| At dinner, the reunited family eats a single meal consisting of a vegetable soup (minestrone) to which the richest add some pasta. In most areas, families ate meat only once a week, on Sunday. In 26 of 71 municipalities surveyed, meat is a luxury eaten only during festivals, not more than twice a month. Interestingly for a Mediterranean culture, fish did not figure prominently into the diet."
The report went on to say that shepherds drank wine daily. "In the fields, some peasants drink wine; most of them drink wine only at the evening meal, and no more than a quarter bottle. |

After breakfast, Marge came back to her room to reflect on the Lord and His blessings. Then she did her exercises. "Today I knew you were coming so I saved some for you," she said. "Let's go."
Marge hit the carpet with both feet before the words left her mouth and led me out the door and down the hallway (past the big, framed poster celebrating her 100th birthday, adorned with dozens of signatures and well wishes) and into the elevator to the basement. |

 Another option for a good protein source and companion for detoxification, especially for those who are vegetarian, is called "whole food multinutrients," a comprehensive vitamin and mineral supplement with an added food complex, amino acid complex, antioxidant complex, herbal complex, fruit and vegetable complexes. Look for one made from pea and rice protein.
Other important amino acids and antioxidants that you can find in supplement form to support detoxification include the following:
?alpha-lipoic acid
?glutathione
?N-acetylcysteine
?glutamine

Toxins that mimic the female hormone estrogen can have devastating effects on a woman's natural hormonal cycle, fertility, and general health. Many researchers believe fiber may help in fighting breast cancer. |
| Look for a formula that will contain a variety of enzymes to address every type of food group ingested: fats, starches, dairy, plant, vegetable material (cellulose) and sugar. The ideal digestive enzyme supplement would be plant-based. Such enzymes are already activated as they enter the system and therefore start to work in the stomach, continuing to function throughout the body with a broad pH range.

It can be difficult to get 35 grams of fiber in a day from foods alone (for a list of excellent sources of fiber, refer back to page 118 in Chapter 5). |

 Soups are a great opportunity to boost your vegetable consumption. And they can serve as a meal or an appetizer. Soups provide not only great taste and satisfaction but also a synergistic combination of several SuperFoods from one or more categories in a single bowl. A SuperFoods soup is a virtual guarantee that you're on your way toward fulfilling your daily SuperNutrient needs. Most soups straddle one or more of the SuperFood categories, depending on the primary ingredients in that soup. |

 The ingredients in the Adrenal Boost formula are vitamin C, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, deglycerized licorice root, Mexican wild yam root, schizandra berry, Eleutherococcus senticosus root, stinging nettle leaf, trimethylglycine, special plant cellulose, natural silica, vegetable stearate, and magnesium stearate. I recommend that people dealing with chronic (long-term) stress take one capsule every morning and every night if they need it.
You should not take Adrenal Boost, however, if you have high blood pressure, because licorice root can elevate blood pressure. |

 If you don't move, you are not an animal anymore—you become a vegetable!"
Certainly this is a factor with the marathoners of Odyssey House. But even with a milder case such as Rusty's, doing DDR chased the bleakness out of his view of his future. And while most experiences will pale in comparison to the high of snorting cocaine, the possibility of a rich life can help keep that memory in perspective.
Rusty is now in his sophomore year of college, making good grades, and dating a girl who is also committed to staying sober. |

 All meals for my cars are composed of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber plus a teaspoon of vegetable oil per day. This is all processed in the blender, but I hold back a few chunks of meat and add it to their food. This gives them something to chew on.
I usually add natural bran as a source of fiber. If your cat suffers from constipation, one half to one teaspoon of bran can be added to the diet. Constipation is a frequent problem in older cars. To help this, make sure water is always available for your animal companions. |

 Meanwhile, as author Greg Critser observes in his book, Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World, "such promotional campaigns can be highly effective" because of the fact that "the soft drink industry spends upward of $600 million annually to promote its trash (compared with the National Cancer Institute's paltry $1 million budget for promoting fruit and vegetable consumption). |

| They're included in the vegetable category because of course beans are a plant-based source of important vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and they're listed in the meat category because they are an excellent source of protein.
From a practical standpoint, there are few foods more versatile, inexpensive, and easy to incorporate into your diet. For those with little time and those trying to save money, as well as dieters simply working to reach their weight-loss goals, beans are the answer. If you have a can of beans in the pantry, you have a meal. |

Ramundo also finds that adults are helped by exercise, "very strenuous exercise, not just your three times a week, 20 minutes of aerobics, but an hour or two hours a day. Adults say it stimulates the action in the brain sufficiently that they do not need to take medicine. |

| Here's a very specific example of this amplifying benefit: While we know that broccoli and tomatoes, both SuperFoods, are independently recognized for their ability to help prevent cancer, a study published in the journal Cancer Research reported that when both are included in the daily diet, the ultimate effect on prostate cancer is greater than when either vegetable is eaten alone. As the report noted, "The combination of tomato and broccoli was more effective at slowing tumor growth than either tomato or broccoli alone. |

That is, if you own the land and run the corporations.

 Because, of course, if the vegetable pie product didn't contain any hidden ingredients, wouldn't they proclaim it on the label by saying, "No hidden ingredients"?
It's a suspicious company that would use hidden ingredients on some foods while proclaiming "no hidden ingredients" on others. It's almost like admitting that the boxes lacking that statement are using hidden ingredients, don't you think?

 Synthetic fats: margarine, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, vegetable shortening, and olestra and otherfatsubstitutes. High levels of saturated fats.
When cooking or baking: moderate amounts of healthy monounsaturated fats (olive oil or canola oil) and saturated fats (organic butter or coconut oil). If not heated: unsaturated oils (corn, safflower, soy, and flaxseed oil). Always use cold-pressed oils that are fresh; rancid oils can be harmful.
Commercial nuts and seeds with added oil, sugar, or salt. Also beware of peanuts. |

 The protein provides amino acids that are needed to make neurotransmitters, and both the protein and the vegetable fiber help to stabilize blood sugar levels. Stable blood sugar levels will reduce the risk of mood swings.
Avoid soft drinks sweetened with sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and other types of sugar (including "natural" sugars). In addition, stay away from deep-fried foods such as fried chicken and French fries. You will likely benefit from reducing your intake of caffeine (coffee and colas), energy drinks, and alcohol. |

| While the rice is cooking, dice the scallions and finely slice the carrot with a vegetable peeler.
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil and butter. When the butter sizzles, add the scallions and carrot and saute for about 1 minute. Add the pine nuts and continue sauteing for another minute. Add the shrimp and scallops and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until the shrimp turn slightly pink and the scallops white.
Add the jasmine rice and pesto to the wok and mix everything with a spatula until the seafood is dispersed and the rice absorbs some of the pesto. |
| Any packaged food that lists "partially hydrogenated" vegetable oils also contains trans fats. Furthermore, be aware that trans fats don't have to be listed on a label if there is less than one-half gram per serving—a "gotcha" because people commonly eat more than one serving at a meal. Incredible as it might sound, trans fats are far more hazardous than saturated fats.
