NEW YEAR HEALTH TIPS -- 1
THE SALAD IS THE MAIN THING.
The word SALAD means any "unccoked" vegetable. Think big when it comes to salad.
Raw vegetables should be eaten in large quantities at the beginning of each main meal. The more raw vegetables you eat, the less you will desire of everything.
Raw vegetables are the wealthiest, most weight-loss promoting foods you can eat. Use variety of raw vegetables in your salads. In addition to plenty of lettuce, include tomatoes, shredded beets, carrots, cucumbers, and peppers. You can also add any leftover steamed greens on top of lettuce salad, some defrosted frozen peas, stewed mushrooms, or a handful of beans.
The increased production of the biologically active phytochemicals in raw vegetables is consistent with the studies that show a radically lower risk of cancer in people who consume more raw greens in their diet. For those in the know, eating lots of raw greens is the most important nutritional intervention to prevent common human cancer.
Eat not only lots of raw greens everyday but also big portions of cooked green vegetables. Remember, if it's a vegetable with the colour green, it is rich in MICRONUTRIENTS and low in calories. When you fill up with high-volume, high-nutrient foods that have a high micronutrients content, you will not feel the need to overeat foods that sabotage your health and weight.
The added benefits include protection against HEART ATTACKS, and CANCER. Of course, green vegetables are the food that shows the most PROTECTION from DIABETES.too.
How great is that!
