Antioxidant-Rich Meals: This Week on AOL Health

From reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer to giving you shiny hair and clear skin, the list of positive effects superfoods have on the body goes on and on.

So why aren't more people able to incorporate them into their diet? Simple. It's not so easy to get your daily five to nine servings, no matter how delicious or nutritious they may be. That's why AOL Health enlisted Constance Brown-Riggs, author of "The African American Guide to Living Well With Diabetes," to create simple breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes that include a healthful yet hefty dose of antioxidants to help you reach your daily count.

From simple mango smoothies, chock full of beta carotene and vitamins C and E, to dinner-friendly cornmeal crusted catfish that's rich in selenium and vitamins A, E and C, you'll be able to find a meal that works for you.

For more of these delicious, antioxidant-rich meals, check out AOL Health.

Spring's right around the corner, which means strawberry season will be in full-swing before you know it. That's Fit has some great suggestions on how to incorporate this sweet superfood into your daily diet.
