Hello all readers. I want you all to know that Vegan Peace Blog will currently be on a hopefully short hiatus again. A lot has been going on, I will keep you all up to date! Thank you, and vegan peace.
Look at my past blog posts for vegan information, resources, and links. E-mail me me if you have any suggestions for new posts, questions on this blog or veganism or questions regarding this post or know any more sites relating to this post.Avihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04456361611723845542noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006707942525968886.post-50551443086683845022012-02-12T10:05:00.001-06:002012-02-12T10:09:17.638-06:00Vegan Valentine's Day 2012Saint Valentine's Day, is a holiday observed on February 14 honoring one or more early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards. The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Below are links to Valentine recipes, gifts, and ideas for

Since the Super Bowl premiered in 1967, it has become one of the most-watched television broadcasts in America. Super Bowl Sunday is also the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. So for that, below are some links to great vegan recipes and snack ideas! Just like last year, first listed are snacks based on the two teams staring in the Super Bowl (based on state/city/colors). Then, listed next are snacks that are quite popular for tailgating and parties! These vegan foods are a great way to show non-vegans that they wouldn't miss a thing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Team Recipes:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">For New York Giants Fans:</span><br /><a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/new-york-style-pizza/" target="_blank">New York Style Pizza</A> (use vegan cheese)<br /><a href="http://vegspinz.blogspot.com/2011/05/vegan-new-york-style-cheesecake.html" target="_blank">Vegan New York Style Cheesecake</A><br /><a href="http://vegweb.com/index.php?board=513.0" target="_blank">VegWeb Onion Soup</A><br /><a href="http://olivesfordinner.blogspot.com/2011/05/vegan-french-onion-soup.html" target="_blank">Vegan French Onion Soup</A><br /><a href="http://www.neverhomemaker.com/2011/02/very-vegan-french-onion-soup.html" target="_blank">Very Vegan French Onion Soup</A><br /><a href="http://www.lapuremama.com/2010/09/vegan-soft-pretzels.html" target="_blank">Vegan Soft Pretzels </A><br /><a href="http://www.chooseveg.com/display_recipe.asp?recipe=288" target="_blank">Peanut Butter Pretzels</A><br /><a href="http://chetroy.com/healthyvegan/?p=95" target="_blank">Vegan Soft Pretzels</A><br /><a href="http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/03/homemade-sausages.html" target="_blank">Vegan Dad Homemade Sausages</A><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wmNlHOfSrA" target="_blank">Video: Spicy Italian Vegetarian Sausage</A><br /><a href="http://www.theppk.com/2012/01/vegan_sausage/" target="_blank">TPPK Simple Italian Sausages</A><br /><a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/bourbon-manhattan-a-classic-cocktail-331226" target="_blank">Bourbon Manhattan</A><br /><a href="http://dairyfreecooking.about.com/od/fingerfoods/r/Recipe_BagelChips.htm" target="_blank">Bagel Chips</A><br /><a href="http://veganarch.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-york-shack-burger-crackers.html" target="_blank">New York Shack Burger Crackers</A><br /><a href="http://veganarch.blogspot.com/2012/02/vegan-beer-pastrami-sandwich.html" target="_blank">Vegan Beer Pastrami Sandwich</A><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots Fans:</span><br /><a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/hot-spiced-new-england-cider-402935" target="_blank">Hot Spiced New England Cider</A><br /><a href="http://runningwithtongs.com/2010/04/11/recipe-vegan-lobster-roll/" target="_blank">Vegan “Lobster” Roll</A><br /><a href="http://www.chooseveg.com/display_recipe.asp?recipe=53" target="_blank">"Lobster" Bisque</A><br /><a href="http://low-cholesterol.food.com/recipe/new-england-harvest-cranberry-pumpkin-bread-152162" target="_blank">New England Harvest Cranberry Pumpkin Bread</A><br /><a href="http://www.whatwouldcathyeat.com/2010/07/vegetarian-boston-baked-beans/" target="_blank">Vegetarian Boston Baked Beans</A><br /><a href="http://veganthyme.blogspot.com/2011/03/vegan-boston-cream-pie-how-southern-gal.html" target="_blank">Vegan Boston Cream Pie</A><br /><a href="http://bakeanddestroy.net/2011/11/boston-hardcore-pie-happy-birthday-cm-punk/" target="_blank">Boston Hardcore Pie</A><br /><a href="http://yeahthatveganshit.blogspot.com/2007/07/boston-cream-cake-dammit.html" target="_blank">Boston Cream CAKE, Dammit!</A><br /><a href="http://epicureanvegan.com/2012/01/24/layered-pizza/" target="_blank">Layered (Deep Dish) Pizza</A><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7irawMOKBN0" target="_blank">Video: vegan deep dish pizza</A><br /><a href="http://goveganmeow.blogspot.com/2011/02/deep-dish-pizza.html" target="_blank">go vegan meow!

