See book keywords and concepts |  Unless we have hypoglycemia, it is an aid to the digestive system to cut down to three meals a day with only juices or an occasional piece of fruit or vegetable between meals. Chewing our food well and creating a peaceful, joyful atmosphere in which to eat and to digest our food for ten to fifteen minutes after the meal immediately improves digestion.
There are several major stages of transition diets. Each stage may take as little as one season in the yearly cycle, or it may take years. It is the responsibility of each of us to choose our own rate of transition. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Let's get one thing straight: there is not a single fruit or vegetable that is able to manufacture cholesterol—this process is confined to the animal kingdom (see chapter eight). Although avocados do contain fats, they are unsaturated fats that are easy to digest and contain essential fatty acids that help the hormonal system to function properly and can actually help you lose weight.
Avocados are also extremely nutritious, containing fourteen minerals, eleven vitamins, and a high percentage of protein for a fruit. (Yes, avocado is a fruit although we do tend to eat it as a vegetable. |

See book keywords and concepts | | As many of the pesticides penetrate the entire fruit or vegetable and cannot be washed off, it is obviously best to buy organic foods.
Many supermarket chains and produce suppliers are employing their own testing measures for determining the pesticide content of produce and are refusing to stock foods that have been treated with some of the more toxic pesticides, such as alachlor, captan, or EBDCs (ethylene bisdithiocarbamates). In addition, many stores are asking growers to disclose all pesti-

Learning Factors Daily Nutrient Boost Smoothie Mix
LJi. Lyon, with the help of Natural Factors, developed an innovative and delicious way to get kids of all ages (even adults) to enjoy high-quality nutrition. |
Tanya Harter Pierce
See book keywords and concepts |  These dangerous substances cannot be completely removed by washing the fruit or vegetable before eating it because they are absorbed into the fruit or vegetable as it grows. This happens in large part as a result of the pesticides being washed into the soil around the crops and then being absorbed by the plants along with water and other nutrients from the soil.
Thus, no matter how much we wash our fruits and vegetables, we will be eating pesticides unless we buy only "organic" produce from reputable sources. |

Note: Always take this product separately from other supplements and medications.
(_ Alfalfa, taken in capsule or liquid form, supplies vitamin K and chlorophyll, needed for healing. Take it as directed on the product label three times daily.

See book keywords and concepts |  This is not juice; this is a liquefied fruit or vegetable. It's not bad, but it is not juice. That's why I recommend a juice extractor. For those of you who want more convenience, as I mentioned in last month's newsletter, you can enjoy mangosteen juice, goji juice, or noni juice. Although these juices are in many cases reconstituted or come from concentrate and are pasteurized, they are still packed with incredible amounts of vitamins, minerals, and cofactors and are very effective ways of handling your nutritional deficiencies. | | When you then take that natural piece of fruit or vegetable, it is loaded with toxic chemicals. It also has much less nutritional value than it would have fifty or sixty years ago. It has been said that you would need to eat up to five times the amount of food your grandparents did just to receive the same nutritional value. That's why if you are going to eat fruits and vegetables—or any food for that matter—which I highly encourage of course, they must be organically grown. Grains such as rice and wheat are the same. You need to be buying organically grown food. |
Patrick Holford
See book keywords and concepts |  Have half a pint of fruit or vegetable juice a day—either carrot and apple juice (you can buy these two separately and combine them with one-third water) with grated ginger or fresh watermelon juice. The flesh of the watermelon is high in beta-carotene and vitamin C. The seeds are high in vitamin E and the antioxidant minerals zinc and selenium. You can make a great antioxidant cocktail by blending flesh and seeds in a blender. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A look at the calorie content of a glass of fruit or vegetable juice confirms theit fat-inducing effects. For those persons who are concerned about obtaining adequate folic acid, vitamin C, alpha carotene, etc., these nutrients can be obtained by eating whole fruits and vegetables and by taking supplements.
As can be seen in this section, foods that were once considered part of a healthy "low-fat diet" have a very high glycemic index and glycemic load. This means that ingesting too many of these types of foods could cause weight gain, even if you think you are eating a healthy diet. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Morning:
Several 6-8 ounce glasses of fresh fruit or vegetable juices. (In place of or after master cleanser.) These can be diluted with water, up to half. Apples, grapes, and some lemon make a great fruit juice mix. Fresh grapes and freshly made organic grape juice are also favorites and a healing cleanse program.
Lunch:
(Noon-1 p.m.) A 12-ounce glass of fresh vegetable, Master Cleanser, or fruit juice. Snack:
(3 p.m.) 6-12 ounces of fresh vegetable juice.
Carrot, beet, and celery are great together. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Each colored fruit or vegetable provides a unique benefit to the diet, so you don't want to eat only fruits and vegetables of a single color. Each fruit or vegetable—whether red, yellow, green, or purple—provides a benefit that is sometimes concentrated in a particular part of the body or uses a specific pathway within your body to provide its healthful effects. You will learn how to add different fruits and vegetables to your diet by using my Color Code, which is based on the specific beneficial substances that help to prevent the common diseases that affect many of us as we get older. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A small but mighty nutritional force, the blueberry combines more powerful disease-fighting antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. As one positive report after another has come out on blueberries, the media have taken to calling them "brain berries" and "youth berries," and they certainly deserve the good press: just one serving of blueberries provides as many antioxidants as five servings of carrots, apples, broccoli, or squash. In fact, % cup of blueberries gives you the same antioxidant protection as 1,733 IU of vitamin E and more protection than 1,200 milligrams of vitamin C. |

