Straight from a medical doctor interviewed on ABC News!
Broccli
Mushrooms (including the stems)
Yellow Bell Pepper
Tomatoes (canned or fresh)
Foods that I have always enjoyed and am grateful that my mother and her husband were so strict about my sister and I finish on our plates.

Do you think it matters how you prepare these foods in terms of nutrients? Frying, baking, boiling, steaming, etc. Common sense is the best answer for that question. We steamed our vegetables as a side dish. |

Not a food per se, but rock rose or cistus is supposed to really boost your immune system. It is especially good against influenza and borreliosis.
You can make tea from it.

I had broccoli today and I boiled it since I was pressed on time.
My understanding is steaming is superior to boiling in terms of nutrients, but hey I was pressed on time lol.
I wonder how baking and frying affect nutrients. People usually bake certain vegetables like cauliflower.
Hmm interesting thought about baking vegetables. I have never heard such a thing. I think it would not cook thoughly. Grilling in the oven or on stove-top grill is also ideal. You are right that cooking process effects the amount of nutrients the vegetable has. I prefer grilled saute squashes, carrots, string beans, celery, broccli and bean sprouts to the steamed versions. Often I will very thoroughly wash the veggie first and then eat it raw. I put them on a platter and serve with a dip. When I was kid, I would just eat radish by itself with a sprinkle of salt on top! I don't think there are many vegetables that I do not enjoy eating! I don't eat many fruits anymore although I really ought to.

I need to eat more broccoli, but the other things I am big on and being a vegetarian, I love most vegetables. Oh yeah? I almost bought some more veggies today while at the grocery store. Instead a stocked up on fruits like apples, pears and oranges. |

I buy berries and mangoes mostly when in season, and prefer juices. Berries are one of the healthiest thing you can have. I like to make an oat milk, blackberry smoothie. Add honey and ground flaxseed as well. Berries are expensive though. I know! I wanted to find the honey and carmel for the dip I use but the store started getting more crowded after 10 minutes. Not that big of a deal. It is just that they group up for some reason and block my path. I don't like the taste or texture of flaxseed in my drinks. Sorry. Berries are expensive! I get raspberries, blueberries and blackberries as often as I need it. I'm not too fond of strawberries anymore because it is hard finding sweet ones without having to add a sweetner like honey, whipped cream or powdered sugar. I should have bought that small sized portable blender I found on Amazon last week. I got too indecisive about it. It was cool too!

Well I am not a drug addict. I never was a drug addict in my whole life. You should go complain to drug addicts about whatever issue you got with them.

I used the proverbial 'you'. But there's nothing wrong with jokes about drug addicts or most any group. Why are drug addicts sacred and nobody else?  Go away. |
