lycopene (also red), and glutathione! Tomatoes are fat-soluble so best to eat with an oil for better absorption, as in a salad with olive oil dressing. *Green Pepper: beta carotene *Broccoli: contains antioxidant indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and beta-carotene and glutathione! *Spinach: Lutein and glutathione Nuts *Almonds *Pecans *Walnuts *Hazelnuts *Macadamia nuts Legumes *pinto beans seeds *sunflower seeds *pumpkin seeds herbs *Garlic: jam-packed with antioxidants, including glutathione (also anti-fungal and anti-viral) Teas
green tea (jasmine tea): contains the antioxidant catechin. Oolong tea (has 60% less catechin than green tea because of processing--baking and fermenting.) Black tea (has 90% less catechin than green tea) Spices *Cloves *Oregano *Cinnamon As you know, it is very important to eat organic (and locally-grown) fruits and veggies as often as possible to supply the body with antioxidants. Yes, and sometimes even dark chocolate!
Do not forget though, that it is just as important to limit our exposure to chemicals and toxins. glyconutrients are an excellent source of antioxidants and help generate activity of glutathione.
