Turn your food choices into antioxidant, fiber, and nutrient powerhouses.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Blueberries
Brown rice
Whole grain pasta
Tea
Almonds
Vegetable juice

Warning: Never change your diet without first consulting your physician.

Step 1: Eat blueberries

Add blueberries to breakfast cereal or yogurt, or make blueberry pancakes. Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and phytoflavinoids, as well as containing high levels of potassium and vitamin C. They can lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, and are also anti-inflammatory.

Step 2: Substitute brown rice and whole grain pasta

Substitute brown rice for white; or whole grain pasta for refined flour pasta or potatoes. Rice is versatile and can be added to soups and stews, used as a side dish, or in casseroles. Whole grains lower the risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and obesity.

Step 3: Drink tea

Drink tea. Black or green, hot or iced, tea is a great source of antioxidants. Instead of sugary soda, have unsweetened iced tea. Green tea contains ECGC, which is not only a powerful antioxidant, but can also inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Tip: If you're not used to eating a healthful diet, start slowly by introducing two new super foods each week.

Step 4: Add almonds

Add almonds to salads, yogurt, rice, or cereal. Almonds have more calcium than any other nut. One serving of almonds provides half of the Recommended Dietary Allowance of vitamin E.

Step 5: Drink vegetable juice

Drink vegetable juice. The juice has most of the nutrients in the original vegetables and is an easy way to keep vegetables in your diet.

“Here is an article on how poor the quality standards are for Whole Foods Markets. They claim to be on top of the ingredients found in their products, but here is an example of how they continue to sell a product that is harmfull to the environment and not organic at all.
