bfood_vitherbs_superhero

Vitamin E – found in foods like nuts, canola oil, sunflower oil, corn oil, peanut butter, wheat germ and eggs – is what you might call a superhero antioxidant, with a single molecule able to keep 200 fatty acid molecules from free radical destruction.2

Okay, so it’s not able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but Vitamin E makes more oxygen available to the brain3 – keeping cells alive and the mind sharp.
