• Investigate the possibility of food allergies. See Food Allergy, page 146, for more information. If you have no success dealing with this on your own, see a doctor who specializes in nutritional medicine. Once you've identified a food allergy, you must be scrupulous in eliminating it from your diet. You may find that you're allergic to several foods or a whole category, such as dairy foods.
• Take special daily care of your skin and follow the skin care guidelines given above. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Like any other whole grain cereal, oats are high in fiber and contribute to the cholesterol-lowering effects of diets low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Whether oats are sufficiently different from other fiber sources to merit their own special health claim is far less evident. The potential marketing benefits—not the science—explain companies' persistent attempts to obtain FDA authorization for health claims. |

See book keywords and concepts |  When the bread basket is passed around, avoid white bread and crackers, but if you see whole grain bread or rolls, enjoy either one shce or just one roll, without butter. Ask to have your vegetables steamed and served without butter or cheese sauce. Don't add butter or sour cream to that baked potato. If you can't get the vegetables you want the way you want them prepared, have an extra large salad instead. Ask for the dressing on the side and use it sparingly—no more than one tablespoon. |

RED AND WHITE WINE. Red wine contains up to twenty times more flavonoids and related compounds than does white wine and ten times more than tea. These include quercetin, rutin, and catechin. Red wine also contains a potent antioxidant—reservatol—found also in peanuts. |

Optimal Use and Combining: Brown rice can ground almost any meal: a leafy green salad, a tempeh dinner dish, a vegetarian paella. Mix with beans for proteins and add dense, crunchy vegetables like broccoli, mushroom, and asparagus for flavor. For a snack, spread rice cakes with guacamole, salsa, hommus, or almond butter.

5. | | Furthermore, they are much lower in fiber than their whole grain equivalents. White rice, which many Americans consider to be a healthy food choice, actually has zero nutrients and zero fiber.
Processed carbohydrates pollute the body. They are not a "clean" food?they leave behind a pasty mucus that coats the respiratory, nervous, lymphatic, and digestive systems. This thick sludge causes disorders like constipation, spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome, and diverticulitis. White flour, as found in white bread, macaroni, and packaged breakfast cereals, can also be mucus-forming. | | Watermelon combines well with papaya and banana, but does not complement citrus fruits, apples, vegetables, or most grains (except for whole grain toast with nut butter). Watermelon juice, a powerful kidney cleanser, is the elemental drink of summer.

VEGETABLE PERSONALITIES
OUT mother knew what she was talking about when she told you to eat your vegetables. Potent, plant-based foods, vegetables are the key to a balanced nutritional program. In fact, the word "vegetable" comes from the Latin verb for "enliven. |
Elizabeth Somer, M.A., R.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Purchase those products that list whole wheat flour (not wheat flour), brown rice, oats, or another whole grain or grain product as the first ingredient. If the label on a loaf of bread, a box of crackers, a bag of cookies, or a package of frozen pancakes does not read 100 percent whole wheat flour, assume the item is made primarily from refined flour. (A slice of white bread has a fraction of the chromium, selenium, and several other nutrients found in a slice of whole wheat bread.)
Where's the Fat and Sugar?
Check the fat and sugar content on food labels. |
George R. Schwartz
See book keywords and concepts |  Just imagine a Monday morning when you give four couples or individual friends a large jar of homemade barbeque sauce that you spent two hours making on Sunday afternoon and you receive five loaves of whole grain bread, one gallon of soup, two quarts of salad dressing, and half a gallon of tomato sauce along with ajar of catsup. Not bad for two hours' work and a lot of fun among friends.

Once you have completed a three-day food diary, sit down with the three worksheets, take a colored marker, and highlight the
PowerFoods you ate during the course of those three days. | | O Eat a whole grain food or starchy vegetable at every meal. O Have at least one serving of legumes—all varieties of peas and beans, including the soybean—at lunch and/or dinner. O Garnish soups, stews, and salads with nuts and seeds, or have them, in moderation, as a snack.
Your adaptation of this basic formula constitutes your personal PowerFoods plan. Here's how the formula looks meal by meal. | | Or experiment with a different whole grain per week until you've gone from amaranth to quinoa, stopping at barley, kasha, and millet along the way.
Eating Out
You can and should follow your food plan no matter where you eat, even in restaurants. Start by assessing your hunger level before going out to eat. If you're moderately hungry, you can look forward to being in control of ordering a good meal that follows your personal food plan. If you're very hungry, have a low-calorie snack before leaving home. I call that "preventive eating. | | To get the real benefit of the whole grain, however, try rye berries. Cook them like brown rice, but for about 15 minutes longer. Since rye has a strong flavor, I like to mix it with brown rice, which I add after the rye has been cooking for 15 minutes.The result is a dish with a pleasant taste and texture, considerable nutrients, and powerful phytochemical supranutrients.
Buckwheat
Buckwheat is not just a pancake flour. Its robust flavor makes it a good accompaniment to such foods as onions and mushrooms, and it is a tasty meat stuffing or vegetable filling. |

