Blue/Indigo/Violet Fruits and Vegetables
The blue, indigo, and violet list of fruits and vegetables are great for their anti-aging properties. These foods have tons of antioxidants, specifically anthocyanins and phenolics. Some blue and purple fruits and vegetables are also really high in vitamin C.
Anything in this category will help improve circulation and prevent blood clots, so they are great for the heart and can help prevent heart disease. They are also known to help memory function and urinary tract health and to reduce free radical damage.
I love this article and agree with it mostly. I do have to comment that some people with inflammatory diseases could potentially have a problem with veggies in the nightshade category (i.e. eggplant, etc.) All I'm really trying to say is just to keep this in mind. Thank you for posting this.
