Nutrition Boosters for Fruits and
Veggies
Sure, leafy lettuces, red-ripe tomatoes,
and crunchy carrots are good for you.
But are you getting all the nutrients your
produce has to give?
Written by RealAge, Inc., peer-reviewed

Fresh fruits and veggies come packed
with vitamins, minerals, and
phytochemicals.
Or do they? Turns out it might depend on
how you treat them. And no doubt you've
wondered if you could be doing your
produce pals some kind of disservice in
the journey from the grocery store to your
stomach.

Does microwaving really zap away the
vitamins and minerals? Is it better to buy
fresh instead of frozen? And is your body
able to absorb all the good-for-you
nutrition anyway?

RealAge answers your nutrition questions
and outlines a few simple steps to help
you get the most from your
produce-packed meals.

Fresh vs. Frozen
Q. I've always thought fresh is best when
it comes to fruits and vegetables, but now
my daughter tells me frozen foods have
more nutrients. Who's right?

What's in season this season?
Find out when your favorite fruits and
vegetables are in season with this
calendar from 5-a-Day.

A. You're both right. It's true that fresh
fruits and vegetables tend to taste better
and have more nutritional value than
frozen or canned. But that's not always
the case.

Fresh is best when it really is farm-fresh
and ripe. However, many commercial fruits
and veggies are picked before peak
ripeness -- which also means before their
nutritional peak -- to avoid spoilage during
transport and storage. And just a few
days after harvest, fruits and vegetables
begin to lose some of their nutritive
goodness. What's more, the longer they
sit on the shelf -- during transport, in the
supermarket, and in your fridge -- the
fewer nutrients they have left to pass on
to you.

On the other hand, fruits and vegetables
intended for freezing are usually picked
closer to the peak of ripeness and are
flash-frozen immediately after harvest.
The processing does deplete some
nutrients, but it locks in the rest for up to
12 months. So in some instances, frozen
fruits and veggies may actually have more
of the vitamins and minerals your body
needs.

Quick Tip: To help retain the highest
levels of vitamin C, don't thaw frozen
veggies before cooking. Studies show that
vegetables cooked directly from frozen
retain more vitamin C than vegetables
that are thawed first.

for preparing fruits and vegetables.

For nutrient-rich fresh fruits and veggies,
buy what's in season and grown locally.
And eat it within a few days of purchase.

list from the USDA.

To Microwave or Not to Microwave
Q. Does microwaving really zap all the
vitamins and minerals from vegetables? If
so, what's the best way to cook them?

A. The jury's still out on this one. Although
some studies suggest the microwave is to
blame for sucking nutrients out of your
food, others point a finger at the water in
which they are cooked.

For most fruits and vegetables, any type
of cooking lowers the nutrient content. So
for now, a good rule of thumb is: less is
more.
Leave skins on whenever possible. Many
fruits and vegetables hold most of their
antioxidants in their skins. Simply wash
well before cooking/eating.
Lightly steam vegetables instead of
boiling, sautéing, or roasting. Better yet,
go raw with a fresh salad.
If you prefer to blanch your veggies, dip
them into boiling water for the least
amount of time possible.
The exception is the red tomato. Cooking
actually increases its level of lycopene --
an antioxidant thought to help prevent
certain types of cancer, heart disease,
and vision loss.

Quick Tip: Drizzle your vegetables with a
bit of olive oil to help your body better
absorb the vitamins and minerals.

lycopene practices . . .Nutrition Boosters
for Fruits and Veggies

Finding Foods with Lycopene
Q. I don't like the taste of tomato sauce,
but I've heard it's a good source of the
antioxidant lycopene. Are there any other
fruits or vegetables that contain lycopene?

A. You're in luck. Tomatoes and tomato
products may be the main dietary source
of lycopene for most people, but you can
top off your lyco-levels with other fruits,
including papaya, guava, watermelon, and
pink grapefruit.

Lycopene is nature's red and pink
paintbrush; it's what gives those fruits
their color. In people, it acts as a powerful
antioxidant.

