    Antioxidant-rich foods are foods that contain high levels of antioxidants, which are compounds that help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. These foods, such as berries, nuts, dark leafy greens, and certain spices, can help reduce oxidative stress and may lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
