The plant pigments that give these gems their vibrant color can reduce the body’s output of compounds that trigger joint pain by 46 percent — an effect shown to ease aches three times better than aspirin. For a body-soothing sip, puree 1⁄2 cup of fresh or frozen strawberries until smooth and divide between two glasses; top off with 1⁄4 cup of lime juice, 1 cup of seltzer and stevia to taste.

2 PARSLEY WARDS OFF BRAIN FOG

Warm days and cool nights can trap pollutants in the atmosphere, increasing your exposure to toxins that trigger mental exhaustion. But digging into a parsley-spiked salsa can help. Research in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that a volatile oil in the herb boosts the liver’s ability to break down and eliminate toxins before they can cause fogginess and forgetfulness.

4 LEAFY GREENS INCREASE ENERGY

For pep to power through the extra hours of daylight, enjoy 1 cup of leafy greens daily. They’re rich in plant compounds (called polyphenols) that speed the conversion of fat into energizing fuel to banish tiredness for up to three hours. Another benefit: The vitamin B12 in leafy greens boosts the production of energizing enzymes to deliver a lasting increase in vitality and stamina.
