The 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating
By TARA PARKER-POPE
1.Beets(ほうれん草): Think of beets as red spinach, Dr. Bowden said, because they are a rich
source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.
How to eat: Fresh, raw and grated to make a salad. Heating decreases the antioxidant power.
2.Cabbage（キャベツ）: Loaded with nutrients like sulforaphane, a chemical said to boost
cancer-fighting enzymes.
How to eat: Asian-style slaw or as a crunchy topping on burgers and sandwiches.
3.Swiss chard（スイスフダンソウ）: A leafy green vegetable packed with carotenoids that
protect aging eyes.
How to eat it: Chop and saute in olive oil.
4.Cinnamon（シナモン）: May help control blood sugar and cholesterol.
How to eat it: Sprinkle on coffee or oatmeal.
5.Pomegranate juice（ザクロ飲料）: Appears to lower blood pressure and loaded with
antioxidants.
How to eat: Just drink it.
6.Dried plums（干し葡萄）: Okay, so they are really prunes, but they are packed with
antioxidants.
How to eat: Wrapped in prosciutto and baked.
8.Sardines（イワシ）: Dr. Bowden calls them “health food in a can.” They are high in
omega-3’s, contain virtually no mercury and are loaded with calcium. They also contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of B vitamins.
How to eat: Choose sardines packed in olive or sardine oil. Eat plain, mixed with salad, on
toast, or mashed with dijon mustard and onions as a spread.
9.Turmeric（ウコン）: The “superstar of spices,” it may have anti-inflammatory and
anti-cancer properties.
How to eat: Mix with scrambled eggs or in any vegetable dish.
10.Frozen blueberries（冷凍ブルーベリー）: Even though freezing can degrade some of the
nutrients in fruits and vegetables, frozen blueberries are available year-round and don’t
spoil; associated with better memory in animal studies.
How to eat: Blended with yogurt or chocolate soy milk and sprinkled with crushed almonds.
11.Canned pumpkin（缶入りカボチャ）: A low-calorie vegetable that is high in fiber and
immune-stimulating vitamin A; fills you up on very few calories.
How to eat: Mix with a little butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.
