For a good source of vitamin C and potassium, try kiwifruit.

Ounce for ounce, it has more vitamin C than an orange and more potassium than a banana. It also supplies some folate, vitamin E and fiber, as well as carotenoids and flavonoids.

As reported kiwifruit has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may (like other fruits and vegetables) have cardiovascular and other health benefits.

Also called Chinese gooseberry, this green-fleshed furry fruit (technically, a berry) originated in China and was brought to New Zealand a century ago. It’s now grown in California, too. Golden kiwifruit, a newer variety, is sweeter and has slightly more vitamin C. Some people are allergic to kiwifruit, however.

A Few super-Simple Tips for Cooking Poultry

Serve up chicken as a main dish as often as you like, but also use it to add protein to salads and pasta. A boneless chicken breast is like a blank canvas. Get as creative as you like!

A few cooking tips for poultry

The possibilities are endless, but here are a few easy suggestions.
Marinate your chicken in three other good-for-you foods — olive oil, lemon or lime juice, and minced garlic — to make it tasty and tender. Add chopped mild green chiles to take it up a notch. Marinate for at least two hours, then grill or sauté.

Sauté sliced chicken tenders in olive oil and garlic and add to pizza.
Keep grilled chicken breast or turkey slices from the deli in the fridge so you can throw them over salad greens for an easy, high-protein lunch.

Stir-fry or sauté your chicken and add any of these other foods that help keep blood sugar low and have other nutritional benefits: curry powder; broccoli; peaches; apples; almonds, peanuts, or cashews; sesame seeds; spinach; tomatoes; onions and garlic.
Whip up a tasty bowl of chicken fried rice with cooked brown rice, chicken breast strips, egg, sliced scallions, chopped red pepper, soy sauce, ground ginger and crushed garlic. Quickly stir-fry in canola oil.

Make a light version of chicken salad by using half low-fat mayo and half fat-free yogurt. Add scallions, dill, mustard and lemon juice for extra flavor. Serve over fresh crunchy lettuce.

Controlling portion sizes
A serving of chicken is 85 grams (three ounces) if you eat it twice a day or 170 grams (six ounces) if you eat it once a day.
For easy portion control, try chicken breast tenders, small strips of skinless chicken breast perfect for stir-frying. Typically, two or three tenders equal about one 85-gram (three ounce) serving.
Bulk up your stir-fry with plenty of vegetables — and serve it over brown rice, of course.

Keep the doctor away
Got a cold? Homemade chicken soup really can help.
Researchers have discovered that it can boost levels of immune cells that lessen inflammation, possibly cutting short a cold.
Clearly, the benefits of adding poultry to your diet are undeniable. Do your best to work it in to your weekly meal plan!

Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables

It's common knowledge that eating fruits and vegetables are good for us. They are chock full of antioxidants, which protect your body’s cells from damage. Read on to learn about the benefits of the antioxidant phytochemicals in our food.

1. ORAC scores
Antioxidants in food are measured by their ORAC scores. ORAC refers to the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, an analysis that is used to measure the total antioxidant power of foods and other chemical substances. The higher the ORAC score, the greater its antioxidant capacity.

This is a laboratory measurement and its relevance to the diet is unclear. Demonstrating that a substance neutralizes free radicals in a test tube and showing that it prevents disease are quite different matters. ORAC scores listed are for 100 gram (3 1⁄2 ounce) servings

Prunes 5,770
Raisins 2,830
Blueberries 2,400
Kale 1,770
Strawberries 1,540
Spinach 1,260
Raspberries 1,220
Brussels sprouts 980
Plums 949
Broccoli florets 890
Beets 840
Oranges 750
Grapes 739
Red peppers 710
Cherries 67O
Kiwi 602
Onions 450
Corn 400
Eggplant 390
Carrots 210

2. Key antioxidants

Researchers have investigated and identified literally hundreds of antioxidant phytochemicals in our food, from vitamins to pigments, that protect against disease, and the list continues to grow.

Here are the main ones:

Vitamin C
Function: protects against heart disease, cataracts, macular degeneration and some types of cancer.
Found in: citrus fruit, tomatoes, melon, strawberries, kiwi, sweet peppers, broccoli.

Vitamin E
Function: may help prevent heart disease and prostate cancer and slow progression of Alzheimer's.

Carotenoids; beta-carotene
Function: protective against cancer, particularly lung cancer, and heart disease.
Found in: orange and dark green vegetables, including carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, broccoli, kale, spinach, apricots, peaches and cantaloupe.
Lutein; zeaxanthin
Function: protects against macular degeneration.
Found in: dark green leafy vegetables, corn, sweet peppers, spinach, cabbage, oranges.
Lycopene
Function: may protect against prostate cancer, lung cancer and heart disease.
Found in: tomatoes, pink grapefruit, watermelon.
Flavonoids; anthocyanidins

Found in: blueberries, cherries, cranberries, blackberries, black currants, plums, red grapes.
Hesperidin
Function: protective against heart disease and cancer.
Found in: citrus fruits and juices.
Isoflavones
Function: protective against heart disease and cancer.
Found in: soy, legumes, peanuts.
Quercetin
Function: protective against heart disease and cancer.
Found in: onions, apples, berries, red grapes, kale, broccoli, red wine.
Selenium
Function: may help prevent prostate cancer, colon cancer and lung cancer.
Found in: whole grains, nuts, Swiss chard, onions, garlic, poultry, seafood, meat.
Co-enzyme Q10
Function: may help reduce risk of heart disease. Works together with vitamin E.

Found in: all plants and animal foods.

3. A word of warning
Smokers who take high-dose beta-carotene supplements actually increase their chances of developing lung cancer, according to the results of two large medical trials. Ongoing studies continue to stress that everyone should get beneficial antioxidants the old-fashioned way — by eating their fruits and vegetables.
