Leafy green vegetables such as spinach, parsley, and lettuce, as well as broccoli, peas, lima beans, tomatoes, and potatoes, especially the skins, all have significant levels of potassium. Fruits that contain this mineral include oranges and other citrus fruits, bananas, apples, avocados, raisins, and apricots, particularly dried. Whole grains, wheat germ, seeds, and nuts are high-potassium foods. Fish such as flounder, salmon, sardines, and cod are rich in potassium, and many meat foods contain even more potassium than sodium, although they often have additional sodium added as salt.

Scientists at the American Health Foundation of Valhalla, New York add that regular intake of yellow and green vegetables, foods containing calcium, as well as selenium and other micro-nutrients further lowers the risk (3). High-fat diets are known to cause breast cancer in rats. Scientists also gave rats receiving such high-fat, cancer-causing diets, supplements of calcium and vitamin D. In one experiment, 40 female rats were divided into 5 groups and fed differing amounts of fat, vitamin D, phosphorus and calcium.

Unlike most green vegetables, nopales may be refrigerated in plastic for several weeks. I do not recommend canned nopalitos; they have little flavor and a compromised texture. If you live west of the Appalachians and south of British Columbia, you can forage this widespread desert food. See Prickly Pear. NORI (Porphyra tenera) Nori, dried seaweed, is ebony colored, paper-thin, and crisp. A sheet of nori makes an excellent toddlers' first finger food. Fascinated by its crinkly texture, they gum it until it softens, besmearing fingers and face—a visible and healthy food experience.

Copper Seaweed, whole grains, beans and legumes, raisins, apricots, beets, garlic, nuts, mushrooms, leafy green vegetables, and unrefined sea salt. Fluorine Seaweed, rye, rice, parsley, avocados, cabbage, and unrefined sea salt. Germanium Seaweed, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, onions, ginseng, aloe vera, and unrefined sea salt. Iodine Seaweed and unrefined sea salt. Also, when grown in iodine-rich soil, the following: garlic, asparagus, lima beans, sesame seeds, soybeans, and turnip greens. Similarly, if microalgae is grown in iodine-rich water, it provides iodine.

The most common cause of riboflavin deficiency is dietary inadequacy, which occurs in those who do not consume rich dietary sources of the vitamin, such as organ meats, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, leafy green vegetables and whole grains. Deficiency of the vitamin can occur in the elderly subsisting on tea or coffee, toast and cookies. Riboflavin deficiency also occurs in those with chronic liver disease, chronic alcoholics and those who receive total parenteral nutrition (TPN) with inadequate riboflavin.

The researchers suggested that green vegetables rich in chlorophyll might be helpful in humans exposed to PCDD and PCDF congeners. In a study of geriatric patients, chlorophyllin was said to be effective in helping control body and fecal odors and helped ease chronic constipation. It also reduced excessive flatus is some. In another study, this one involving incontinent geriatric patients, subjects received 100 mg of chlorophyllin daily or placebo for two weeks. A non-significant decrease in urinary odor was noted in those receiving chlorophyllin, compared with those on placebo.

The best dietary sources of iron are green vegetables, legumes and meat. Milk products, snack foods and soft drinks are not good sources of iron. Much of the iron ingested in the American diet in the form of bread and cereals is not well absorbed. The average dietary intake of iron in the United States ranges from 10 to 20 milligrams daily. Many, including adolescents and pregnant and lactat-ing women, may be at risk for iron deficiency. ACTIONS AND PHARMACOLOGY ACTIONS The major activity of supplemental iron is in the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are also found in nettles, algae and the petals of many yellow flowers. In green vegetables, fruits and egg yolk, lutein and zeaxanthin exist in non-esterified forms. They also occur in plants in the form of mono-or diesters of fatty acids. For example, lutein and zeaxanthin dipalmitates, dimyristates and monomyristates are found in the petals of the marigold flower (Tagetes erecta). Many of the marketed lutein nutritional supplements contain lutein esters, with much smaller amounts of zeaxanthin esters, which are derived from the dried petals of marigold flowers.

Foods rich in magnesium include unpolished grains, nuts and green vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are particularly good sources of magnesium because of their chlorophyll content. Chlorophyll is the magnesium chelate of porphyrin. Meats, starches and milk are less rich sources of magnesium. Refined and processed foods are generally magnesium-poor. The mean daily magnesium intake in the U.S. in males nine years and older is estimated to be about 323 milligrams; for females nine years and older, it is estimated to be 228 milligrams.

Although many fruits and vegetables have some magnesium in them, especially good sources of magnesium are whole grains, wheat bran, leafy green vegetables, nuts (almonds are a very rich source of magnesium and calcium), beans, bananas and apricots. Trace minerals are also important in helping your body absorb calcium. Eating plenty of green leafy vegetables gives you calcium along with these helpful trace minerals. Boron and manganese are especially important. Foods that contain boron include apples, legumes, almonds, pears and green, leafy vegetables.

Foods high in vitamin K include dark, leafy green vegetables, lettuces, potatoes, fish and fish oils, fruits, especially citrus fruits, egg yolks, dairy products, the cruciferous family of vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Onions and soy foods may increase the action of anticoagulants. If you eat lots of vegetables, don't stop because you're taking this drug! Have your physician adjust the drug levels accordingly. Don't drink tonic water if you're taking an anticoagulant.

