These fruits and vegetables are in season now (which means off-the-charts deliciousness) and deliver maximum health benefits. 以下都是时令蔬菜和水果，它们代表着唾手可得的美味，以及最大化的健康。 Blueberries: The Indigo-Colored Antioxidant 蓝莓：靛蓝色的抗氧化剂 Why: These berries-one of the few foods that are naturally blue-have sky-high levels of antioxidants, which combat the damage done by inflammation. Anthocyanins, the natural plant compounds that give blueberries their deep color, may have antidiabetic effects as well. 原因：作为难得的纯天然蓝色食物，蓝莓含有超多的抗氧化剂。它能抵抗炎症带来的危害。天然的植物复合物花青素把蓝莓染成了深蓝色，而这种物质很可能具有抗糖尿病效果。 Red Bell Peppers: A Sweet, Crunchy Punch of Vitamin C 红灯笼椒：甜蜜又爽脆的维C大王 Why: While all peppers are very low in calories (about 25 per cup), reds-which taste sweeter and milder-are best for you. They contain 11 times more beta-carotene than green bell peppers, and while the green variety delivers 60 percent of the recommended daily value of vitamin C, red gives you 240 percent. 原因：所有的辣椒类蔬菜都含有非常低的卡路里（每杯约25卡），其中红色椒（因其甜甜的温和口感）最适合你。它们比绿灯笼椒含有11倍更多的β-胡萝卜素。此外，绿灯笼椒能提供你每日所需维C的60%，而红灯笼椒能给你240%。 |
