The Healthy Foods You Aren’t Eatingbeets

Get Healthy By Adding These Items to Your Grocery List

There are many superfoods that never get bought.  Whether you have never heard of them or you just hadn't thought about them, put them on your table and improve your health -- without a prescription.

Beets - These roots are naturally sweeter than any other vegetable, which means they pack tons of flavor underneath their rugged exterior.  Beets are the equivalent of red spinach. This vegetable is one of the richest sources of folate and betaine which are nutrients that work together to lower your homocysteine levels.  Homocysteine is an inflammatory compound that damages your arteries and increases your risk of heart disease.  The betacyanins, the pigments in beets, are a potent cancer fighter in laboratory mice.  Beets are best eaten fresh or raw, because cooking reduces their antioxidant power. 

Cabbage - Cabbage is rich in nutrients and one cup of chopped cabbage has only 22 calories. Cabbage contains sulforaphane which is a chemical that increases the production of enzymes that combat free radicals and reduce your risk of cancer.

Cinnamon - Cinnamon helps control your blood sugar, which, in turn, reduces your risk of heart disease. USDA researchers reported that people with type-2 diabetes who ate 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon each day for 6 weeks reduced not only their blood sugar but also their triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. Cinnamon contains methylhydroxychalcone polymers which increase your cells' ability to metabolize sugar by up to 20 times.  Add it to your coffee or your oatmeal.

Goji berries - Goji berries have one of the highest ORAC ratings of any fruit.  The ORAC test measures antioxidant power. The sugars that make goji berries sweet reduce insulin resistance, which is a risk factor of diabetes.  

Guava - Guava has more lycopene than any other plant food including tomatoes and watermelon.  Lycopene is an antioxidant that fights prostate cancer. Guava also contains 63% more potassium than a medium banana, is rich in vitamin C, and it has 9 grams of fiber in one cup.

purslanePurslane - The FDA classifies purslane as a broad-leaved weed, but it is considered a vegetable or herb in many other countries. Purslane has more omega-3 fats than any other edible plant.  Omega-3 fats are good for the heart.. It also has 10 to 20 times more melatonin than an other fruit or vegetable.  Melatonin is an antioxidant that may inhibit cancer growth.  Add it to a salad and improve your health.

Plums, dried - Prunes contain high amounts of neochlorogenic and chlorogenic acids.  These are antioxidants that combat the superoxide anion radical which causes structural damage to your cells, and is thought to be one of the primary causes of cancer.

Pomegranate juice - A study showed that drinking just 2 ounces of pomegranate juice daily for a year decreased the systolic blood pressure by 21% and improved blood flow to the heart. Four ounces of pomegranate juice gives you 50% of your daily vitamin C requirement.

Pumpkin seeds - Pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium. Men with high levels of magnesium in their blood have a 40% lower risk of early death than those with the lowest levels.

Swiss chard - One-half cup of cooked Swiss chard provides a large amounts of the carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin.  Carotenoids protect your retinas from the damage of aging, because both nutrients, appear to accumulate in your retinas, where they absorb light rays that can damage your eyes.