<br />
<b>Suggestions and Tips:</b><br />
<br />
<b>Plant milks:</b> Plant milks on their own and fortified contain many essential nutrients. And with all the different types, brands, and flavors, it is easy to experiment with. Milk is generally an emulsion of protein and fat in a water-based liquid. For plant milk, it's an emulsion of plant protein, oils, etc. The emulsion is where the creaminess comes from in milk. If you have less water, then it's (plant) cream. Plant based milk is nutritious and tasty, and it does not carry the harm and health problems associated with animal based milk.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2007/09/how-is-animal-milk-harmful.html">1</a></sup> The most popular plant milk is soy milk (that comes from soybeans). Other plant milks include almond, rice, hemp, coconut, peanut, cashew, and oat. Most have the flavors: original/unsweetened, vanilla, and chocolate. All plant milks taste different, even within the same plant; the taste and thickness comes mostly from the brand. I have pretty much all plant-type milks and my favorites are almond, rice, soy, and hemp. My favorite brands are Almond Breeze, Rice Dream, Westsoy, Living Harvest Hemp, and So Delicious Coconut. Generally the more fat the plant milk has, the thicker it is. Although not in all cases Silk Almond is thick, with no extra fat added.<br />
<br />
<b>Fruit:</b> It's a no-brainer that fruits are healthy for you, and full of antioxidants. Due to most fruits being sweet, then you most likely do not have to add an additional sweetener. Berries, açaí, grapefruit, papaya, grapes, and avocado are among the most nutritious fruits out there.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-superfoods-part-1.html">2</a></sup> <sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-superfoods-part-2.html">3</a></sup><br />
<br />
<b>Seeds:</b> Seeds are highly nutritious and can be a great addition to smoothies. Flaxseed & hempseed are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed & hempseed can reduce inflammation, lower the amount of lipids, help with depression, fatigue, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's, and more. Flax seeds contain more omega-3 fatty acid than fish. Another hempseed source is hemp milk. Flaxseed works best when ground and not heated.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-superfoods-part-1.html">4</a></sup> Fennel seeds have a strong antioxidant activity.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=23">5</a></sup> Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E and can help lower cholesterol.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=57">6</a></sup> Pumpkin seeds has anti-Inflammatory benefits and may promote prostate health.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=82">7</a></sup> Sesame seeds are a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. Sesame seeds have the highest total phytosterol content (400-413 mg per 100 grams, 100 grams is equivalent to 3.5 ounces) of nuts and seeds.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=84">8</a></sup><br />
<br />
<b>Nuts:</b> Nuts can be a good addition to smoothies due to it's nutrient content. Nuts generally have a very low glycemic index, and help lower blood sugar. Dietitians frequently recommend nuts be included in diets prescribed for patients with insulin resistance problems such as diabetes mellitus type 2. The fats in nuts mostly are unsaturated and monounsaturated. They are good sources of vitamin E and riboflavin (an antioxidant), protein, folate, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and selenium. Almonds and walnuts can lower serum LDL cholesterol concentrations and help prevent coronary heart disease. Raw walnuts are considered the healthiest nut, and contain omega-3 fatty acids.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-superfoods-part-1.html">9</a></sup> <sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.active.com/nutrition/Articles/The_Nut_Case__Do_They_Have_Too_Much_Fat_.htm">10</a></sup> <sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/new-health/health-nutrition/leslie-beck/go-nuts-to-help-lower-your-blood-sugar/article2094890/">11</a></sup><br />
<br />
<b>Thickener:</b> A thickener for a smoothie is not necessary; but some like a nice, thick, and creamy smoothie. Bananas are a common thickener for smoothies; they are a good source of potassium and other nutrients that make it a good addition. Other thickeners include ice, silken/soft tofu, nuts, and seeds. You could also just add less liquid and more solid.<br />
<br />
<b>Sweetener:</b> Most smoothies should be naturally sweetened if you use fruit and a vanilla plant milk. If you want to add a sweetener unsulphured blackstrap molasses has many health benefits. Other sweeteners include maple syrup, agave nectar, unrefined and cane sugar, brown sugar/turbinado sugar, stevia, cinnamon sugar, vanilla, barley malt syrup, sweet sorghum, brown rice syrup, and sugar beet.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://veganarch.blogspot.com/2008/03/vegan-foods-part-2_09.html">12</a></sup><br />

I would like to let you all know that I have not forgotten about this blog nor am I giving it up anytime soon. A lot has been going on my life currently, which has made updating hard to do. You can always look through my <a href="http://veganarch.blogspot.com/2011/06/blog-archive.html" target="_blank">91 previous posts</A> for vegan information, that I always try to keep up to date.<br />
