Cancer Protection With Lycopene From Reheated Tomatoes

Even so 'good food good health' is as always at the forefront of our minds, as it is crucial we eat a varied nutritional diet to keep our body working proficiently enabling good health of body and mind alike. Generally buying goods in bulk is always cheapest, so we have decided to purchase the same foods as when the girls were home, and to cook and freeze the extra meals. Tomatoes contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene and this is the main reason they are linked with the prevention of cancer. This is found in tomatoes and tomato products equally, but processing into sauces and purees increases the benefits.

It's nice to know that something I am going to be doing to save money is also going to benefit my health.
Recently scientists discovered that cancer risk could be reduced even more by tomatoes being reheated, as in spaghetti bolognaise a favourite in our household. This is great news for people like ourselves who love tomatoes.
Our daughters are off to university - an expensive time for all parents - so we decided we would try to reduce some of our costs and the weekly food bill was voted easiest to cut back.
This study showed that by reheating tomato based sauce dramatically changed the shape of the lycopene increasing the ability of absorption by the body.
Lycopene that is found circulating in the blood stream generally has a 'bent' shape although in the average tomato lycopene usually is straight or linear shape, and this is thought to hinder its ability to pass into the blood through the intestinal walls.
Dr Steven Schwartz from Ohio State University in Columbus, the study leader said 'we can take the red tomato molecular form of lycopene and by processing it and heating in combination with added oil, we can change the shape of the molecule so it is configured in this bent form'
He said it should be possible to produce healthy 'bent' lycopene in the kitchen easy enough.
Many people, especially in Mediterranean countries already cook their tomato sauce for prolonged periods over several days as they say the flavour is greatly enhanced - maybe this is another reason that the Mediterranean diet is known to be one of the healthiest.
In the study they found that the volunteers that had eaten the reheated sauces blood samples and lycopene blood levels were 55 per cent higher than those with the basic sauce. These samples were taken and analysed over a nine and a half hour period.
The added oil or fat from meat being used in the sauce starts to induce cis-isomers of lycopene when cooking times continue. So spaghetti Bolognese is a good example where this can work and benefit your health.
With winter approaching I love nothing more that a warming soup and dumplings. Generally I usually make far too much and end up having it again another day, well this is going to be looked at in a different light now and will be made in plenty for the purpose of reheating and adding more ingredients plus the oil to receive the added health benefits.
Tomatoes are a firm friend in our kitchen and especially as there is an abundance of them in the greenhouse just now, they get added to most meals.
You do not have to make your soup and dumplings or stews from fresh tomatoes as using tinned soup and purees are generally higher in lycopene content, and what more is that they have already been heated during manufacture so maybe there are benefits there already.
Always check when buying tinned tomato soups and other products that the salt content is kept to a minimum, that is my only bug bear, at least if you have the time to make it yourself the use of salt can be eliminated.
If you want to use fresh tomatoes a good time to buy them cheaply is at the end of the day at market stalls when everything is reduced down to clear.
So do not forget even if you are just making soup, you still need to add a dessertspoon of virgin oil to make this work.
So yet again, the not so humble tomato really is a super good health food. By eating a varied diet of good food for good health you are giving your body all the vitamins and nutrients needed for your good health and wellbeing, and this can only be improved with the adding of tomatoes regularly into your diet.
You only have to look to the Italians who have been eating healthily with many tomato based foods for centuries and the added benefits it has to their health and lifestyle.

Health Benefits Of The Tomato

Did you know that tomatoes were once considered poison? It's true, the tomato is a member of the nightshade family, and was at one time considered to be toxic. Tomatoes were first eaten in the U.S. in the early 1800's, when a gentleman by the name of Robert Johnson shocked his hometown by eating a basket of tomatoes in the middle of town. When he didn't die, or even get sick from the tomatoes, they became a part of the American diet.
We now know that tomatoes are not toxic, and in fact are quite nutritious. First of all, tomatoes contain a lot of vitamin C, which is quite beneficial, as you've probably heard. Vitamin C helps the body to produce collagen, an important protein skin, scar tissue, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, helping to prevent cell damage by free radicals.

