This unusual, thick-skinned fruit with its hundreds of red seeds provides a juice that contains levels of phytochemicals/ antioxidants that are much higher than in the juice of other fruits. The phytochemicals in pomegranates, called punicalagins, have been shown in a number of experimental studies to support optimal blood pressure levels, enhance antioxidant levels, and decrease the risk of vascular endothelial damage associated with diabetes. |

Why MoAt DietA Fail

Hundreds of books extol the benefits of fruits and vegetables, exercise, and myriad diets. I'll wager a guess that you've regularly tried new programs, whether low-fat, high-fat, low-calorie, high-carb—you name it, it's out there. Ditto with fitness programs: aerobics, strength training, yada, yada. | | The first is that if you eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, they provide more of every compound than your genes can use. But consider this: foraging humans and our ape ancestors usually ate up to 200 different plants on a rotating basis. Today, the rare individual may actually consume twenty-five plants on a regular basis, but the average American eats about five, and that's counting French fries. Moreover, the vast majority of plants are grown with petrochemical fertilizers, which have existed for only the past fifty years. | | For dessert, have berries or a serving of "Friendly Fruits" (after the first two weeks; page 69), a piece of more than 70 percent cocoa chocolate, or see recipes for desserts in the Recipe section.
While you are becoming accustomed to eating the Diet Evolution way, you may find it handy to copy and enlarge the meal plans for the phase you are following and post them in a handy location such as a bulletin board or the inside of a kitchen cabinet. | | These provide a serving of fruits or vegetables—along with mucho servings of sugar.
6. Any food that contains sugar using one of its aliases—cane sugar, natural sugar, date sugar, organic sugar, or various syrups. There is no such thing as "safe" sugar. þ. Skim milk and soy milk lattes or Frappuccinos. These have more sugar than the "high-test" versions.
8. Foods such as cereals, breads, and crackers heralding "whole-grain goodness." These might as well be sugar.
9. Foods labeled low-fat, fat-free, no sugar, or no cholesterol. These are all code words for "high sugar" or sweet taste.
10. | | You'll continue your nut and seed snacks, as well as eat berries and certain other fruits in moderation, which you will have resumed after two or more weeks in Phase 1. Likewise, you can, if you choose, resume eating extremely small portions of whole grains and legumes. And it's important to note that a whole grain is just that-whole. If you grind up a whole grain, it isn't whole anymore, is it? Again, I recommend you follow this phase for at least six weeks, preferably staying in it until your weight normalizes. |

Based on these studies, doctors such as Dr. Vivekananthan and his colleagues have repeatedly recommended ending the enrollment of patients in trials of vitamin A and beta-carotene and ending their use in daily practice. After looking at all the studies, it is easy to conclude that there is an increased risk of both heart disease and cancer with beta-carotene. |

TU including tomatoes, and scientists believe that this triple-threat antioxidant team has strong disease-fighting potential. And if that isn't enough, phenolic acids found in tomatoes have the potential to fight lung cancer with their ability to inhibit the formation of nitrosamines in the body.
Tomatoes also have a compound in them called lutein, which is great for your eyes. |

However, this did not interfere with his conclusion that the risk for cancer of any site was 10 percent lower among those drinking two or more cups of tea daily.5
Another group of researchers questioned whether the results of their study were affected by the healthful diets common to tea drinkers. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Here is a rule of thumb: the more varied the color of your fruits and vegetables, the greater variety of bioflavanoids you will get. These extremely potent antioxidants also have some antiallergen and anti-inflammatory properties. Red wine and grape juice have a product called polyphenols, for example, which have been shown to decrease the formation of oxidized LDL cholesterol. They also help protect the integrity of the endothelium.10
Grape-seed extract is believed to be the best bioflavanoid antioxidant in helping prevent chronic inflammatory disease. | | Physicians also realize that patients who eat a low-fat diet, which includes at least seven servings of fruits and vegetables daily, enjoy further health benefits. These include:
• weight loss.
• a decreased risk of diabetes.
• a decreased risk of heart disease.
• a decreased risk of almost all cancers.
• a decreased risk of high blood pressure.
• a decreased risk of elevated cholesterol.
• an enhanced immune system.
• an increased sensitivity to insulin.
• increased energy and ability to concentrate.
Let's face it: a healthy diet is a win/win situation! |

Take omega fatty acids, especially omega-6, such as primrose Q oil and borage oil, as directed on the label to help relieve inflammation. | | Eat fresh vegetables and reduce your caffeine intake, as it dehydrates the skin. fruits such as pears, cranberries, blueberries, and bananas are recommended. Mung beans, red or adzuki beans, bamboo shoots, and purslane are also beneficial. Avoid foods that are rich and fatty, as they have a dry and warm property.

Diet: Food allergies appear to be a major cause of eczema, particularly an allergy to milk in infants. In others, an allergy to gluten is a prime culprit. Foods that contain gluten include wheat, oats, rye, and barley. | | Eat plenty of fiber, especially from whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, to keep your digestive system clean and free of toxins. Cold-water fish are high in essential fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties. Eat salmon, herring, and mackerel two to three times a week. Avoid foods that may make you flush, such as spicy food, caffeine, and alcoholic drinks. Avoid food allergens that may mimic the symptoms of rosacea and cause inflammation. The most common food allergens are dairy, wheat, corn, soy, and citrus foods. | | Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and beans all contain high levels of fiber. Ground flaxseeds, also high in fiber, can be sprinkled on salads and cereals. If you eat meat, stick to organic, hormone-free beef and chicken to avoid hormonal imbalances in your body. Diets low in inflammatory foods are essential for the relief of pain with periods. These foods include hydrogenated fats, sugar, processed carbohydrates, wheat, and dairy products. Also eat oily fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel, and flaxseed to obtain omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation. |

In addition to hormone replacement, the bisphosphonates (alendronate, ibandronate, and risedronate), calcitonin, and raloxifene are antiresorptive medications, which slow or stop the bone-resorbing portion of the bone-remodeling cycle without slowing the bone-forming portion of the cycle. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Dietary Antioxidants
It is apparent from many studies of humans that the consumption of high levels of fruits and vegetables leads to a lower incidence of such degenerative diseases as cardiovascular problems and cataracts, as well as cancer. A particularly alarming statistic is that people with the lowest fruit and vegetable consumption have about double the rate of cancers of the colon, stomach, esophagus, lung, pancreas, cervix, and ovary, compared to people who consume many fruits and vegetables.31 Dietary antioxidants appear to be responsible for this difference. |

Eat a well-rounded, balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, and a moderate amount of cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products, and you should get enough calcium in your diet to minimize bone loss with aging. In the wintertime take long walks in the sun to stimulate vitamin D production. (Most vitamin D is generated internally after exposure to the sun.) If someone in your family is elderly and doesn't get out much or is confined, wheel him or her outdoors for some sun exposure.

Chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light energy and makes plants green, is a natural blood enhancer and neutraliser of toxins.