<br />
I will be posting two new blog posts soon hopefully, with more soon to follow. My 100th blog post is also coming up soon, so I will be working on that as well. If any of you have any ideas for my 100th blog post, please send me an <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="mailto:tveganpeaceb@gmail.com" target="_blank">e-mail</a> or leave me a comment. I will also like to look into making a <span style="font-style:italic;">Vegan Peace</span> banner and website, so if any of you have experience in that area please <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="mailto:tveganpeaceb@gmail.com" target="_blank">e-mail</a> me or comment! I hope that all has been well with you all, and may peace, love, and veganism be with you all!<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
-Avi<br />

With all that said, this happens to be great timing, with fellow vegans <a href="http://vegetarianstar.com/2011/01/13/natalie-portman-and-a-vegetarianvegan-pregnancy/" target="_blank">Alicia Silverstone, Natalie Portman*</A>, <a href="http://vegetarianstar.com/2011/04/01/emily-deschanel-pregnant-no-non-vegan-cravings-reported-yet/" target="_blank">Emily Deschanel</A>, and <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/entertainment/post/2011/03/martha-stewarts-daughter-alexis-welcomes-baby/1" target="_blank">Alexis Stewart</A> having vegan pregnancies. The first post is a guide on vegan pregnancy. To see the second post on raising vegan children, <a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2011/03/raising-vegan-children.html" target="_blank">go here</A>.<br />
<br />
*Although, unfortunate recent news reports that Natalie Portman stopped being a vegan during her pregnancy. She apparently stated that her cravings craved animal products. Some sources state after her pregnancy she is vegan again.<br />

The festival begins on the first day of the first month in the traditional Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year is celebrated in countries and territories with significant Chinese populations. The 2011 date is February 3 and is the year of the Rabbit. Celebrations include the Dragon dances/Lion dances, fireworks, friends and family gathering, family meal, giving red envelopes, decorating with duilian.<br /><br /><a href="http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/10-chinese-new-year-food-superstitions.htm" target="_blank">10 Chinese New Year Food Superstitions</A> <br />10. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Oranges and Tangerines</span> - Two of the most common food symbols of the Chinese New Year are tangerines and oranges. Tangerines represent wealth, and oranges are a popular symbol of good luck. During Chinese New Year, tangerines and oranges are displayed as decorations and are also exchanged among friends and acquaintances. Sometimes, small trees are kept for this purpose. When giving these fruits as gifts, offer them with both hands. It's polite for the recipient to refuse at first, so keep trying. If there are still leaves and a stem attached to the fruit, it also means fertility.<br /><br />9. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Noodles</span> - When served during Chinese New Year, noodles shouldn't be cut or broken into pieces. Long noodles represent a nice long life.<br /><br />8. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Chicken</span> - Whole chicken is a popular dish during Chinese New Year because it represents togetherness and rebirth. It's symbolic of the family and can also signify unity and prosperity as a group. There are vegan whole chickens at certain grocery stores.<br /><br />7. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Chinese Dumplings</span> - A popular family New Year's Eve tradition is to get together and make boiled dumplings (jiaozi). Boiled Chinese dumplings are fun and relatively easy to make, and their fried counterparts, pot stickers, are also a Western favorite. The dumplings are filled with vegetables like cabbage, carrots and spring onion, and plant meats.<br /><br />6. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Pomegranates</span> - Pomegranates are a natural for Chinese New Year. They're filled with colorful seeds for fertility and are a bright vibrant red, which represents happiness and repels evil spirits. They're also good for you, with an abundance of antioxidants and vitamin C to help you recuperate after the celebrations are over.<br /><br />5. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Seeds</span> - Seeds are important in Chinese New Year celebrations because they're symbolic of the harvest, abundance and fertility. They represent the potential for good things to come and appear again and again as the embodiment of hope. Many seed-rich fruits are either used as ingredients in classic dishes or for decoration. Besides the symbolic significance of the seeds in fruits like oranges, tangerines, melons, pomegranates and pomelos, seeds are also used by themselves or as major ingredients. Red-dyed melon seeds are added to candies and offered to guests or children, and the sweet seeds of the lotus are candied, too. Red melon seeds have multiple meanings because they incorporate the significance of red for joy with the potential and hope represented by the seeds themselves.<br /><br />4. