Dr. Kathleen Hall, C.E.O. of The Stress Institute recommends:
Strawberries. Strawberries promote heart and circulatory health by reducing artery damaging inflammation according to a study by Gene Spiller, Ph.D. of the Sphera Foundation in Los Altos, CA
Black Tea. Black tea may help protect against various forms of cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, reports Dr. Jack Bukowski and other researchers at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. They found that drinking 20 oz. of tea every day for two weeks doubled or tripled the immune system's output of an infection fighting substance called interferon gamma.
Cinnamon. Cinnamon taken daily reduced total cholesterol, bad cholesterol and triglycerides anywhere from 13 to 30 percent in study done by Richard Anderson, Ph.D. of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This is comparable with statin drugs. Cinnamon seems to help the body use insulin more efficiently. Cinnamon also cuts blood sugar levels by 20 to 30 percent.
Beans. Beans are close to the perfect food. They are chock full of protein, vitamins, calcium, fiber, and more. Red beans have more antioxidants per serving than any other fruit or vegetable.
Sauerkraut. Sauerkraut appears to unlock strong anti-carcinogenic elements, according to a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
