6. GOLDEN VEGGIES
Why: Just one serving of fiber-filled, deep-yellow-orange vegetables supplies five times the beta carotene you need daily to lower your cancer risk, defend against colds and other infections, and protect your skin from sun damage. The potassium in these veggies also keeps your heartbeat in sync and your blood pressure down.
How Much: Aim for two half-cup servings a day, the equivalent of one sweet potato, 12 canned apricot halves or a cup of butternut squash or carrots.
How: Try this sweet potato quickie from Somer's The Food & Mood Cookbook:
Cajun Sweet Potatoes
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick slices and toss with olive oil, Cajun seasoning and freshly ground pepper.
3. Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly brown and cooked through, but still slightly crunchy.
6.金色蔬菜
原因:僅僅一根富含纖維素,深黃橙色的蔬菜就可以供應5倍胡蘿卜素,它是你每日所需用來降低患癌癥的風險,抵御風寒和其它的感染,以及保護你的皮膚免受太陽的傷害。這些蔬菜中的鉀還可以讓你的心跳同步同時降低血壓。
分量:目標為一天2杯半,每天相當于1個甜薯,12個罐頭杏或者1杯巴特納特橙汁或胡蘿卜汁