I also might supplement the meal with egg or cheese, depending on the protein needs of the woman. Of course, there are variations for individual patients.
Following this general plan, this patient was pain-free at the end of one month. That was ten years ago. Right now she is pregnant with her second child, whereas before she was infertile. Natural hygiene has tremendous implications for endometriosis. |

The worst are highly processed (usually "instant"), and unhealthily endowed with natural and/or artificial sweeteners, sulfur dioxide, BHA, and a high sodium content. Such ingredients can negate the beneficial effects of oat bran, and post health risks for hypertensives and diabetics. (See section 116 for the differences between soluble and insoluble fiber. |

In the 20s, the Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded to Dr. Otto Warburg for discovering that malignant cells obtain their energy mainly from proteins and fats, while normal cells produce their energy almost exclusively from carbohydrates. Few indeed are those who make use of this vital information. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Check out the list of ingredients: it should lead with a whole grain or combination thereof. Ditch the cereals that have sugar as the first or second ingredient or contain any partially hydrogenated oils. Also avoid cereals based on milled corn, white rice, or any refined grains.
Oat cereals are a little fat-heavy with 3 grams of fat per serving, but since this is "good" fat it's okay by us. Cereals with raisins can fool you, as they have as much sugar as a frosted cereal, but this is fructose—low on the Glycemic Index—so it fits right in with a healthy eating pattern. |
Committee on Diet, Nutrition, and Cancer, Assembly of Life Sciences National Research Council
See book keywords and concepts |  The major categories of foods that provide dietary fiber are vegetables, fruits, and whole grain cereals.
Because of the complex composition of dietary fiber, the physiological functions and metabolic activity of its individual components have not been adequately studied. Most earlier analyses focused on the intake of so-called "crude fiber." Therefore, they generally underestimated the fiber content since crude fiber only determines cellulose and lignin. Consequently, early reports provided incomplete data on the amount and type of fiber consumed. |
Annemarie Colbin
See book keywords and concepts |  Yet, though the symptom of imbalance may be eliminated, the body is more stressed by such a juggling act than it would be if its owner stuck to the whole grain and avoided the constipation problem altogether.
Fragmentation affects foods not only on the cellular, but also on the chemical level. When wheat is refined into white flour, for example, not only does it lose its bran and germ, but some twenty nutrients are also lost or greatly reduced. Enriching the flour— which entails returning four of those twenty nutrients—does not solve the problem. | | Its limits and allowances vary for each person, so that it can range from total vegetarianism to the inclusion of even some red meat; from a high proportion of raw foods to a total avoidance of them; from 45 to 50 percent whole grain to maybe 5 to 10 percent. | | Whenever possible, eat in natural-foods restaurants and have some whole grain, such as brown rice, kasha, or millet. Even there, keep it simple: There is a lack of classical techniques in natural-foods cooking that allows chefs a tremendous freedom in creating new dishes. Some of those are delicious. Others can turn out to be very peculiar concoctions; when in doubt, you're better off with the simpler selections.
• In ethnic restaurants, you have a variety of choices. |
Gary Null, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Compared to processed rye, whole grain rye is power-packed with twice the protein, three times the phosphorous and calcium, four times the riboflavin, five times the iron and thiamine, six times the niacin, and seven times the potassium.
Whole rye berries or rye groats can be cooked in liquid and served as a porridge or side dish or sprouted for use in salads, soups, and on sandwiches. Cracked berries can be ground and cooked into a hot cereal somewhat like grits or ground into a meal to be used in combination with other flours. | | In addition, whole grain fibers, such as brown rice, contain zinc, for nourishment of the male reproductive system and repair of the body.
Oils Contrary to common trends, we all need some fat in our diets. A teaspoon a day of monounsaturated fats is essential for keeping the brain and heart functioning properly, for protecting our appearance, for raising HDL (good) cholesterol and lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol, and for keeping our hair and skin from becoming dry. Good sources of monounsaturated fats are olive oil and canola oil. | | Needless to say, whole grain products are always preferable to "refined" foods such as white breads and pastas.
