What are some healthy foods to eat that decrease your risk for diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease? A good one is any food that has beta-carotene. Beta-carotene helps prevent free-radical damage and protects the eyes. The body also turns beta-carotene into vitamin A, which may help ward off some cancers, especially of the skin. Another good food is the avocado. It contains oleic acid, an unsaturated fat that helps lower overall cholesterol and raise levels of HDL.
Another wonderful fruit is the raspberry. It contains ellagic acid which helps stall cancer-cell growth and are also packed with vitamin C. Cantaloupe not only has vitamin C and beta-carotene it contains potassium which helps lower blood pressure. If you get bladder infections easily you want to drink cranberry juice. It helps fight bladder infections by preventing harmful bacteria from growing.
Most everybody likes tomatoes and that is a good thing as it contains lycopene one of the strongest carotenoids which acts as an antioxidant. Research shows that tomatoes may cut the risk of bladder, stomach and colon cancers in half if eaten daily. Lycopene is best absorbed when eaten with a little fat. The little gem raisins are a great source of iron, which helps the blood transport oxygen and which many women are short on. A half-cup has 218 calories, 0 fat and 3 grams of fiber. Sprinkle raisins on your morning oatmeal or bran cereal - women, consider this especially during your period.
Like any vegetable or fruit, eating them raw is the healthy way to go. But for cooking, you want cooking pots and pans that minimize temperatures and the amount of water. This will help preserve valuable nutrients and that us why waterless cookware is recommended. What are you waiting for? Go to a waterless cookware store online and start eating healthy today! -
