If you want add some lunges in there on the way into the store or mall! No door dents on my car!

Challenge of the Day

Okay Fitties!!!

Let's get that antioxidant snack in that body of yours!

Some Ideas for you:

Blueberries are not only popular, but also repeatedly ranked in the U.S. diet as having one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits, vegetables, spices and seasonings. Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals that can damage cellular structures as well as DNA.





Green tea is the least processed and thus provides the most antioxidant polyphenols, notably a catechin called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), which is believed to be responsible for most of the health benefits linked to green tea.




Small Red Bean (dried) Half cup
Wild blueberry 1 cup
Red kidney bean (dried) Half cup
Pinto bean Half cup
Blueberry (cultivated) 1 cup
Cranberry 1 cup (whole)
Artichoke (cooked) 1 cup (hearts)
Blackberry 1 cup
Prune Half cup
Raspberry 1 cup
Strawberry 1 cup
Red Delicious apple 1 whole
Granny Smith apple 1 whole
Pecan 1 ounce
Sweet cherry 1 cup
Black plum 1 whole
Russet potato (cooked) 1 whole
Black bean (dried) Half cup
Plum 1 whole
Gala apple 1 whole