Tomatoes also contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene. Studies have shown that men consuming 10 servings of tomatoes a week cut the risk of prostate cancer by 45%. Lycopene also lower the risk of colorectal cancer and stomach cancer, and inhibits the growth of other types of cancer cells. Lycopene may also help older folks remain active.
Coumaric acid and chlorogenic acied are also found in tomatoes. These two compounds are thought to block the effects of nitrosamines, which are formed naturally in the body, but are also a strong carcinogen in tobacco smoke.
Tomatoes may also help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Tomatoes are a good source of potassium, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate. Niacin has been used for years to lower cholesterol. Potassium has been shown to lower high blood pressure. And vitamin B6 and folate are used by the body to convert a dangerous chemical called homocysteine into more benign compounds.
Vitamin K, found in tomatoes helps to maintain healthy bones. Vitamin K1 activates a protein in the bones called osteocalcin, which anchors calcium inside the bone. Without enough vitamin K, bone mineralization is impaired.
When you buy tomatoes, be sure to buy the ones with the brightest red color. This indicates high amounts of beta-carotene and lycopene. Lycopene is found in the cell walls of the tomato, so by cooking it in a bit of oil, more lycopene is fully released. Also, cooking the tomato in a bit of olive oil helps your body to absorb the lycopene. If all you can find are canned tomatoes, that's fine. Cooking and canning don't cause tomatoes to lose any of their nutritional value. So cooked and processed tomatoes are just as beneficial as fresh tomatoes.
So tomatoes, once thought to be deadly poison, are now a nutritious staple of our diet. They help to fight cancer, and they contain a good amount of vitamin C, and other vitamins and minerals. So go ahead and start adding tomatoes to your diet.
Spaghetti Sauce:
1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 small onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced (or more if you want)

1 lb ground beef (optional)

4 28oz. cans of crushed tomatoes

1 28oz. can of tomato sauce

2 tsp worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp dried oregano

3 bay leaves
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion, and cook for a couple of minutes, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic, and cook briefly. Be sure not to burn the garlic.
If using ground beef, cook the meat in a skillet until browned. Drain the meat, and add it to the pot.
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, worcestershire sauce, oregano, and bay leaves. Stir everything together, then turn the heat to medium low, and simmer for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove the sauce from the heat, and serve over pasta. The leftover sauce will freeze well.

Health Benefits Of Carrot Juice

Carrot juice has a number of health benefits. The carrot provides what is certainly the most important basic juice. The yellow color is due to carotene. Another name for this form of carotene, the transform, is pro vitamin A. Many authors write that carrots contain a lot of vitamin A. This is not actually true; what the carrot does contain is the pro vitamin. That means a substance that is converted by the body into the vitamin itself. Carrot juice plays the most important part in an infant's supply of vitamin A. When carrot juice is consumed jointly with milk, the utilization of carotene as vitamin A is considerably increased. A carrot and milk juice is the ideal vitamin A source for infants and can in no case lead 10 the risk of the child having too much A.

Carrots are widely used. Indeed it is estimated that in Germany carrots account for 10% of the total vegetable consumption. From the carrot juice point of view, the varieties to be employed are ideally those with the most carotene. It is fortunate that the pro vitamin is strongly colored for this means that so long as you use good colored carrots they are likely to be the best nutritionally speaking too.
As a general rule, early carrots are pale and low in carotene. Because carotene is not water soluble, but is fat soluble, there is not a very great deterioration in the vitamin content on storage.
Nursing mothers are well advised, for the sake of the quality of their milk, to take carrot juice throughout lactation. For although a good sized one will provide your minimum requirement of vitamin A, 7oz (200g) of carrot contain only 50 calories, which cannot be considered to be a fattening snack.

Vegetables with Calcium

Vegetarian diet is not only rich in certain vitamins and minerals but also contains calcium, magnesium and some other important nutrients. Vegetables with calcium are easier to digest than animal sources of calcium. They are free from contaminants, bacteria and toxic substances. Calcium is needed for strong bones, teeth and muscles. The most prominent vegetables that contain high amounts of calcium are cabbage, spinach, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, eggplant, kale, parsley, peas, pumpkin, turnip, dandelion and asparagus. Out of these, Chinese cabbage provides up to 58 mg of calcium per cup, whereas dandelion greens provide more than 100 mg of calcium per cup.

In addition to the above-mentioned vegetable sources, calcium is also found in blackstrap molasses. You will be surprised to know that molasses are one of the richest sources of calcium and they provide up to 400 mg in 2 tablespoons. Other vegetables with calcium include soybean, mustard greens, almonds, tempeh and collard greens.
All these sources of calcium are healthy, pure and provide adequate amounts of calcium needed by the body for strong bones and teeth. Doctors recommend consuming calcium-rich nutritional supplements along with a balanced and healthy diet. Drink lots of milk, eat many green leafy vegetables, exercise on a regular basis and also buy a bottle of calcium tablets for a complete healthy package.
These tablets will serve to complement your diet and provide you with extra vitamins, minerals and all the nutrients required by the body for proper functioning. People who consume calcium and vitamin-rich supplements on a daily basis are at reduced risk of developing diseases caused by calcium deficiency like osteoporosis and degenerative diseases.
In addition to introducing above-mentioned vegetables with calcium to your everyday diet, also find supplements made with pure coral calcium harvested in an environment friendly manner along the coast of Okinawa in Japan. This coral calcium provides more health benefits than normal calcium and is totally safe to be consumed by children and adults alike.

