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:仅仅一根富含纤维素,深黄橙色的蔬菜就可以供应5倍胡萝卜素,它是你每日所需用来降低患癌症的风险,抵御风寒和其它的感染,以及保护你的皮肤免受太阳的伤害。这些蔬菜中的钾还可以让你的心跳同步同时降低血压。
分量:目标为一天2杯半,每天相当于1个甜薯,12个罐头杏或者1杯巴特纳特橙汁或胡萝卜汁
