Fresh, colorful produce is loaded with
phyto-nutrient density, a variety of anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,
digestible and non-digestible plant fibers to prevent colon cancers, balance
hormones, improve regularity. strengthen immunity, manage inflammation, manage
pH,
heart disease, Syndrome X or "Metabolic Syndrome" and diabetes.
For instance, black
cherry juice contains "COX2 INHIBITORS" and the anti-oxidant, "Melatonin",
which is an effective treatment for inflammation. Black cherry is often used
to alleviate symptoms of arthritis.
-
Black elderberry juice
squashes a flu and even pneumonia.
-
Cranberries really help
manage urinary tract infections
-
Green vegetables
manage pH to prevent acidosis and acidic conditions.
Why
worry about being slightly acidic?
-
When the bloodstream
becomes acidic, one side effect is that the body pulls calcium out of bones
in order to buffer and neutralize the acidity. Over time, you develop porous
bones [osteoporosis].
-
Acidic conditions
leads to inflammation. This condition is a precursor for a variety of
diseases.
-
There is plenty more to say on acidosis and preventing it, but you can start by eating
plenty of green produce and avoid overdoing refined sugars, starches and
overloading on proteins or "amino acids".
Your immune
system, cardiovascular system and endocrine system
all benefit from colorful, enzyme-rich, phyto-nutrient-rich produce.
- The more vibrant the color, the more
loaded it is in phyto-nutrition.
- Some plant fibers turn into weak
plant estrogens. Pre-lignin plant fibers become lignans (lignans are also
spelled lignin).
- isoflavones are weak plant hormones
found in soy foods. It is always best to eat the whole bean rather
than load up on soy supplements. The recent study indicating soy was not
effective in managing symptoms of menopause was one isolated study done on
people eating refined soy foods. Even soy milk is refined. Shoot for
fermented soy products like miso paste for soups and sauces, or " tempeh".
Although
low-glycemic colorful fruits like cherries, pink grapefruits, red
grapes and low-glycemic vegetables like
broccoli, spinach and kale are wise choices to mange blood sugars...
...high-glycemic
selections like watermelon, carrots and beets also contain precious
nutrients and phyto-nutrients and can be consumed in smaller quantities due to
the high sugar content. DOSAGE DIP:
Colorful yet glycemic produce, like watermelon, carrot juice, yams, pineapple
can be consumed in a larger doses if protein-rich foods are included in the
meal to balance blood sugars. Protein slows the rate at which sugars enter the
bloodstream.
Colorful
phyto-nutrients...a few
examples of what they can do for you
- Anthocyanodins
are yellow, red,
and blue pigments which are powerful
anti-oxidants to keep you younger. Anti-oxidants prevent "free radicals" from
consuming your body.
- Lycopene
is a red pigment found in carrots, tomato sauce (activated when exposed to
heat and oil), watermelon and pink grapefruit (to mention a few sources).
Lycopene is believed to cut the risk of heart
disease and prostate cancers by 50%.
- Lutein
& Zeaxanthin
protect the retina and your vision with anti-oxidants. Lutein is found in many
dark green vegetables, as well as orange and red. Green veggies manage pH.
- Indole-3-carbinals
are weak plant estrogens found in broccoli and "cruciferous" vegetables.
Cruciferous vegetables are identified by their cross-shaped leaves.
Being a racist is a bad idea!
Discriminating against un-colorful produce is simply wrong!!!!
Every rule has its exception.
Yes, color is
the key to phyto-nutrient
density.
However, exceptions to this rule include...
- cauliflower -- not very colorful, yet
it is in the cruciferous vegetable family and contains
indole-3-carbinols, which are found in supplements to
help balance hormones!
- Soy is not very colorful, either, yet
it is loaded with isoflavones which act as
phyto-estrogens (extremely weak plant hormones). The whole soy bean is
rich in a variety of nutrients, including: fibers [to clean your gut],
vitamins, minerals, and even tryptophan to raise serotonin. When serotonin
rises, cravings for carbohydrates fall off. WARNING:
if you overeat soy, you may become sleepy due to a tidal wave of
serotonin, rather than the desirable slow drip. However, if you have trouble
sleeping at night, then soy foods which help you sleep.
Squeeze in
7-8 servings of produce every day.
Get 2-3 servings of produce
per meal.
What's a serving? Use your common sense and trust your instincts:
-
one small piece of fruit
- One cup of water-based vegetables, like
Summer squash, broccoli, spinach, kale...
- 1/2 cup glycemic vegetables, like
carrots, Winter squash, yams, sweet potatoes
- Here's a tip: a steamy cup of a
high quality green tea or mate' tea can be considered a "liquid vegetable", if
you are not into "veggies" or are making a transition to eat more.
