Mushrooms have been used as medicine by many cultures around the world. Mushroom compounds may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer benefits. Studies have shown that mushrooms can stimulate the activity of immune cells and macrophages. These help stop the growth and spread of tumor cells and kill existing tumor cells.

Berries are among the healthiest fruits partly because of their dark colors. They have almost 10 times as many antioxidants as other fruits and vegetables. A study of nearly 100,000 people found that those who ate the most berries were significantly less likely to die of cardiovascular disease. Berries boost your levels of a type of white blood cell that helps your immune system fight diseases. Berries may also reduce and repair cell damage as well as slow cognitive decline.

Bananas have a peel that's tough to eat and tastes bitter. Still, the peel has some great health benefits. It has potassium and antioxidants, like lutein. Lutein is good for eye health. Banana peels also have something called tryptophan, an amino acid. Since the skin is tough and bitter, you can boil it for a few minutes, then bake in the oven to dry it out for a tea or a smoothie.
