Functional Foods Boost Health, And They Taste Good Too...
Dear Reader,
Omega-3s with a side of antioxidants can be as good tasting as they are good for you. Eating plenty of seafood... Using olive oil in place of butter... Eating at at least 5 cups of fruits and veggies a day... all are solid suggestions that take advantage of so called functional foods.
Functional foods bring benefits beyond basic nutrition and are also thought
to
reduce the risk of dangerous diseases while promoting health. Experts, including
Katherine
Tallmadge, MA, RA, LD a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association, agrees
that those who eat plant-based diets are among the healthiest in the world.
Many scientists are supporting a concept known as food synergy - the way nutrients in the foods you eat interact with one another - might be the reason why a balanced diet full of fruits and veggies is so helpful to the body. As a result, research is less focused on a single nutrient or a group of nutrients, with more emphasis on the workings of a balanced, plant based diet full of nutrients and compounds that work together.
To get the most from any functional food...
- Buy produce picked at full ripeness and maximum color - indicating flavonoids.
- Cook your veggies in as little water as possible so you don't lose nutrients to cooking.
- Eat fish 1 to 2 times a week, especially cold water fish.
- Eat fat-soluble antioxidants such as lycopene and vitamins A and E with a little olive oil so your body is able to absorb the helpful nutrients.
And then there's this. A remarkable 2006 study on how fish affects health showed that a modest intake of fish cut the risk of dying from a heart attack by an amazing 36%.
So eating fish one or two times a week is going to give you a benefit as strong (or stronger) than any other food when it comes to heart health. The benefits seem to be most effective when you take in two specific omega-3 fats found in oily fish like salmon, trout and herring - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
And don't worry about the mercury reportedly in fish. For most of us, the omega-3 fats are far more beneficial, than any risk of danger from the mercury. If you're concerned, stay within the EPA and FDA suggested limit of 12 ounces of fish a week. Albacore tuna (white tuna) should be limited to 6 ounces each week.

Functional Foods Boost Health, And They Taste Good Too... Continued...
Omega-3s are also found in walnuts, flaxseed and canola oil. These good for you
fats from plant based sources come with alpha linolenic acid (ALA) that may have
heart healthy benefits.
To get the most from a balanced, healthy diet, you need to eat a wide variety
of fruits and veggies of all colors... think foods like leafy greens, broccoli,
tomatoes, watermelon, cauliflower, blueberries, carrots and bell peppers. Drinks
can include tea, coffee and red wine that have antioxidants that protect cells
from free radicals that you're exposed to as the result of natural processed
as well as pollutants in the environment.
And speaking of benefits, experts agree that it's best to eat functional foods
to get nutrients, instead of taking a supplement. Too much of a good thing is
dangerous. A 2007 report from the American Institute of Cancer Research recommends
against using supplements for protection against cancer. There have actually
been studies on beta-carotene, vitamin E and A suggesting that too much can raise
your risk of death.
If you have questions, talk to your doctor, or schedule time with a registered
dietician to create an eating plan that's right for your unique situation.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