But it isn't always easy for our bodies to
access lycopene. Tomatoes, for example,
have relatively low levels of the
antioxidant until they're cooked. Cooking
increases the amount of lycopene, and
adding a little olive or canola oil makes it
easier for the body to absorb this
healthful substance. That means cooked
and processed tomato products, such as
tomato sauce, tomato soup, and spaghetti
sauce, are all excellent sources of
lycopene. Just stick with low-sodium,
low-sugar varieties of prepared tomato
products.

Quick tip: Pair fresh fruit like papaya,
guava, watermelon, and pink grapefruit
with low-fat (rather than nonfat) yogurt or
cottage cheese to help your body better
absorb the lycopene.

Functional Fat
Q. I always use fat-free salad dressing to
ensure I'm not loading up on extra
calories. But I recently heard that full-fat
salad dressing is best. Why is this?

A. It may seem counterintuitive, but it's
true. Salad dressing with the fat is best if
you're after the antioxidants in the salad.

That's because some antioxidants, such
as carotenoids found in carrots, tomatoes,
spinach, and corn, need fat in order to be
absorbed by your body. In one study,
participants who added full-fat dressing to
their salads absorbed more carotenoids
than participants who used low-fat,
fat-free, or no dressing. But that doesn't
mean you should drench your veggies in
high-fat, high-calorie dressings.

Instead, make those calories count by
pairing fresh salads with a bit of healthy
fat. Choose salad dressings with
exclusively heart-healthy
monounsaturated fats. Ones with a base
of olive oil, canola oil, or even avocado
are best.

Beyond Fruits and Veggies
Q. Okay, so nothing beats a fresh salad
with olive oil dressing for a nutritional
punch. But do I have to get all my
antioxidants from fruits and veggies?

A. Nope. Dark chocolate, red wine, and
nuts also offer antioxidant-like
substances. They just aren't as low-cal or
as good for you as produce. So consider
them nice little once-in-a-while treats.

Tea and spices are other sources of
antioxidants that you can load up on to
your heart's content.

Quick tip: If you're looking to get the
antioxidant health benefits from dark
chocolate (yes, it contains heart-healthy
flavanols), don't mix it with milk. Recent
studies suggest that milk may interfere
with the body's ability to absorb flavanols.

Give Your Body the Best Advantage
Any way you slice it, if you eat a balanced
diet with lots of fruits and vegetables,
you're dealing yourself a pretty good
hand in the vitamins and minerals game.
But by employing a few of these
nutrition-boosting tricks of the trade, you
can turn your nutritional full house into a
royal flush. RA

Avoid Weekend
Weight Gain
How to unwind without
undoing your diet.
By Heather Hatfield
WebMD Weight Loss
Clinic-FeatureReviewed
by Kathleen M. Zelman,
MPH, RD, LD
Happy hour after work on
Friday. Dinner out at
your favorite restaurant
on Saturday. A
home-cooked feast on
Sunday.

Before you know it, a
weekend of unwinding
can turn into a
calorie-fest that
undermines a week's
worth of healthy eating --
and, come Monday
morning, sends the
needle on your scale
creeping upward.

"Individual eating habits
tend to change
dramatically over the
weekend," says Cedric
Bryant, PhD, chief
exercise physiologist for
the American Council on
Exercise. "You tend to
see people consuming
more alcoholic
beverages and more
calorie-dense foods. It's
a real easy recipe to gain
weight."

But avoiding the
weekend weight-gain trap
doesn't have to mean
your favorite
Friday-through-Sunday
treats are off-limits,
experts say. Below, they
offer some tips for
enjoying your days off
while avoiding the
weekend food frenzy.

The Weekend Trap
Research has shown just
how much damage
weekend overeating can
do to our diets.

"There is a large and
significant difference in
energy intake on the
three-day weekend
versus the four-day
weekday, particularly for
young adults," says Barry
Popkin, PhD, co-author
of a study on weekend
weight gain.

The study, published in
the August 2003 issue of
Obesity Research, found
that Americans 19 to 50
years old take in 115
more calories per day on
the weekend (defined as
Friday through Sunday)
than on the other days of
the week. Over the
course of a year, that
adds up to 17,940 extra
calories -- or about 5
pounds.

