So, you don’t like fish or you are allergic to it. How do get the antioxidants you need to keep your cells healthy and prevent heart disease and cancer?

Well most fruits and veggies have them -- blueberries, red grapes, cranberries, oranges tomato, broccoli, spinach and carrots are loaded with a powerful antioxidant.

Believe it or not so are mushrooms, which contain an antioxidant known as ergothionine, also found in wheat germ.

Sautee mushrooms in olive oil and garlic and wash them down with a glass of antioxidant-rich red wine for a healthy treat.

For breakfast have a bowl of whole grain cereal with a sliced banana and some flaxseeds, grape seeds or wheat germ on top. You can also have a cup of green tea or coffee, which can perk you up and give you some much-needed antioxidant.

Hey, it beats fish for breakfast.
