Ann Louise Gittleman's healthy food choices




Ground flaxseed-flaxseeds provide 800 times more cancer-fighting lignans than any other food, which protect again Breast and prostate cancer. Delicious in salads, smoothies, and as a topping on veggies.

Unsweetened cranberry juice-rich source of phytonutrients such as phenol-based antioxidants that are so helpful in supporting cardiovascular health and preventing urinary tract infections. Mix in a 1:2 ratio with water.

Lemons-high in limonene, they're an old-time remedy for thinning the bile and enhancing digestion.

Whey- undenatured, unheated whey protein provides the aminos from which the body makes glutathione, the body's premier antioxidant.

Spaghetti squash-substitute for pasta, especially for the gluten or carb intolerant.

Jicama-crunchy, juicy, and low calorie, jicama is delicious in salads and as a veggie for dips. Naturally sweet to satisfy the most sophisticated sweet tooth.

Peanut butter-preferably organic, peanut butter is a quick snack that satiates the appetite. High in stress-busting pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).

Blueberries-one of the least pesticide-ridden fruits, blueberries are exceptionally high in proanthocyanidins, so helpful in preventing degenerative disease.

Organic cream- organic cream from grass-fed cows is not only a treat but a terrific source of fat-burning CLA. It nourishes the nerves and is a wonderful accompaniment for all sorts of berries.