And, as you might have
guessed, it's not healthy
foods that we're eating
more of during the
weekend. That
115-calorie-a-day
difference comes mostly
from alcohol and fat,
says Popkin, a professor
of nutrition in the School
of Public Health at the
University of North
Carolina.

Even so, those extra
calories don't have to
turn into fat, the experts
say. The key is burning
more calories than you
consume. That means
finding active ways to
relax -- like brisk walking,
playing tennis, even
gardening -- instead of
vegging out in front of
the TV.

"People tend to think of
the weekend as their time
to relax and recover from
the hectic workweek,"
says Bryant. "What they
should do is really try to
make an effort to become
more active in their daily
pursuits over the
weekend days. Look for
as many opportunities to
move as possible, so you
can increase physical
activity to offset the extra
calories you consume."

While physical activity
may be the obvious
answer, experts say
there are other tricks that
can help you overcome
the habit of weekend
overindulgence:

Start your day out right.
"Eat a healthy breakfast
on the weekend, when
you have more time,"
says Susan Moores, RD,
a spokeswoman for the
American Dietetic
Association. "You usually
eat less during the day if
you start with a healthy
breakfast, and you get
some good nutrition."
Don't go hungry to "save
up" for a big dinner out.
"Saving yourself
backfires -- you usually
end up eating way more
than you would have if
you ate normally
throughout the day,"
says Moores. "Have a
little bite to eat before
you go out to take the
edge off your hunger,
and then simply enjoy
good food when you go
out."
Savor the experience of
dining out. "Allow yourself
to enjoy good food and
savor it, rather than
overindulge in it," says
Moores. "People forget
what the whole eating
experience is about --
sitting with friends,
enjoying your time
together, and relaxing."
Eat slowly. "It takes 15-20
minutes for your brain to
signal your stomach that
it's full, so take your
time," Moores explains.
"Whether you're at a
party or eating out on the
weekend, remember to
slow down when you're
eating."
Start with soup. "Take
your time when you order
at a restaurant, and start
with soup," says Moores.
"Then, have the waiter
come back so you can
order an entrée -- you'll
order much less than if
you ordered all at once."
Halve your restaurant
entrees. "Splitting an
entree with a friend is a
great way to make a
significant cut in calories
on the weekend," says
Moores.
Don't skip dessert; share
it. "Make it special," says
Moores. "Choose
something that is really
delightful to you and split
it with a friend. Keep an
eye out for portion sizes,
and if the dessert you
want is huge, ask the
waiter to slice it thin or
split it with the table -- but
I'm all for dessert."
Avoid overdoing it with
alcohol. "If you can cut
out one or two drinks per
day on the weekend, that
will save you 100 to
150-plus calories," says
Moores. And, she
explains, people who
drink more tend to eat
more as well. So drink
alcohol with caution, if at
all.
Remember your
waistline. "Wear a tighter
pair of pants when you
go out on the weekend,"
says Moores. "Wear
something that's not
uncomfortable but that
reminds you there are
limits to what you should
eat."
Find a substitute for
soda. "Use water to
satisfy thirst, rather than
soda, which many people
drink more of on the
weekends," says Bryant.
"Not only are they
consuming a tremendous
amount of calories, but
soda is high in fructose,
which stimulates the
appetite." Beyond that,
the experts say, the best
way to keep the
weekends from
torpedoing your diet is to
take a commonsense
approach to nutrition --
every day of the week.

"I think most people are
better off from a health
standpoint to eat sensibly
each day," says Bryant.
"Consume a variety of
foods, don't skip meals,
eat individual-sized
portions, and whenever
possible, substitute a
favorite high-fat food or
high-sugar food with a
healthy alternative."

3 Simple Tips for Losing
Weight

Go to sleep. Getting enough
sleep every night keeps you
slim. Why? When your body
doesn't get the 7 to 8 hours it
needs every night, it doesn't get
a full resupply of serotonin and
dopamine, two feel-good brain
chemicals it craves. So it looks
for ways to replenish them, and
guess what immediately
releases both in the body:
sugary foods. That's why when
you're tired you start craving
sweets! So tuck yourself in early
and stay slim.

