Commonly found chemicals, such as PCBs, solvents, insecticides, and drugs, can dramatically drain body stores of vitamin A and other antioxidants by increasing its usage and excretion. Our exposure to toxins has dramatically increased our demand for these tissue-protecting antioxidants. This can lead to an increased instance of many diseases. | | Vitamin C is naturally found in peppers, citrus fruits, tomatoes, melons, broccoli, and green leafy vegetables such as spinach, and turnip and mustard greens. However, don't rely on eating an orange a day to give you enough of this nutrient as one study showed that "fresh" oranges bought from some vendors contained no vitamin C at all due to to the excessive amount of time they had been stored. So to ensure you get all the vitamin C you need, it's best to supplement your diet. | | Food sources of omega-3 fatty acids include nuts, seeds, vegetables, beans, and fruits; vegetable oils such as canola, flaxseed, soybean, walnut, and wheat germ; and salmon, halibut, sardines, albacore, trout, and herring. Other foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids include shrimp, clams, chunk light tuna, catfish, cod, and spinach. But, because many people have a low intake of foods that contain high levels of these nutrients, a daily supplement is advisable. Most omega-3 supplements contain a small amount of omega-6 oils as well, so it is not necessary to take an extra omega-6 supplement. |

See book keywords and concepts |  This is followed by short chapters on the food value and characteristics of each of the main categories of food plants (cereals, nuts, fruits, vegetables, beverages, sugar and starch, culinary herbs and spices). As a quick and easy reference source, the main plants of each category are listed alphabetically by their common names and the botanical names (under which they are listed in the main part) are also given.
Most of the book comprises short treatments of 354 food plants (and their close relatives), including photographs of the plants and the parts that are used. | | It includes more than 350 different plants that are sources of cereals, nuts, fruits, vegetables, beverages, sugars and starches, cooking herbs, spices and flavours.
The book is intended to provide quick answers to a wide range of questions about food plants - how to identify them, how to use them in cooking and their nutritional value. For each plant, a short, scientifically accurate summary is given of the characteristics of the plant, its origin and history, the parts that are used, brief notes on cultivation and harvesting and especially the culinary uses and nutritional value. | | List of common root, tuber and bulb vegetables achira (Canna edulis) air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera) amicho (see enset) beetroot (Beta vulgaris var. | | There are numerous close relatives that are popular root and leaf vegetables, especially in Japan. Perhaps best known are "Japanese tender greens" which belong to the Komatsuna group of B. rapa. They are similar to turnip but do not form thick roots - the young plants are harvested and used as salad or in stir-fries. Turnip is often confused with the similar-looking swede or rutabaga (B. napus var. napobrassica). Two other turnip types are grown as oilseeds (in the same way as rapeseed or 'Canola' - see B. napus). These are biennial turnip rape (usually referred to as B. rapa subsp. |

The first thing that the smoothies did for me was help me not crave junk food. I think bad cravings are from nutritional deficiencies. When those deficiencies are met, then the cravings go away. We should always listen to our cravings. That is one of the first questions I ask clients when they come to see me. I think smoothies are a key factor in more people becoming raw. |

In the 1960s Welsh scientists and physicians reported that pregnant women eating diets low in the B vitamin folic acid (found in leafy green vegetables) had a high risk of giving birth to infants with a serious birth defect called spina bifida. It took a number of years, but researchers eventually realized that some of the women had genetic weaknesses that interfered with how their bodies processed folic acid, thus increasing the risk of birth defects. |

This man had worked in the produce section for more than ten years. He suggested that the produce section be divided into several different smaller groups of plant foods with specific similarities, like roots (carrots, beets, daikon, etc.) flowers (broccoli, cauliflower, artichoke, etc.) and non-sweet fruit (cucumber, zucchini, squash, tomato, etc.). |

• Finally, add interest to your fruit bowl with figs, muscadines, pumellos, persimmons, star fruit, or mangoes.
If you want to try this diet, talk to your doctor or nutritionist. They can give you more details and supervise your diet so you don't leave any important nutrients out.

See book keywords and concepts | | Instead of making myself a huge salad consisting of multiple chopped vegetables, a large avocado, sea salt, lots of onion and olive oil, I now chopped a bunch of lettuce with a tomato, sprinkled it with lemon juice and enjoyed it tremendously, rolling my eyes and humming with pleasure. I did not miss my former food, and felt completely satisfied eating so simply. Now I knew that the human body can learn to crave greens!
There was another change that astounded me. I used to have cravings for unhealthy foods when I got tired. |

It helps to follow recipes that are straightforward, but feel free to modify ingredients (particularly spices) to suit your tastes. If you have not done a lot of cooking, it may take you several months to become truly comfortable in the kitchen. But along the way you will gain a sense of accomplishment and confidence from the tasty meals you create. |

See book keywords and concepts | | However, greens are not vegetables and greens are not starchy. In fact, greens are the only food group that helps digest other foods through stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes. Thus, greens can be combined with any other foods. In addition, it has been recorded that chimpanzees often consume fruits and leaves off of the same tree at the same feeding time. In fact, Jane Goodall and other researchers have observed them rolling fruits inside of leaves and eating them as "sandwiches. |

