4 Easy-to-Find Superfoods That Won't Break the Bank

Miracle Food: Pomegranate

A large, seeded red fruit grown around the world, originally native to Iran and the Himalayas in northern India.

Miracle Nutrient: Polyphenols. You may have heard that these antioxidants lower cholesterol, but that claim is still up for debate. Studies do indicate, however, that they can reduce the risk of heart disease. A 2010 study found polyphenols may also guard against age-associated mental decline.

Mega Price: A 16-ounce bottle of POM pomegranate juice is $5.

Common Sources: Aside from simply eating a pomegranate, you can also get polyphenols from widely available sources such as Concord grapes, red wine, artichokes, parsley, strawberries, and all forms of tea.