Keep your hands full. You'd
think that sitting around playing
video games, solitaire, or surfing
Yahoo! would be a recipe for
putting on pounds. Nope. When
your fingers are flying, they're
not knuckle-deep in a bowl of
chips. Now, that's not to say that
endless hours on your duff are
good for your waistline, but
when you keep your hands and
brain occupied, you're not
automatically reaching for
something to eat. In fact, you're
probably not even thinking
about food. So the next time you
start to open the fridge door,
turn on the computer or pick up
your knitting instead.

Pick and stick. Yeah, sure,
variety may be the spice of life.
But it can also be the death of
dieting. When you have a lot of
choices for a meal, it's a lot
easier to slip out of good eating
habits and into buffet binges.
One way to avoid trouble is to
eliminate choices for at least
one meal a day. Pick the meal
you rush through most, and then
automate it. For most people,
that's lunch. Find a healthy
lunch -- maybe salad with grilled
chicken or a turkey sandwich on
whole wheat bread -- and have it
for lunch every day. Every day.
Yes, every day. The less you
think about food, the easier it is
to control your appetite. And
decreasing choices decreases
temptations.

Eat the Good Fat First
Choosing the right
appetizers may help you
eat less
Written by RealAge, Inc.,
peer-reviewed by Dr. Axel
Goetz, September 2004

If you're trying to watch
your weight, you don't have
to entirely avoid that bread
basket and dish of olive oil
before your meal. Noshing
on whole-grain bread
dipped in olive oil may
actually help you eat less
overall. Consuming a small
amount of healthy
unsaturated fat, such as
olive oil, before a meal
slows the rate at which the
stomach empties, which
means:
You'll digest your food more
slowly, so you'll eat less but
still feel full.
Your blood sugar won't hit a
high peak after you eat, but
will remain at a lower, stable
level.
Your body will more easily
absorb fat-soluble vitamins
such as A, D, E, and K, as
well as fat-soluble nutrients
such as lycopene and lutein.

It doesn't take much: Just
70 calories worth will do the
trick. This translates into
half a tablespoon of olive
oil, 6 walnuts, 12 almonds,
or 20 peanuts.

From WB MD
Sleep is extremely important,
especially for weight loss.
Establishing a normal sleep
routine and giving your body the
time it needs to recover (yes, I
sleep 7.5-8 hours a day and it's
done miracles in how I feel
during the next day). Portioning
only works if you are well aware
of how many calories the things
you chow down have. Just one
slice of cheese packs same
amount of calories as 1 medium
apple does. You can look up all
the info you need on
calorieking.com

30 mins a day will most likely not
help you shed your weight,
without additional input. It will
perhaps maintain your weight.
You have to break the calorie
intake versus calorie
expenditure line; 30 mins of
walking will not help you much if
you don't understand or know
how many calories you packed
during the day. The healthy
suggestion is to lower your
calorie intake from the
recommended one by 500
calories a day but NO MORE. (1
pound of fat = 3500 calories).
You need to look up your weight
and how many calories you
should eat daily (look up any
online calculator), and take a
look at the foods you eat. Do
some math. See where you can
cut the extras from your diet.
Exercise will help but it won't do
any good if your calorie intake is
much bigger than the
expenditure. To put it in
perspective: 1 snickers is 280
calories. At 160lbs (some
hypothetical weight) you'd only
burn 114 calories in 30 min walk.
That's not even half of that
snickers you ate.

Top YOU Tip #6: Fab Food
Combo
The food duo with the most
muscle? Fiber and water.
Together they keep your food
bulky and soft, so it can move
easily through your system
without putting too much
pressure on your intestines.
Remember, without water, fiber
often turns to cement.

The combo of fiber and water
also makes you feel full, which
helps your overall health,
because it keeps you from
eating other things that are more
likely to lead to problems
associated with obesity, like
heart disease and diabetes.

