here are some natural foods that provide antioxidants

There are many different types of food rich in antioxidants that could provide us with ample quantities of antioxidants to be readily absorbed into our system. Do you know that fruits and vegetables containing vitamins C and E are rich in antioxidants? Citrus fruits like lemon, orange, mangosteen juice(i personally use), etc. all are full of antioxidants. We may also obtain antioxidants from cabbage, kiwi fruit, bean sprouts, whole grains, milk and milk products, egg yolk and almost all varieties of nuts.

Unbelievable though, our very familiar potato is a humble carrier of antioxidant as are red beans, all types of berries, cereals, artichokes, pecans, cinnamon and cloves. There will be no dearth of antioxidants in our bodies if we merely take these usual vegetables. As food rich in antioxidants, and when taken regularly, they are the better bet than beef and pork.

Plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains contain many components that are beneficial to human health. Research supports that some of these foods, as part of an overall healthful diet, have the potential to delay the onset of many age-related diseases. These observations have led to continuing research aimed at identifying specific bioactive components in foods, such as antioxidants, which may be responsible for improving and maintaining health.

Antioxidants are present in foods as vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and polyphenols, among others. Many antioxidants are often identified in food by their distinctive colors—the deep red of cherries and of tomatoes; the orange of carrots; the yellow of corn, mangos, and saffron; and the blue-purple of blueberries, blackberries, and grapes, garlic,spinach,tea,broccoli, soy, whole grains,red grapes.. Hope that helps :)

Coffee & wine richest in antioxidants.
Coffee's the best.
That doesnt mean you have to guzzle coffee.
Even a mug a day will do the trick.
Since your question is specifically about antioxidants, coffee is the clear leader (refer the link below).
Ofcourse, this assumes you have a decent enough diet going anyway for nutritional value.
