Terms, Same Old Foods _
Nutritionally dense foods are not new to the natural food industry—health-food stores have carried lecithin, brewer's yeast, and soy products for over 60 years. What is new is the amazing research that points to the disease-preventing abilities of these and other foods. The term nu-traceutical was coined by Dr. | | Food Sources—Highest levels are found in berries, sweet peppers, broccoli, citrus fruits, strawberries, melons, tomatoes, raw cabbage, and leafy greens such as spinach, turnip, and mustard greens. Among animal foods, only liver contains vitamin C.
Functions in the Body—In your body, vitamin C functions primarily in the formation of collagen, the chief protein substance of your body's framework. | | Recommendation: Begin by eating foods rich in potassium: broccoli, tomatoes, bananas, and citrus fruits. You can purchase a potassium-containing salt substitute, called NO SALT, at most grocery stores. Use 'A to lh teaspoon of this product in cooking each day to add potassium to your diet. Warning: If you take insulin, do not supplement with extra potassium unless your physician has instructed you to do so after verifying you to be deficient. Dangerously high levels of potassium can result from taking supplemental potassium in this instance. |

About 5% to 10% of the total vitamin C content of fresh fruits and vegetables is comprised of dehydroascorbic acid. In the case of processed foods, dehydroascorbic acid makes up about 30% of the vitamin C content. |

(Citrus)
From ruby grapefruit to Key limes, the number of citrus fruits is huge. Hundreds of varieties and subspecies grow throughout the tropics and subtropics. Add the endless number of hybrids for an unwieldy category, as well as the largest fruit industry.
Citrus plants are small evergreen trees or shrubs, which originated in China and Southeast Asia. The primitive citron was the original citrus fruit. Today, these fruits grow throughout the world, wherever there's ample moisture and little or no frost. Brazil and the United States are the world's largest citrus producers. |

Citrons, ugli fruits, and bitter oranges excepted, select heavy fruits with thin skins. As a rough skin indicates a thick skin, it also indicates a fruit with proportionately less flesh. A citrus that's light for its size is an old, dehydrated fruit. Avoid citrus with brown, bruised, or soft spots. Organic citrus lacks the uniform, cosmetic color of commercial citrus—as well as the chemical colorants and herbicides.
Refrigerate citrus fruit or store in a cool pantry. | | Buying Unlike other citrus fruits, which are tree ripened, most lemons are picked green in the cold months and then left to ripen and cure in storehouses. Storage mellows the acid, thickens and toughens the skin, and gives the lemon a bright silky

See book keywords and concepts | | Most common on his list are citrus fruits, tomatoes, wheat, and sugar. This agrees with my own observation of the common-problem foods.
^ Hypoglycemia
Reactions to food sensitivities can cause blood-sugar changes. If you suffer from hypoglycemia, investigate the role foods can be playing.
Immune Deficiency
Food sensitivities waste immune power. If you are prone to getting sick easily or have an illness (such as HIV or tuberculosis) that leaves you open to secondary infections, then food-sensitivity therapy is highly recommended. | | Wheat, sugar, soy, and citrus fruits are also commonly involved.
^ Eczema
Food sensitivities might eliminate the underlying cause of this condition (though you should also consider fatty-acid imbalances as a possible cause). Eczema is not a cortisone-cream deficiency: You're not treating the cause if you just stop the irritation and itching with an over-the-counter ointment.
°^ Fatigue
There can be many causes of fatigue. A comprehensive protocol should also address diet and the role of food sensitivities.
°^ Gallbladder Problems
Dr. | | These include cow's milk, wheat, sugar, chocolate, soy, citrus fruits, and peanuts. You should eliminate all of these from your diet for one to two weeks.
At the end of the period of total sanctions, begin to introduce one food at a time every two to three days and see if you notice a reaction. Do this until you have gone through all the foods.
True, two weeks may seem like a long time if you're on such a restricted diet. However, the elimination diet is quite accurate.
As an alternative approach, I more often recommend a modified version of the elimination diet that's less stressful. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Pectin This is found in apples, citrus fruits, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, dried peas, green beans, potatoes, squash, and strawberries. (Provides soluble fiber.)
Gums and pectin primarily influence absorption in the stomach and small bowel. By binding with bile acids, they decrease fat absorption and lower cholesterol levels. They delay stomach-emptying by coating the lining of the gut, and by so doing they slow sugar absorption after a meal, which is helpful to diabetics since it reduces the amount of insulin needed at any one time. |

Also commonly found in fortified breakfast cereals, it is essential to the formation of collagen and cell walls and helps the body deal with stress and illness.

If you lose 5 percent of your body fluids and don't replace them, you may experience headache, fatigue, lack of concentration, and an elevated heart rate. Lose greater amounts, and you face the risk of confusion, shock, seizures, coma — even death.
Sip water throughout the day. Don't wait until you feel thirsty to drink a glass of water. Your thirst, especially as you get older, may not be a reliable gauge of your body's need. |