YARD-LONG BEAN Asparagus Bean, Chinese Long Bean, Cow Bean, Dou Gok, Long Bean (Vigna unguicutata) If your children don't eat enough green vegetables, bring home some yard-long beans. Blanch and cool the beans, call in the kids, and let them braid, spiral, and tie the long beans. Their art goes on the dinner table along with a vegetable dip—vitamin A handled for the day. The loan bean is a black-eyed variety and a vegetable staple throughout Asia and in other semitropical regions. Use Long beans are a poor substitute for green beans when boiled or steamed (although a zippy dressing helps).

Provitamin A, mainly in the form of beta-carotene, is found in a wide variety of yellow-and orange-colored fruits and vegetables, as well as leafy green vegetables. Beta-carotene is actually a double molecule of vitamin A. It may be converted to vitamin A in the upper intestine before absorption; beta-carotene can also be converted to vitamin A in the liver. People with diabetes, low thyroid activity, and those who use a lot of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) without antioxidants such as vitamin E have lowered ability to convert beta-carotene to A.

Getting children and fatigued adults to eat more green vegetables and chlorophyll is often helpful for supplying additional naturally-occurring magnesium. People tend to sleep better after taking magnesium before bed. Alcoholics tend to have low magnesium levels, and this mineral can be helpful during withdrawal and to prevent or reduce hangover symptoms. When given orally, magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) is not absorbed but attracts water into the colon and thus acts as an effective laxative. Epsom salts in a bath are absorbed slighdy and are known to be relaxing.

Teenagers with poor diets, who do not eat green vegetables or many vegetables at all other than fried potatoes, may more easily become folic acid deficient. If we suspect deficiencies, it is wise to get a blood folate level as well as a B12 level before treatment with supplements. A red-blood-cell folate level may more accurately reflect body stores of folic acid. Besides causing mental symptoms, folate deficiency can also affect the skin. As in vitamin B2 (riboflavin) deficiency, cracks or scaling at the lips and corners of the mouth (cheilosis) may occur.

It received its name from the Latin word folium, meaning "foliage," because folic acid is found in nature's leafy green vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and beet greens. Folacin, a derivative of folic acid, is a dull yellow crystalline substance made up chemically of a pteridine molecule, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), and glutamic acid. It is actually a "vitamin within a vitamin," with PABA as part of its structure.

To give an example of the rich nutrition of the leafy green vegetables, let's analyze a cup of cooked kale, which is a fairly large portion, requiring two to three cups of fresh kale. This has just over 50 calories, nearly 10 grams of carbohydrate, several grams of protein, 2-3 grams of fiber, and hardly any fat, less than 1 gram. The vitamin A activity is nearly 8,000 IUs, more than the RDA for A. Calcium content is between 150 and 200 mg., magnesium about 30 mg., iron 2 mg., potassium nearly 300 mg., and vitamin C 100-150 mg., and there are traces of manganese, copper, and zinc.

The degree of protection was similar to, but somewhat more marked than, those afforded by green vegetables and fruit studies carried on in the same areas. The results support the findings of other researchers who found, for example, a 40% reduction in the risk of esophageal cancer by simply consuming one serving of raw tomatoes per week and a 50% reduced rate for cancers of all sites among elderly Americans reporting a high tomato intake. These results suggest that increasing dietary lycopene levels may be a significant protector against cancer.

The effect was closely associated with the intake of green vegetables. The women in the lowest fertile intake of crude fiber intake and the highest fertile intake of fat intake had a 2.9-fold increased risk for breast cancer relative to those in the highest fertile of crude fiber intake and the lowest fertile of fat intake.33 The same protective effect has also been found in Table 57.

Clinicians report that a diet high in unrefined carbohydrates and raw green vegetables and moderate in protein, with no meat, dairy, or sugar, provides high resistance to worm infections.16 Roundworms prefer an environment that is acidic, sweet, and constipated, so an alkaline diet low in sugar and high in fiber is recommended. A healthy diet also prevents worm infection by improving immunity and preventing exposure through proper preparation and cooking of food. Fasting Fasting for the elimination of parasites is an intriguing concept, but with no human research.

Compared with the standard American diet (the SAD diet), the Cretan diet consists of more bread, more root vegetables, more green vegetables, more fish, less meat (beef, lamb, and pork are replaced with poultry), no day without fruit, and butter and cream replaced with canola and olive oil. Compared with the control group, the group consuming the Cretan diet had a 60% reduction in overall mortality.

And since leafy green vegetables are a good source of magnesium, I've created a Magnesium Medley Salad. To make it, include any of the following ingredients to which you have access, in whatever amounts are pleasing to you: fresh purslane, green beans, spinach and lettuce. And throw some poppy seeds into the dressing; they also contain magnesium. V Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica). This silicon-rich herb has strong folkloric support as a treatment for gout and rheumatism, which means it's long been used to treat inflammatory conditions that affect the joints.

Even if they don't relieve endometriosis symptoms, they are green vegetables, and eating more vegetables lowers cancer risk. If you have lupus or a family history of lupus, however, steer clear of alfalfa sprouts. There's some evidence that they may trigger lupus in sensitive individuals. V Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis). I think of evening primrose oil (EPO) more as a treatment for the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) than for endometriosis. (For more information on EPO and PMS, see page 364.

Fruits and green vegetables contain moderate amounts, content depending upon the soil in which the crops were grown. The more alkaline the soil the less manganese there will be in the food. Manganese is concentrated in the bran of grains, which is removed during processing. Organ meats, shellfish and milk are additional good sources of this element. The most common supplementary forms of manganese are manganese sulfate and manganese gluconate. They both deliver about the same amount of manganese to the body; the sulfate is usually less expensive.
