Who knew that besides being an essential breakfast staple, Blueberries are also one of the best foods out there when it comes to antioxidant content per serving! Several studies even suggest that blueberries contain the highest amount of antioxidants among all commonly consumed fruits and vegetables.
A serving of Blueberries comes packing with more antioxidants than a glass of green tea along with Vitamins A, C and E that help maintain even-toned skin with potent pigmentation fighting properties.
Tomatoes are a lifesaver when it comes to restoring the glow to dull skin. Tomatoes are bursting with good-for-you antioxidants like beta-carotene and lycopene, which helps in fighting off free radicals, repair sun-damaged skin and protect against pigmentation.

Native to South America, the Camu Camu fruit is best known for its exceptionally high Vitamin C content, which outshines other power-packed fruits like Acai Berries, Lemons and most citrus fruits. Studies have found that the fruit can contain anywhere from 1,882 to 2,280 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit. The same amount of Lemons only contain 53mg of Vitamin C for reference.
Besides its well known immunity-boosting benefits, Vitamin C also plays a huge role in the maintenance of eye, heart and your overall health.
