"Many people think of pomegranate juice and blueberries as a prime way to get antioxidants, and they are, but some of the holiday spices, like cinnamon and cloves, are also really potent sources of antioxidants," said Samantha Cassetty, M.S., R.D., nutrition director, Good Housekeeping.

Cassetty said a great way to spice up your holidays is to add some of these flavorings to your favorite holiday foods like ginger bread, pumpkin pie, and a baked sweet potato.

"Ginger is another potent source of antioxidants. The one thing I like to do is sautee a pound of baby carrots with a half teaspoon of ginger," said Cassetty. "Ginger bread cookies are a great way to get your antioxidants over the holidays because they incorporate ginger, cloves, and cinnamon, so they're a really fun and delicious way to get your kids to eat antioxidants too."

The government recently calculated antioxidant scores for foods and found that Red Delicious apples and dark chocolate came out on top. To learn more, check out the November issue of Good Housekeeping or visit www.goodhousekeeping.com.
