A Dark Secret

Black and deep-purple foods are brimming with health benefits.  That's because anthocyanins, a plant compound responsible for the foods' color, are powerful antioxidants that may protect cells from damage and diseases like cancer and heart disease.

BLACKBERRIES

BONUS BENEFIT: Cup for cup, the juicy fruit contains more fiber than strawberries.  you’ll get a helping of polyphenols, an antioxidant that helps lower inflammation. Because they’re low in calories, blackberries are the perfect diet addition, and they might even boost your brain health.  Serve them on top of oatmeal, rice cereal, or layered in a yogurt parfait for breakfast or dessert.

BLACK RICE

BONUS BENEFIT: It's a good source of vitamin E, which some of us don't get enough of.  The next time you sit down to a stir-fry, add black rice, a little-known healthy food, instead of brown or white. Why? Adding black rice to your diet may help with allergies (skin allergies especially) and inflammation. Serve it with white beans to create an amusing "mixed-up" dinner of rice and beans.

BLACK PLUMS

BONUS BENEFIT: Each plum has just 30 calories and high content of Vitamin C, which means that they help protect the body against health conditions like asthma, colon cancer, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.  They are rich in dietary fiber, which in turn proves effective in improving the digestive system.  Plums also reduces your chances of contracting a heart disease in the long run.  Plums have certain cleansing agents that keep the blood pure and prevent complications of the heart.  Serve them whole or sliced into a fruit salad, or chop dried plums into small pieces and mix with nuts to create a tasty trail mix.

BLACK SOYBEANS

BONUS BENEFIT: A half-cup serving packs more than half of the iron that you need every day.  They can give you an unexpected health boost.  Soybeans offer isoflavones, saponins, phytosterols, and other active ingredients that help fight cancer. Studies have also found that having this healthy food in your diet is good for your heart.  Black soybean extract helped improve blood circulation and lowered the risk for cardiovascular problems.  Serve them swapped for chickpeas in a batch of homemade hummus.  You can also add them to salads, chili, soups, tacos, or burritos.

What Plant-Based Nutrition is all about?

Many of you have asked and wondering what plant-based diet are & its benefits. In this blog, I will explain little more on plant-based diet comparing to other vegan/vegetarian diets.



What is Plant based diet?
It's a way of eating based on foods that come from plants and avoiding animal products and highly processed foods.






Some of you asks about what is Vegan? Vegetarians? What is different from plant-based diet?







Vegan is an herbivore, or plant eater, who lives solely on plant products and excludes all animal flesh, including that of poultry and fish, as well as any product made by an animal, such as milk and all other dairy products, eggs, gelatin, and honey. Most vegans typically don't wear clothing or other items made with animal products (such as fur, silk, wool, feathers, or pearls.)

• A vegetarian doesn't eat animal flesh but may consume other animal-based foods like eggs and dairy.  There are several vegetarians.

• Lacto-ovo vegetarians eat dairy (lacto) and eggs (ovo).

• Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy but not eggs.

• Ovo-vegetarians eat eggs but not dairy.

• Flexitarians eat mostly plant-based foods but occasionally eat meat, poultry, or fish, too.

• Semi-vegetarians exclude some meat (usually red meat) but still consume limited amounts of poultry, fish, and/or seafood.

There are several health benefits of a plant-based diet.  There are disease prevention and reversal, weight management, decreased cholesterol levels and improved performance.