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Vegetarian's Delight</span> - A large all vegetable medley is a favorite Chinese New Year's Day dish. This classic is sometimes called Vegetarian's Delight, Jai or Buddhist's Delight. Make sure to use plenty of root vegetables. Chinese New Year is the beginning of the spring planting season, so it's a great time to use up those stored winter veggies and clear the shelves for spring greens. To add a little extra good fortune, be sure to include black moss to attract wealth, lotus seeds for fertility, and bamboo shoots for strength and longevity. Some other common ingredients are tiger lily buds, red dates (jujubes), Chinese cabbage, cloud ears and water chestnuts.<br /><br />3. <span style="font-weight:bold;">White Foods</span> - Although you'll see tofu in some Chinese New Year recipes, serving white ingredients is usually considered bad luck during the 15-day celebration. White represents bad fortune and even death, although in other areas of Chinese life it can mean purity, too. Color is often symbolic during this time, and foods that are red, orange, green or gold are considered particularly auspicious. This is one of the reasons tangerines, oranges, red melon seeds and pomegranates are popular food gifts. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Their colors are believed to represent the following</span>:<br /> * <span style="font-weight:bold;">White</span> - bad luck, death, loss, mourning<br /> * <span style="font-weight:bold;">Red</span> - happiness, purity, celebration, health, luck<br /> * <span style="font-weight:bold;">Orange</span> - happiness, luck<br /> * <span style="font-weight:bold;">Gold/Yellow</span> - happiness, prosperity<br /> * <span style="font-weight:bold;">Green</span> - luck, harmony<br /><br />2. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Prosperity Tray</span> - The Chinese New Year prosperity tray is usually a hexagonal or round dish that contains eight traditional candy varieties. The number eight represents prosperity, and each candy has symbolic significance. Made from traditional ingredients, like red melon seeds, peanuts or candied melon, these treats are offered to children and guests. When an adult takes a candy from the tray, he replaces it with a red envelope, or Lai See, that contains a money gift for good luck. The amount of the gift usually ends in an even number, often an eight. <span style="font-weight:bold;">The eight traditional candies are</span>:<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Candied melon</span> - good health<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Coconut</span> - togetherness<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Kumquat</span> - prosperity<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Lychee nuts</span> - family ties<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Longan</span> - fertility (for bearing sons)<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Lotus seeds</span> - a large family<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Peanuts</span> - long life<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Red melon seeds</span> - happiness, truth<br /><br />1. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Fish</span> - It's traditional to serve a whole fish on Chinese New Year's Eve and save half for the next day. The Chinese word for fish is similar to the word for plenty, and saving part of the fish for later consumption insures symbolic abundance for the future. There are vegan fish at certain grocery stores and can be made at home with chickpeas or tofu and seaweed.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Other Chinese New Year Food Superstitions:</span><br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Peaches, mustard greens</span> - long life<br /> *<span style="font-weight:bold;"> Pears</span> - prosperity<br /> *<span

Superfoods can lower your cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer, and put you in a good mood.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/superfoods-everyone-needs">1</a></sup> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Also see <a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-superfoods-part-1.html" target="_blank">Top Superfoods (Part 1)</A>, <a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2010/12/top-superfoods-recipes.html" target="_blank">Top Superfoods Recipes (Part 1)</A>, and <a href="http://veganpeace.blogspot.com/2008/02/vegan-nutrition.html" target="_blank">vegan nutrition</A>.</span><br /><br /><font size="5"><u><span style="font-weight:bold;">Top Superfoods 2</span></u></font><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Grapefruit</span> - supports the immune system, alleviates cold symptoms, reduces cholesterol, alleviates insomnia, reduces risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=25">2</a></sup> <sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.juicing-for-health.com/health-benefits-of-grapefruit.html">3</a></sup> Grapefruit contains citric acid, natural sugars, essential oils like limonene, pinene, citral, high in vitamin C, smaller amounts of vitamin A, B complex, E and K. Grapefruit's acidity has an alkaline reaction after digestion, which has a profound effect in the treatment of acidity in the digestive system that causes a host of other health problems. The bioflavonoids found in grapefruit was discovered to even halt cancer cells from spreading in breast cancer patients, by ridding the body of excess estrogen. Grapefruit helps reduce the starches and sweets in the system making it good for diabetes. The grapefruit juice helps to promote digestion by increasing the flow of gastric juices. Eat the grapefruit together with its albedo and pith for their extra fiber that aids bowel movements. The fruit has a fat-burning enzyme and can help to absorb and reduce the starch and sugar in the body.