Poga Moonga and Antioxidant Foods

Poga Moonga and Antioxidant Foods

Antioxidant food contains Vitamin C, beta-carotene, and Vitamin E. Antioxidants fall into seven food group categories. These categories are as follows, berries, fruits, legumes (beans), nuts (nuts, seeds and dried fruits), cereals, vegetables and roots. Recent studies, found in the Journal of Nutrition, analyzed the total antioxidant content of foods found in each group.

The following foods contain the highest amount of antioxidants in their food group. In the berries group (dog rose and crow berry), the legumes group (broad beans), the nut group (walnuts), the vegetable group (kale), the cereal group (barley), the root group (ginger) and the fruit group (pomegranate). Pomegranate was found to have the highest concentration of them all.

Now I don’t know about you but I never had dog rose, broad beans or kale. I eat walnuts once in a while and how much barley and ginger can you eat to get the adequate amount of antioxidants it has to offer. Pomegranate seems to be the best choice. You can purchase it in concentrate form and add 2 ounces to any fruit drink.

Then you will be sure to get all the benefits of the antioxidant. You can purchase antioxidant food supplements but the natural form of antioxidants you get from the food is much more powerful. Taking pomegranate juice will enhance the effects of antioxidant supplements.

Most of the juices you drink have antioxidants, like strawberry, blueberry, cranberry and raspberry juice but the antioxidants are strongest in dog rose and crowberry. In the legumes group, pinto beans, soybean are also good sources of antioxidants but broad beans have the highest amount. In the nuts group sunflower seeds, and prunes are also a good source of antioxidants but walnuts have the highest amount. In the vegetable group, chili pepper, red cabbage, peppers, parsley, spinach and Brussels sprouts have antioxidants but again, kale is the most potent.

In the cereal group barley has the most but millet, oats and corn have antioxidants too. In the root food group, red beets contain antioxidants. And finally, the fruit group has grape, orange, plum, pineapple, lemon, kiwi, clementine and grapefruit juice but pomegranate juice has about three times more antioxidants than all of these juices. Pomegranate is truly the super antioxidant food.Pomegranate juice, which is found in Poga Moonga, is a great way to get the antioxidants your body needs.
