4、s such as potatoesis the bodys best weapon in thwarting many health related problems. These foods work against so many diseases that the same healthy ingredients you might use to protect your heart or ward off cancer will also benefit your intestinal tract and bones. Heres what is currently known ab

5、out these different disease-fighting foods. Cancer Fighters Preventing cancer is a compelling reason to lead up your cart in the produce department. Scientists have recently estimated that approximately 30 to 40 percent of all cancers could be averted if people ate more fruits, vegetables, and plant

6、 based foods and minimized high-fat, high-calorie edibles that have scant nutritional value. Up to 70 percent of cancers might be eliminated if people also stopped smoking, exercised regularly, and controlled their weight. In the past, researchers had linked fat consumption with the development of c

7、ancers, but they currently believe that eating fruits, vegetables, and grains may be more important in preventing the disease than not eating fat. “The evidence a bout a high-fat diet and cancer seemed a lot stronger several years ago than it does now,“ says Melanie Polk, a registered dietitian and

8、director of nutrition education at the American Institute for Cancer Research. Although scientists are still not certain about the specifics, theyre beginning to close in on the healthful constituents of plant-based foods. In particular, theyre looking closely at two componentsantioxidants and phyto

9、chemicals. Antioxidants. The antioxidants(carotenoids, such as beta carotene and lycopene, and vitamins C and E) found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods fight free radicals, which are compounds in the body that attack and destroy cell membranes. The uncontrolled activity of free rad

10、icals is believed to cause many cancers. The carotenoids, in particular, which give fruits and vegetables their bright yellow, orange, and red colors, are now gaining recognition for their nutritional worth. Numerous studies have extolled the virtues of lycopene(the carotenoid that makes tomatoes re

11、d) in preventing prostate cancer. One such study at Harvard University found that men who include tomato products in their meals twice a week could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer by one-third compared with men who never touch tomatoes. Other lycopene-rich foods, such as watermelon,

12、red grapefruit, and guava, are now piquing the interest of researchers. Watermelon not only yields more lycopene per serving(15 mg in 11/2 cups ) than raw tomatoes(11 mg per 11/2 cups), but its also a rich source of vitamins A and C. Can watermelon help reduce the incidence of cancer? No one knows f

13、or sure because there havent been sufficient studies. “We assume that well see benefits,“ says Penelope Perkins-Veazie, Ph.D. a research scientist with the USDAs Agricultural Research Service. Researchers there plan to compare people who eat watermelon with those who eat processed tomatoes-because c

14、ooking enhances lycopene absorption-to see which group absorbs more lycopene.(A 11/2 cup serving of tomato sauce packs 53 mg of lycopene.) Phytochemicals. The phytochemicals present in fruits and vegetables protect the body by stunting the growth of malignant cells. Phytochemicals, naturally occurri

15、ng substances, include indoles(生化 吲哚 ) in cabbage or cauliflower, sapenins(生化 皂角苷 ) in peas and beans, and isoflavones(异黄酮 ) in soy milk and tofu. Investigators have only an inkling of how many phytochemicals exist and how they work. They are confident, however, that you can get a basketful of ant-c

16、ancer nutrients by mixing and matching at least five servings a day of fruits and vegetables with seven or more starchy or protein-rich plant foods such as gains, peas and beans, and potatoes. Supplements can help you get some of the benefits of these substances, but they are no replacement for real

17、 food. “When you take a supplement, youre getting specific vitamins and minerals, but not the thousands of phytochemicals that might be present in fruits and vegetables,“ says registered dietitian Amy Jamicson of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio. “If you eat a sweet potato with its skin, whic

18、h is a great source of both beta carotene and fiber, youll consume at least 5,000 phytochemicals that arent present in a beta carotene supplement. Thats a really important difference.“ Bone-Building Foods The road to strong bones is paved with calcium-rich food. Leafy green vegetables and low fat da

19、iry products are excellent sources of calcium, the mineral that puts stiffness into your skeletal system and keeps your bones from turning rubbery and fragile. Your body uses calcium for more than keeping your bones strong. Calcium permits cells to divide, regulates muscle contraction and relaxation

20、, and plays an important role in the movement of protein and nutrients inside cells. If you dont absorb enough from what you eat to satisfy these requirements, your body will take it from your bones. Because your body doesnt produce this essential mineral, you must continually replenish the supply.

21、Even though the recommended daily amount is 1,200 mg, most adults dont eat more than 500 mg. One reason may have been the perception that calcium-rich dairy products were also loaded with calories. “In the past, women, in particular, worried that dairy products were high in calories,“ says Letha Y.

22、Griffin, M.D. of Peachtree Orthopaedics in Atlanta. “But today you can get calcium without eating any high-fat or high-calorie foods by choosing skim milk or low-fat yogurt.“ Also, low-fat dairy products contain phosphorous(磷 ) and magnesium(镁 ) and are generally fortified with vitamin D, all of whi

23、ch help your body absorb and use calcium. If you find it difficult to include enough calcium in your diet, ask your doctor about supplements. Theyre a potent way to get calcium as well as vitamin D and other minerals. But theres a downside. If you rely on pills in lieu of a calcium-rich diet, you wo

24、nt benefit from the other nutrients that food provides. Getting the recommended vitamin D may be easy, since your body makes the vitamin when your skin is exposed to the suns rays. 2 According to this passage, a diet high in plant-based foods plays an important role in fighting all kinds of diseases