Where to get it? Fiber is found in
fruits, vegetables, whole grains,
oats, beans, and some cereals.
Your goal: 25 grams a day for
women and 35 grams a day for
men. And don’t forget the water.

Eating a bit of high-fiber fruit
-- like a small apple or pear --
before each meal is a proven
weight-loss booster.

Vegetable and Fruit juices
By Rev. George Malkmus
Click here for the website link
How can we most readily furnish our body with the elements
needed? The premise of Dr. Norman W. Walker in writing Fresh
Vegetable & Fruit Juices is that the primary cause of nearly every
sickness and disease is the deficiency of vital organic minerals,
vitamins and enzymes in our diet.
Then, Dr. Walker asks, "How can we most readily furnish our body
with the elements needed?" The answer is the book's title itself,
Fresh Vegetable & Fruit Juices, and you may find incredible
what was known by Dr. Walker as early as 1936, when this book
was written.
The fact that Dr. Walker lived to be over 100 and wrote his last
book when he was over a century may be considered as evidence
that he knew his subject matter pretty well. He was
seriously ill in his early 40’s when he was convinced to go the
natural health route. He went on to practically invent carrot juice
and the concept of healing with fresh vegetable and fruit juices.
"Except for accidents, all the repair and regeneration of our body
must come from within," Dr. Walker writes. "If the blood stream, cells
and tissues, organs, glands and all the rest of the body
does not contain these elements in their proper proportion, or if any
of these elements is deficient, then the body is out of balance and
the condition develops which is known as Toxemia, and Toxemia
means just plain poison. "In order to regain and maintain the
proper balance of health, most of the food we eat must contain live,
vital, organic elements. These elements are found in fresh-raw
vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds," he adds. The Earth and its
waters are full of minerals, but the only source we have of organic
minerals and organic water that our body can assimilate is plant
life. "The rays of the sun send billions of atoms into plant life,
activating the enzymes and by this force they change inorganic
elements into organic or life-containing elements for food," Dr.
Walker writes. The advantage in juicing vegetables is that this
process separates the living, vital, organic minerals, vitamins, and
distilled water from the fiber (pulp). With the fiber removed, our
body can assimilate these vital nutrients in liquid form in about 10
to 15 minutes, Dr. Walker writes. Fiber has no nutritional content,
requires several hours -- and considerable energy -- for digestion,
and some deterioration of nutrients occurs before food reaches our
cells. Dr. Walker emphasizes, however, that fiber is an important
element in our diet, because it acts as an "intestinal broom" as it
travels through our stomach, duodenum, 25 feet of small intestine
and colon. This fiber should be obtained by eating a good quantity
of raw fruits and vegetables. Once food is cooked, this fiber turns
to a mush that leaves a coat of slime on the walls of our
intestines, which can putrefy and cause Toxemia, a sluggish colon,
constipation, colitis, diverticulosis and other problems, Dr. Walker
writes. Once food is cooked, its oxygen (a vital element) is lost,
enzymes are destroyed "and most of the vital force needed for
nourishment is dissipated … One can eat four or five big meals a
day, and yet the body may be starved through the lack of the vital
elements in the food and the disturbance of the enzyme balance."
Dr. Walker notes, "As a rule it will do no great harm to occasionally
eat a little cooked food, but never fried food, provided that a
sufficient quantity of raw food is also eaten." And he
recommends a vegetarian, non-dairy diet. Clearly a physician
ahead of his time, Dr. Walker warned nearly 60 years ago that hope
for finding a cause and cure of cancer "does not lie in the
field of fantastic speculation and destructive research by means of
uncontrollable radium experiments, but rather in the deficiency of
life in the atoms of the food we eat." In addition to ruling out cooked
food as a source of anything vital for the body, Dr. Walker notes
the limitations of medical drugs: "There is not a drug in the world
that will supply the blood stream with anything in a way in which the
body can use it for permanent repair or regeneration."
This regeneration must come from within the body , and Dr. Walker
states vegetable juices are the best source of the nutrients needed
for regeneration. Even in 1936, Dr. Walker said results
of Juice Therapy "in helping the body recover from nearly every
disturbance or ailment, have been almost phenomenal the world
over... Today, any person not familiar with the nutritional
and recuperative value of fresh vegetable and fruit juices is woefully
uninformed." He notes, "Fruit juices are the cleansers of the human
system …Vegetable juices are the builders and regenerators of the
body. They contain all the amino acids, minerals, salts,
enzymes, and vitamins needed by the human body, provided that
they are used fresh, raw, and without preservatives, and that they
have been properly extracted from the vegetables."
Dr. Walker advises, "Just as long as we include a variety of
vegetables in our food combinations, we need not fret or worry
about obtaining all the minerals and Vitamins we are
trying to furnish our body." Nonetheless, Fresh Vegetable & Fruit
Juices offers an exhaustive listing of fruit and vegetable juices,
detailing the specific amounts of 21 different elements,
vitamins and minerals contained by each fruit and vegetable. The
book also includes a list of 87 different juice formulas, and in
cooperation with Dr. R.D. Pope, M.D., Dr. Walker (a Doctor of
Science) lists 155 ailments, with one or more of the 87 juice
formulas recommended for the treatment of each ailment.
Much information is presented about the specific values of different
vegetable and fruit juices. For example, carrot juice is referred to as
"the richest source of Vitamin A which the body can
quickly assimilate," and it also offers an ample supply of other
vitamins and minerals. Because of Vitamin A's benefit to the moist
lining of our various membranes, carrot juice "helps prevent
infections of the eyes and throat as well as the tonsils and sinuses
and the respiratory organs generally." Because of its high calcium
content, carrot juice is valuable in the improvement and
maintenance of bones and teeth. "One pint of carrot juice, daily,
has more constructive body value than 25 pounds of calcium
tablets," he notes. Like all minerals, calcium must be in an
organic (living) form to be assimilable by our body. He warns that a
calcium deficiency can result from drinking pasteurized cow's milk,
and that this form of calcium "is just as inorganic as
that used in making cement." It can't be used by the body, and ends
up forming kidney stones, gall stones, hemorrhoids or tumors, he
warns. As for "foods" such as candy, soft drinks and ice cream, Dr.
Walker notes, "The human digestive processes were never
intended by Nature to be called upon to convert these so-called
foods into nourishment for the cells and tissues of the body. The
result of using them is apparent in the degeneration of the human
system... To consider the brief span of two or three
score years as constituting old age is nothing less than a downright
insult to Nature and to our Creator. It is a shameful admission that
we do not know how to live and have not taken the trouble to learn
the first principles of regenerating our body. It is a confession that
we eat ourselves into the grave by catering to our appetites."

