Antioxidant, noun: 1. A substance such as vitamin C or E that removes potentially damaging oxidising agents in a living organism.

Now that the week is over (almost), flush those potentially damaging oxidising agents from your living organism by infusing your weekend with antioxidant rich food and products. Here are some tips we’ve compiled to help you along:

Food: You may assume that you know generally which foods have antioxidants and which don’t (e.g. raspberries vs. cheeseburgers) but sometimes it is important to make sure your comfortable assumptions have an actual factual basis. So here it is in a nutshell… Or a bean pod.

The most antioxidant packed foods are: Beans: Red, Kidney, Black, pretty much any variety is a smart choice. Berries: wild are best, otherwise go for regular blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or strawberries. In that order. Other antioxidant rich fruits include cranberries, prunes, apples, cherries and plums.

Products: Vitamin E is one of the most potent sources of antioxidants that can be found in beauty products. A key ingredient in Jurlique Herbal Recovery Night Mist, Vitamin E helps reduce signs of dehydration and increases smoothness and radiance.
