Many people take vitamins and other supplements to help them keep healthy and augment their diet and workout routine. In addition to supplementation, it is also important to include foods in your diet that are rich in nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. One little-known substance that contains health-promoting benefits is anthocyanins.