LEGALLY allowed to CURE
PEOPLE. They threaten that
anyone who is NOT a licensed
physician that CURES the
symptoms, could be
practicing medicine without a
license.
Natural Foods, Herbs,
Common Sense DO NOT make
people RICH. But prescribing
man made medicine makes
Drs and related
Pharmaceutical Companies
very rich.
Hospital, as a business, aren't
rich, though. But those who
work in them are. The
hospital's bottom line at the
end of the day, I believe, has
more money owed to them
than they have as profits.

Health care coverage should
do exactly that! COVER!!!
Insurance companies pay
charges for those who do
have money to pay insurance
premiums. What happens to
the rest of the uninsured?
Hospitals end up paying for
all the patients who can't pay.
Unknown symptoms cause
patients to seek & obtain
professional medical advice.

Seek advice or suffer & die.

Is their recommendation for
treatment from MDs to have a
quick Rx fix? Shouldn't we
insist that instead of masking
the symptoms with Rx,
physicians should investigate
the CAUSE and insist the
patient takes personal
responsibility to change their
lifestyle's poor diet and
poor exercise choices.

When you take the
I CAN
and
I WILL
approach and attitude, you
have just increased your
chances of success more
than 50%.

When you ask the question
and then implement the
determination for an answer:
WHAT CAN I VISUALLY SEE TO
PROVE WHO I AM INSIDE?
... these are steps to a
healthier you. Your mental
attitude and quest for
answers will be what cures
you. You can save yourself,
but need others who have
"been there" to be your
guide.
