Antioxidants are compounds that absorb free-radical molecules that can lead to cancer and age-related ailments. The more antioxidant-rich foods you include in your diet the better. To help you do that, here are five foods to swap to get a bigger antioxidant boost.

Black tea, which makes up most of the popular blends, ranks much higher than coffee in terms of antioxidants. So make like the British and exchange your coffee for two cups of tea per day.

Beer made the top 10 antioxidant list because of sheer volume consumed, but red wine is the better way to go. By volume, it has more antioxidants.

The general rule for getting the most antioxidants: the closer to the plant the better. Whenever possible, eat the original.

A staple of every grocery store visit may be bananas, but next time go on a date for dates. Dates have the most antioxidants based solely on serving size.

The milk in milk chocolate prevents a lot of the antioxidants from getting into your body.
