In
school your teacher taught you the pyramid of foods to eat for a
healthy diet. A few years ago, it was changed completely as more and
more research and studies showed that eating less meat and dairy and
more fruits and veggies are healthier for us. In fact, studies show that
an increase of fruits and vegetable consumption - especially vegetables
- can prevent an estimated 10 to 20 percent of breast cancer cases.
Dr. Daniel Nadeau, author of The Color Code: A Revolutionary Eating Plan for Optimum Health, recommends that we eat a variety of foods from the four basic color groups: Red, Blue-Purple, Orange-Yellow, And Green. Each of these foods contain phytochemicals (pigments which give plants their bright colors) that help guard against chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Now it's not enough to just eat 4-8 servings of fruits and veggies a day the more the better.Carotenoid substances are found in deep green and orange vegetables and fruits, like broccoli, carrots and cantaloupe, kale, spinach and other cooked greens), alpha-carotene (in carrots and pumpkin) and beta-cryptoxanthin (in oranges, peaches and papayas).
Ellagic acid destroys carcinogenic substances and makes cancerous cells self-destruct. From the red group, strawberries, cranberries, cherries, red grapes, beets and red peppers are powerful sources of antioxidants. They also contain a large amount of Vitamin C and ellagic acid. Ellagic acid destroys carcinogenic substances and makes cancerous cells self-destruct. Cranberries fight ulcers and cherries reduce inflammation.
Fruits with citrus peel such as the orange-yellow group like oranges, grapefruits reduce skin cancer risk and carrots are one of the top cancer fighting foods. Green vegetables like avocados help to lower cholesterol and spinach protects the eyes from cataracts.
Blueberries may improve memory. Blue foods reduce stress and help eliminate free radicals. Grape juice stops plaque formation in the blood vessels, keeps arteries elastic and inhibits clot formation.