The Benefits of Juice
There is some danger in consuming vast quantities of just fruit juice, however, so be prepared! Fruit juices tend to raise our insulin levels and could lead to diabetes. This is why one should focus more on juicing dark green, leafy vegetables such as lettuces, spinach and kale. It's believed that a person should consume about 1lb of raw vegetables per 50lbs of body weight, and juicing those vegetables makes it much easier to consume as much as you need.
Our colons are inefficient and may have troubles digesting whole vegetable matter. Doing this will help your body break down the old, diseased cells and quickly replace them with new, healthy cells!
Some also say that the additional fiber helps prevent colon and rectal cancers - another good reason to eat some of the pulp.
Why not just eat the whole fruit or vegetable, then?
One of the reasons people have a hard time getting used to a vegetable juice diet, is they are unused to the taste of it. If you have troubles drinking vegetable juice due to the taste, it is a good idea to add some seedless grapes or a few apples to your mix. It improves the taste immeasurably, and helps children enjoy the drink more.

Broccoli good for smokers

Some vegetables that can be trusted to reduce the risk of lung cancer. The smokers and former smokers who consume a lot of broccoli and other vegetables have a lower likelihood of exposure risk lung cancer compared with the no. The researchers at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York, reported the results of this research at the Washington meeting 18/11-2008 in association researchers in the field of cancer prevention (American Association of Cancer Research meeting on cancer prevention).

"The first thing to be done is to stop smoking, because it is the best way to reduce the risk of lung cancer," said researcher Li Tang, PhD. In addition to stop smoking, encourage smokers Tang and former smokers to consume vegetables that are important to the body, such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radish, especially in raw form.

Tim Tang asks patients to 948 lung cancer and 1743 without lung cancer about their smoking history, consumption of fruits and vegetables.

Among smokers, especially among former smokers, komsumsi vegetables in a large number of closely related with the risk of cancer is lower. That does not mean that the vegetable is to prevent lung cancer. Tang made the study of observation, not directly benefit try vegetables in cancer prevention. However, other research has shown that isothiocyanates components in vegetables contain substances that can fight cancer, said Tang. The most important vegetables consumed in the general study Tang is broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower. Vegetables consumed in the raw is better, because the heating damage enzyme that functions in the vegetable isothiocyanates, said Tang. In February, the laboratory tests conducted by other researchers show that isothiocyanates in broccoli may help prevent bladder cancer in rats. On July bula, other studies show that men consume broccoli several times a week have a smaller risk of cancer prostat infected than men who do not consume broccoli.

Lowered Blood Sugar With Red Onion

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is often called the common people "diabetes", is the amount of interference that has characteristics typical main high sugar in blood. Diabetes means "continue" because his victim always drink a lot and in the amount, and then continue the form alias urine. While mellitus means "sweet", because urine victim contain glucose aka blood sugar that taste sweet.

TO basically, DM caused by the hormone insulin that is not patient enough or not effective, so can not work normally. In fact, the normal person, insulin has major role in managing blood sugar; approximately 60-120 mg / dl in the fasting state, and below 140 mg / dl at two hours after eating.

There are two categories of the most common choices, ie, diabetes type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes type 1, DM to ail that 5-10 percent by patients, usually occurs in children or young adults. While type 2 diabetes, which to ail DM by 90-95 percent of all diabetics, increased in number, especially in minority populations.

Diabetes found in all populations and age groups, but the increase in the number of elderly people in the groups (elderly) and people of color, Hispanic, native American, and Asian people.

The Congressionally-Established Diabetes Research Working Group (1999) reported that although deaths due to diseases of cancer, stroke, and cardiovaskular tended to decrease since 1988, mortality due to diabetes increased about 30 percent. Age life expectancy of those who suffered from diabetes on average 15 years shorter from those who do not suffer.

In Indonesia, especially in the communities of the city, diabetes are diseases that prominent at this time.

Research finds Waspadji 1982, 1.7 percent have diabetes patients in Jakarta, in 1992 and increase to 5.7 percent. Epidemiology research in Jakarta in 2001-working together Perkeni (Perkumpulan Endokrinolog Indonesia) and the Ministry of Health, the number of people with diabetes have 6.2 percent. (Kompas, 5 November 2001). Most cases of diabetes in Manado in Indonesia found that reaches 6.1 percent. (Kompas, May 29, 2002).

Based on the notes WHO in 1998, the number of diabetics in India was ranked to 6-most in the world after India, China, Russia, Japan and Brazil. Number of diabetics in India is estimated to be increased to 12 million in the year 2025. The increase of 250 percent of the 5 million people in 1995 was due to the increasing elderly population and changes in the pattern of life, from the type of food consumed to the reduced physical activity.

For many centuries, more than 400 plants recognized as a successful "cure" diabetes. In Europe, Asia, and Middle East, raw onion has been used as food favorite option for controlling blood sugar. In Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Santo Domingo, untouchable have been used widely as a "cure" for traditional diabetes.