Colonel Paul Logan of the National Restaurant Association has quoted an association survey indicating that "three out of four of all good restaurant operators are now using Glutamate" (Glutamate Manufacturers' Technical Committee Publication: The Value of Glutamate in Processed Foods). Inquiries by my staff in 1987 to hundreds of franchised restaurants, cafeterias, and individual restaurants about their use of MSG brought a variety of responses. | | It combines organic, freeze-dried vegetables and fruits into a potent disease-fighting powder that you can add to all sorts of recipes.
Supplementing your diet with whole food concentrates is the only way to get a sufficient quantity of phytochemicals into your diet, because these whole food complexes are nutrient dense. The water has been removed from them, and the resulting powder contains far more phytonutrients per ounce than the raw plant. Generally speaking, dehydrating plants removes 90 percent of their weight, and a considerable portion of their volume as well. | | When a low-fat diet based on complex carbohydrates such as unrefined grains, vegetables, and legumes is followed for several weeks, approximately 80 percent of diabetics can stop taking insulin and diabetic pills altogether, and the remaining 20 percent can reduce their intake.
The ugly politics of sugar, medicine, junk food and diabetes
In The Protein Power Lifeplan, authors Michael Eades, M.D., and Mary Dan Eades, M.D., describe the amazing story of how Western medicine has, for many years, actually been treating diabetes by recommending high-carb diets! | | My own diet consists of ingredients and foods like coconut oil, unsweetened soy milk, oat bran, stevia, rice protein, eggs, fresh or frozen vegetables, shrimp and seafood, avocados, healthy oils like flax oil and guacamole, hummus, bean sprouts, tofu and a limited amount of fresh fruits. Some people may consider these to be expensive food items, but they are a fraction of the price of many manufactured products, and they are certainly far cheaper than the medical costs associated with diseases like diabetes and heart disease (which are caused by processed foods). | | There's good news, however: I'll show you how to get more of these into your diet without having to wolf down pounds of vegetables each day!
No one has yet turned up any potent health-enhancing phytochemicals in steak, milk, or Twinkies.
Phytochemicals are of critical importance to your overall health. |

A diet of organic foods is preferable, as well as one that contains a good level of raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables. These will help keep the body's pH level alkaline, something that helps to enhance chemical detoxification.

The data currently available on the anti-cancer potential of the garlic family suggest that these vegetables may play an important role in the prevention of cancers of the digestive system, especially esophageal, stomach, and colon cancers.
The first indications of a possible preventive role for garlic in the case of stomach cancer came from studies conducted in northeast China's Yangzhong province, where this type of cancer is especially prevalent. |

Massive amounts of research on dietary fiber have been done all around the world since the beginning of the last century. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Under the heading "Food Groups to Encourage" are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods are glaringly deficient in the diets of most Americans, many of whom don't even know what a whole grain is or where to find one. You can't go to the supermarket and ask the shop clerk for the whole-grain aisle, but you can easily find the potato-chip aisle or the cookie aisle or the soda aisle.
Americans have become accustomed to eating highly processed foods that come in a package—the antithesis of whole foods that come from nature. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Mediterranean diets are usually characterized by abundant plant foods (fruits, vegetables, breads, nuts, seeds, wine, and olive oil). Red wine has drawn particular interest due to the positive correlation between its consumption and the lower risk for CVD, known as the French paradox: in the 1990s, residents of Toulouse, France, who consume their alcohol largely in the form of red wine, were found to have a very low mortality rate from CVD, despite a fat consumption rate similar to that in the United States. | | In addition to cereals and vegetables, medicinal plants were cultivated too in the fertile soils near the Nile. Remains of Aloe and Sinapis species, Artemisia absinthium, and Cannabis indica have been found in ancient tombs.2 In the fourth and fifth century B.C., specific cultures of Inula helenium, Pimpinella anisum, Cnicus benedictus, Corian-drum sativum, and Thymus serpillum have been mentioned.3 One of the oldest cultivated medicinal plants of the world seems to be poppy (Papaver somniferum), according to written papers dating from 2700 B.C. | | Many were—and still are—consumed as foodstuffs, with different categories: vegetables (onion, garlic, and leek, for example), cereals (barley and wheat), condiments (origanum, sage, coriander), or fruits (pomegranate and fig). Others, instead, were—and still are—typical of the Mediterranean biota. Pomegranate, cypress, laurel, fig tree, and olive tree contribute to create the maquis, garigue, and thicket of the Mediterranean area, with the perfume they emanate at the end of a hot summer day. Parsley, fennel, and anise, instead, punctuate open spaces with their high stems and their umbels. | | Accordingly, phenolics-rich crops such as grapes, olives, and heavily pigmented vegetables are particularly abundant in the Mediterranean area, where the combination of heat and light radiation stimulates plant antioxidant defenses. In addition to phenolic compounds, legumes (soybeans, peanuts, beans, and peas) contain flavonoids, isoflavonoids, isoflavones, coumestans, lignans, and other molecules, some of which also act as estrogenic agonists/antagonists; such compounds have been suggested to contribute to reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
