Super Fruits and Vegetables Guide
You know you are supposed to eat more fruits and vegetables. But which kinds?
Fruits and Vegetables are all-stars. Not only are they low in calories and high in fiber, they contains unique phytochemicals, or antioxidants, that boost your health. It's important to eat a wide variety of colorful fruits and vegetables every day to reap the health benefits. That's because each color contains different sets of phytochemicals that provide different health benefits.
Super Fruits and Vegetables to Add to Your Diet
• Super Red: Pink grapefruit, red bell peppers, tomatoes, and watermelon
Lycopene shows promise in fighting lung and prostate cancers. Lycopene is
actually more available after cooking or processing so don't ignore canned
tomato paste!
• Super Purple: Concord grapes, blueberries and prunes
The anthocyanins that give these fruits their distinctive colors may help ward
off heart disease by preventing clot formation. They may also help lower risk
of cancer.
• Super Green: Spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens and bok choy
Lutein appears to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke as well as guard
against age-related macular degeneration. Dark green leafy vegetables are
usually high in folate, a B vitamin that shows promising results in preventing
heart diseases. In addition, Sulforaphane, a photochemical present in
cruciferous vegetables, was found to detoxify cancer-causing chemicals before
they do damage the body.
• Super Orange: Carrots, mango, pumpkin and oranges
The beta carotenes in these orange super fruits and vegetables may prevent
cancer, particularly of the lung, esophagus and stomach. They may also reduce
risk of heart disease and improve immune function.
• Super White: Cauliflower, mushrooms, banana and onions
These contain anthoxanthins and allicin, which can help lower blood pressure
and protect against stomach cancer.

Top 10 Nutrition and Fitness Tips
Tips and hints to get you fit and healthy
6. Buy a pedometer. A pedometer keeps track of how many steps you take daily. Wear it every day, around home, work, and while exercising. Your National Body Challenge goal is to increase your steps by 10,000 or more daily! Remember this: You'll burn roughly 100 to 125 calories by taking 2,500 steps (about one mile). The goal during the challenge is to burn 300 extra calories and to eat roughly 200 calories less in a day. This 500-calorie deficit is equivalent to one pound of body fat per week and a healthy boost to your self-esteem.
7. Don't skip breakfast. Research shows that the most successful "losers" never skip it. Try to keep it balanced with some protein, a healthy carb, and a small amount of fat. Here are some examples: an egg-white omelet with fresh berries and a piece of whole-wheat toast, or a skim milk shake with fruit and yogurt.
8. Nix the late-night eating. If you eat a lot of excess calories after 8 p.m., you wear them the next morning. Put a stop to this by making sure you have a healthy dinner consisting of lean protein, veggies, and fruit.
9. Eliminate processed sugars. Processed sugars are carbs that have been stripped of their valuable nutrients. How can you identify these sugars? They are all white: table sugar, pasta, rice, and bread, and they're nothing but trouble, since they kick up your appetite for more of the same.
10. Have a mid-afternoon snack. This will curb your appetite and provide fuel for your after-work walk or workout at the gym. Some great snack ideas include: reduced-fat peanut butter on a multi-grain cracker, a couple of pieces of low-fat string cheese and an apple, cottage cheese with pineapple, or try a low-fat cheese microwaved in a whole-wheat pita.
P.E. class the week of November 8-12.
