Antioxidants: What's in, what's out, and what's (About) to come

It seems that just about everyone is really big on following health trends, and as many of you may know, antioxidants has been the latest craze! Antioxidants help to maintain health and prevent diseases such as cancer. Blueberries and pomegranates have become popular due to the fact that they contain antioxidants. All kinds of drinks and meals have been oomph-ed with the help of blueberries and pomegranates.

BUT why follow a trend when you can be a part of the trend-setting? Blueberries and pomegranates are currently in, but will shortly be on their way out! Its time to get your Acai berry and Goji berry fix!

Acai has been claimed to be ‘Nature’s Energy Fruit’ and one of the most powerful foods in the world. It is a small berry found in Brazil’s Amazon region. And, it is recommended by Dr. Perricone on Oprah.com - what more could you ask for?

Goji berries are found in subtropical regions of China, Tibet and Mongolia. They have been used for over 6,000 years to boost the immune function and promote longevity. Containing 19 amino acids (including the 8 essential ones) and essential fatty acids like omega-6, they fill in where many foods leave off. They also contain Vitamin E, which is virtually unheard of in fruits.
