Super Foods

[midnight]

I wish I had kept the article. There was something in the news a couple of weeks ago about "super foods" that could extend your life 5 years or more if you ate them regularly. I remember it because some of the foods I really like - dark chocolate, red wine. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can find that list?

Re: Super Foods

I think you might be referring to the "polymeal"

<A HREF="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/12/041217104020.htm">Scientists Discover Recipe For Life: Eating The 'Polymeal' Cuts Heart Disease By 76%</A>

and here is the original study

Now that is a study I can agree with! No I didn't read it, don't want common sense to enter here. I am sticking with the memory of Midnight, Red wine and chocolate, here I come!

I just wish I could find good fish here.

Re: Super Foods

Ugh I cannot handle the smell taste feel of fish. I keep trying but I can't get it. Anyone have any good fish recipes?

For that matter what fishes are not fishy? Like salmon and tuna are much too strong. Sole was pretty fishy as well. Halibut was okay.

Re: Super Foods

My super secret method for liking fish. Get pregnant . Unfortunatly if you already like fish you may turn around and hate fish. It is a very tricky operation. So far I like tuna, and fish sticks made with real fish, not the smushed stuff. I find salmon to be bearable, but who can afford that stuff?

No complaining about food prices until you live in Japan - the land of everything being outrageously priced!

Re: Super Foods

Apparently tomatoes are incredibly good for you, and cooked ones are better than uncooked.

This is handy, as they can be incorporated into many meals without even noticing, if you don't actually like them!

Re: Super Foods

We picked several of the ifoods that we don't usually eat and have tried to incorporate them into our meals:

Polymeal foods

red wine
fish
dark chocolate
fruits and vegetables
almonds
garlic

Broccoli
Carrots
Chili Peppers
Spinach
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Strawberries

Mangoes
Citrus Fruits
Bananas
Garlic
Green Tea

All of the listed foods in here are all healthy. But we also need to remember that being healthy is accompanied by good lifestyle. It is important to have regular exercise and rest. You should also have to remember that even though these foods are categorized as healthy foods, you still need to watch the amount you're digesting. Remember as the saying goes "Everything that is too much is harmful".

I agree with it. Thanks for the information.