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.juicing-for-health.com/health-benefits-of-grapefruit.html">4</a></sup><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Tomatoes</span> - prevents heart disease, is cancer-fighting, are antioxidant rich. Tomatoes contain the richest source of phytonutrient lycopene, and are excellent sources of vitamin C and vitamin A. This fruits antioxidants travel through the body neutralizing dangerous free radicals that could otherwise damage cells and cell membranes, escalating inflammation and the progression or severity of atherosclerosis, diabetic complications, asthma, and colon cancer. Tomatoes are also a great source of fiber, which has been shown to lower cholesterol, keep blood sugar levels from getting too high, and preventing colon cancer. A cup of fresh tomato will provide you with 57.3% of the daily value (DV) for vitamin C, plus 22.4% of the DV for vitamin A, and 7.9% of the DV for fiber.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=44">5</a></sup> Tomatoes contain high levels of the antioxidant beta-carotene, that supports the immune system and helps maintain healthy skin and tissue lining. Tomatoes are packed with antioxidant flavonoids and vitamin E, both of which are essential for heart health, and are a good source of potassium. Lycopene, the pigment that gives them their deep red color, can neutralize 13 free radicals which, if allowed to build up, can cause cell damage and trigger cancer. The amount of lycopene in a tomato varies based on variety, but the deeper and darker red colors are best.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/dietandfitness/3353383/Tomatoes-The-humble-superfood-in-your-salad.html">6</a></sup> Research shows that the absorption of lycopene is greatest when tomatoes are cooked with olive oil. In one study, a combination of tomato and broccoli was more effective at slowing tumor growth than tomatoes or broccoli alone.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1020788/6_superfoods_that_prevent_disease/">7</a></sup> Eating tomatoes without the seeds has been shown in some studies to lessen the risk of gallstones and kidney stones.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://healthmad.com/nutrition/10-health-benefits-of-tomatoes/">8</a></sup><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Broccoli</span> - fights cancer, improves immune system, prevents colds, and strengthens bones.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://organicjar.com/2009/2001/">9</a></sup> Broccoli is rich in the antioxidant sulforaphane which is linked with a reduced risk of a number of cancers, especially lung, stomach, colon and rectal. The phytonuirients in broccoli help detoxify carcinogens found in the environment, and also have anti-inflammatory properties, and we know that an important factor in reducing the risk of disease is to decrease inflammation.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1020788/6_superfoods_that_prevent_disease/">10</a></sup> Studies have shown that broccoli contains more calcium than most dairy products therefore helping to build bone mass. Broccoli and other leafy green vegetables contain powerful phytochemical antioxidants in the carotenoid family called lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which are concentrated in large quantities in the lens of the eye. Due to it's high fibre content and low sugar, broccoli helps fight against diabetes. Broccoli also contains goitrogens, so if you have thyroid problems limit consumption.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://organicjar.com/2009/2001/">11</a></sup><br /><br />Broccoli has a strong and very positive impact on our body's detoxification system, and researchers have recently identified one of the key reasons for this detox benefit. Glucoraphanin, gluconasturtiian, and glucobrassicin are 3 glucosinolate phytonutrients found in a special combination in broccoli which is able to support all steps in body's detox process, including activation, neutralization, and elimination of unwanted contaminants. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are the detox-regulating molecules made from broccoli's glucosinolates, and they help control the detox process at a genetic level. When large supplemental doses of vitamin D are needed to offset deficiency ample supplies of vitamin K and vitamin A help keep our vitamin D metabolism in balance. Broccoli has a strong combination of both vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene) and vitamin K. Broccoli is a rich source of a flavonoid called kaempferol. Recent research has shown the ability of kaempferol to lessen the impact of allergy-related substances on our body. This kaempferol provides anti-inflammatory benefits of broccoli and good for a hypoallergenic diet.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=9">12</a></sup><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Papaya</span> - prevents cancer, aids in digestion, lowers cholesterol, strengthens the heart.

