Go nuts

Walnuts pack a powerful punch–they’ve just been found in research from the American Chemical Society to be the highest in antioxidants when it comes to tree and ground nuts–almost twice as much as the average nut.

Add some to your salads or keep a small packet as an emergency snack at your desk or in your handbag. And btw, roasted nuts usually have decreased levels of antioxidants than raw or unroasted ones.
