TIP OF THE WEEK
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.

These contain anthoxanthins and allicin, which can help lower blood pressure
and protect against stomach cancer.