Papayas also are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium; and fiber. These nutrients in all promote good health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer. Also papaya contains the digestive enzyme, papain, which is used like bromelain, a similar enzyme found in pineapple, to treat sports injuries, other causes of trauma, and allergies.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=47">15</a></sup><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Celery</span> - lowers blood pressure, combats cancer, neutralizes acidity, aids in insomnia.

Even for some who are salt-sensitive can safely take the sodium in celery, unlike table salt which is harmful for those with high blood pressure. Most of the compounds in celery hold up well during cooking. Celery promotes healthy and normal kidney function by aiding elimination of toxins from the body. While eliminating toxins, it also prevents formation of kidney stones. The diuretic effect of celery juice aids the breaking and elimination of urinary and gall bladder stones.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.juicing-for-health.com/health-benefits-of-celery.html">16</a></sup> Celery contains active compounds called phthalides, which can help relax the muscles around arteries and allow those vessels to dilate. Celery contains compounds called coumarins that help prevent free radicals from damaging cells.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=14">17</a></sup> Dripping celery tea drops on eyelids is good for ophthalmologic affectations. Presence of coumarins gives relief from migraines.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/vegetable/health-benefits-of-celery.html">18</a></sup> Celery is also efficient in cases of asthenia, hoarseness, rheumatism, icterus, gout, arthritis, inflammations, dermatosis, diabetes, and obesity.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.liveandfeel.com/medicinalplants/celery.html">19</a></sup><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Grapes</span> - fights hypertension, treats constipation, indigestion, fatigue, kidney disorders, macular degeneration and prevention of cataract.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=40">20</a></sup> Flavonoids are phytonutrients give the vibrant purple color to grapes, grape juice and red wine; the darker the color, the higher the concentration of flavonoids. These flavonoid compounds include quercitin, as well as a second flavonoid-type compound (falling into the chemical category of stilbenes) called resveratrol. Both compounds appear to decrease the risk of heart disease by reducing platelet clumping and harmful blood clots and protecting LDL cholesterol from the free radical damage that initiates LDL's artery-damaging actions. The intense mixture of phytonutrients found in grapes, which includes: flavans, anthocyanins, quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol, and resveratrol, is protective effects on cholesterol metabolism, oxidative stress (free radical activity) and inflammation.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=40">21</a></sup> Grapes are rich sources of vitamins A, C, B6 and B9 in addition to essential minerals like potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and selenium.

Insoluble fiber promotes a healthy digestive tract and reduces the risk of cancers affecting it (i.e. colon cancer). The fiber found in barley provides food for the beneficial bacteria in the large intestine. This is important as the good bacteria can crowd out the disease-causing bacteria in the intestinal tract, resulting in greater health and disease resistance. They are also high in protein, low in fat (except for soybeans), calories and sodium but high in complex carbohydrates. They contain essential fatty acids, mostly omega-6s (only soybeans have significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids). Beans are extremely beneficial in an anti-diabetes diet because they rank low on the glycemic scale, which means that they do not cause the inflammatory, hunger-inducing spikes in blood sugar levels. Buckwheat is high in protein and in the essential amino acids lysine and arginine. It's unique amino acid profile gives buckwheat the power to boost the protein value of beans and cereal grains eaten the same day. Buckwheat also contains no gluten, the source of protein in true grains, and is therefore safe for people with gluten allergy or celiac disease. Like the widely prescribed <span style="font-style:italic;">ACE</span> hypertension drugs, buckwheat proteins reduce the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), thereby reducing hypertension.<sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.oprah.com/health/Barley-Dr-Perricones-No-3-Superfood">28</a></sup> <sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.oprah.com/health/Beans-and-Lentils-Dr-Perricones-No-4-Superfood">29</a></sup> <sup style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><a href="http://www.oprah.com/health/Buckwheat-Dr-Perricones-No-5-Superfood">30</a></sup><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Barley Grass, Wheatgrass & Other Green Foods</span> - has great levels of nutrient density. Green foods have marked beneficial effects on cholesterol, blood pressure, immune response and cancer prevention. These effects are attributed in part to their high concentrations of chlorophyll.