Laurie Deutsch Mozian, M.S., R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  A standard serving of fruit or vegetable consists of either one-half cup cooked, fresh, canned, or frozen fruit or vegetable or three-quarters cup of juice. For fresh fruits, a serving size is a fruit about the size of a baseball. For salad greens, a serving size is 1 cup. For dried fruits or vegetables, one-quarter cup fills the requirement for a serving.
All fruits and vegetables contain phytochemicals. Every spoonful of grapefruit might have hundreds of phytochemicals. Some haven't even been discovered yet. Try to stick with locally grown produce in season. |
Bradley J. Willcox, M.D., D. Craig Willcox, Ph.D., Makoto Suzuki, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  A ripe fruit or vegetable has a higher sugar content than one that is still green or immature and therefore has a higher glycemic index.
Type of starch The type of starch granules in a food influences how fast the carbohydrates are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream. For example, the main starch in white potatoes, known as amylopectin, is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream fairly quickly, whereas amylose, which is relatively higher in sweet potatoes, is not. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Combine herbal teas and one-third cup unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice for speed-healing. Drink at least six glasses of liquid during the day. Do not drink liquids with meals, only before or after.
Before Retiring
Give yourself a lemon cleansing enema. (See page 27.) If you normally take calcium supplements, continue taking them. You can also take vitamin E, but you should omit other vitamin supplements while cleansing.
Day 2
The second day's program helps the body to begin flushing out toxins and accelerate the healing process. |

There are two new carotenoids on the scene with promising health benefits: phytoene and phytofluene are both found in tomatoes and tomato products. Phytoene has been shown to possess antioxidant capabilities and also anti-carcinogenic action. More study needs to be done, but preliminary work indicates that they play a role in tomatoes' ability to combat cancer and other diseases. |
Elson M. Haas, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Fresh fruit or vegetable juices diluted with equal amounts of water will also stimulate cleansing. Some good vegetable choices are carrots, celery, beets, and greens. Soup broths can also be used. Juices with blue-green algae, spirulina, or chlorella provide more energy, as they contain quality protein (amino acids) and are easily assimilated.
Fasting can also be done in other seasons. Summer with the warm weather is a good time to do ten days. Winter cleansing can be one day per month or longer, but warming diets, such as brown rice, vegetables, and miso soup can also be helpful. |

See book keywords and concepts | | You should reintroduce your body to food with fruit or vegetable juice or a small portion of an easily digested fruit or vegetable like watermelon or steamed zucchini. Too much food at once can cause stomach cramps or even lead to ulcers. During a fast, your digestive juices decline, and they'll need some time to get back up to speed, says Dr. Fuhrman.
A Slow Return from Fasting
When people fast, especially for the first time, they often make the mistake of breaking their fast too quickly, say fasting experts. One reason: They may be frightened by the physical changes they are undergoing. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Fresh rose petals and leaves tossed either in or on top of a fruit or vegetable salad provide elegance as well as extra nutrition. Petals can also be used in omelets, fried in batter, crystallized, or made into jam. The Arab countries have many sweets made with roses, and in the eighteenth century there was a rage for dousing everything with rosewater, from meats to sauces. Make sure any rose petals or hips you use come from unsprayed roses.
Health Benefits
Antiscorbutic. Rose hips are an important source of vitamin C. | | No other fruit or vegetable has such mass appeal. Cherry tomatoes, because of their small size, are perfect for tossing whole into salads. Sun-dried tomatoes have an explosively concentrated flavor that provides a tremendous boost to many dishes. One other very important application for the tomato (or tomato juice) is as a neutralizer for butyl mercaptan, the nose-shriveling prime ingredient in the defense spray of skunks.
Health Benefits pH 3.50^1.90. Tomatoes are over 93 percent water. | | Ftesh leaves provide a slightly sweet, zesty accent to fruit or vegetable soups and green salads. Dried ground leaves reduce the need for sweetenet in making pies or sauces and add zip to desserts and pastries. The dried ground root has a taste similat to the leaves but is bolder and earthier; this flavor works well in yeasted and quick breads, cakes, muffins, and cookies.
Health Benefits
Aromatic, carminative, expectorant, stimulant, stomachic, tonic. Angelica has been highly regarded in Europe and Asia for centuries because of its medicinal ptoperties. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Those with acute infections should have only fresh fruit or vegetable juice until health improves and good appetite returns.
If you suspect your body is overloaded with chemicals or that your liver's ability to detoxify is reduced, do only mild fasts initially, such as the rice diet and raw food diet. Also supply yourself with plenty of sulfur in the form of MSM (see part 3) or, alternatively, use onions, raw egg yolk, and possibly the amino acids cysteine and methionine, or even powdered sulfur. Regular cleansing is the more important the older and physically less active you are. |

See book keywords and concepts | | When peeling fruits and vegetables, wash the rind and the knife before cutting the fruit—otherwise, the knife could transfer bacteria (or pesticide residue) from the peeling or rind to the interior of the fruit or vegetable.
Wash cutting boards thoroughly after cutting meat and before cutting fruit and vegetables. It is wise to keep two separate cutting boards, one for meat and one for plant food. Wooden boards may be microwaved to kill bacteria. Plastic boards can be run through a dishwasher cycle. |
Francisco, M.D. Contreras
See book keywords and concepts | | A serving equals one-half cup of fruit or vegetables, a cup of raw leafy vegetables, a medium-sized piece of raw fruit, or 170 grams of fruit or vegetable juice. It is best to eat the fruit and vegetables raw. Cooking destroys nutrients, except phytochemicals, which are not affected in the preparation of food.
Scientists recently found that people in northern Italy who ate seven or more servings of raw tomatoes (containing the phytochemical lycopene) every week had 60% less chance of developing colon, rectal and stomach cancer than those who ate two servings or less. |