Current studies demonstrate that consumption of high fiber foods, especially soluble fiber, may improve control of blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Studies performed by Manisha Chandalia dr-colleagues and colleagues from the disease In Science and Human Nutrition Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, United States.

Property tolbutamide in onion

Onion has long occupied a place in the respected medical science as "drugs" diabetes. Modern research shows, red onion have "strength" reduce blood sugar, and charged at the rate which is owned found in food.

The researchers who conducted the Indian red onion, such as juice and red onion "rounded" alias still intact, as much as 25-200 grams of has resource on the subject, the more that get the onion is given, the greater the blood sugar decreases. There is no difference between the raw red onion and red onion that has been boiled.

According to the theory of the research team, onion affect sugar metabolism in the liver, metabolism or insulin release, and / or insulin to prevent vandalism. "Agent" who may have the ability hipoglikemia, lower blood sugar, it is active allyl propyl disulfide and allicin. Clinical and experimental evidence indicates that allyl propyl disulfide lower blood sugar in a way to improve "life" (lifespan) insulin.

In fact, already since 1923 scientists-scientists detect depressor there is sugar in the blood red onion, and in the 1960s, researchers successfully isolate compound antidiabetes of onion that work similar to pharmaceutical drugs antidiabetes general, known as tolbutamide, which is often used to reduce blood sugar. How it works is that tolbutamide stimulates insulin synthesis and expenses. In the rabbit experiment, the extract of onion, 77 percent of the effective dose with standard tolbutamide.

Other research results show, the effects of onion have lower blood sugar and fat. Therefore, it is recommended to add the onion to the food in each meal. Onion can be used after meals in the amount of free.

Soluble fiber in the natural food

High blood sugar is the main problem in diabetes. Research proves that the fibers have a strong effect on blood sugar control.

In the studies conducted Chandalia et al, 13 type 2 diabetics are asked to follow two types of diet, each for six weeks. Diet is a diet that contains moderate amounts of fiber (24 g total fiber, 8 g fiber and 16 g soluble fiber is not soluble), as recommended American Diabetes Association. Meanwhile, the second diet is high fiber diet (50 g total fiber, each 25 g fiber and soluble fiber is not soluble) containing the natural order of food laden fibers.

Both diet, prepared in the kitchen of research, the macro-nutrient substances and the same energy (see Table). Chandalia dkk then compare the effects of these two dietary control of blood sugar and blood fat level.

The result? People-people with diabetes who consume total 50 g fiber a day with the 7 to 8 portions fruit and vegetables alias-fiber diet high blood sugar have a lower and more stable than people-diabetics who consume moderate fiber diet. High-fiber diet also lower total blood cholesterol level about 7 percent.

Precisely how the mechanism of high-fiber foods can improve blood sugar control, not yet clear. However, it is alleged to be caused by the type of soluble fiber gum and pectin can slow the drain side, and even slow or reduce absorption of blood sugar.

Chandalia et al study also showed that the Feed (intake) soluble fiber that may be achieved with high consume laden natural food fiber. High-fiber diet and a few side effects can be well received by the patient. Therefore, to increase consumption of fiber, the people with diabetes are encouraged to consume laden food natural fiber compared with the preparation or fiber supplements.

Food-laden foods that are used for fiber diet high in fiber research Chandalia and colleagues is a fruit dish koctail, fresh oranges, fresh pineapple, fresh papaya, peach fruit (peach) fresh, cherry fruit, fresh tomatoes, corn, zucchini, green beans, whole-wheat bread, and havermout (oatmeal and oat bran). Fruit, especially oranges and pineapple, green beans, and havermout is a source of soluble fiber you a.

Healthy life style of Popeye

You are guaranteed spinach regularly consume more healthy life. As in the cartoon TV series, so savor the plant spinach.
In the vegetable leaves, there is substance-nutritious substances that control the growth of cancer cells, reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, preventing free radicals and prevent bone perapuhan. But should be consumed fresh spinach as dish of raw vegetables and a spicy sauce. When heated, vitamin A, B, folat acid and magnesium that are in it will be damaged. Other nutrient substances that are lost during processing glutathione. According to Dr. Patrick Quilin Cancer Control Center of the United States, glutathione is required for the formation of enzyme-enzyme and increase the body's immune.

One can calculate Danger

Behind the benefits, the spinach is also oxygen-containing substances harmful if we are wrong in manner.

Spinach contains iron in the form of Fe2 + (ferro). If too long a contact with O2 (Oxygen), Fe2 + teroksidasi will be Fe3 + (Ferry). Although the same iron, which is useful for us Fe2 + or ferro. Whereas Fe3 + are toxic to the spinach.

Never consume cooked spinach after more than 5 hours. Soalnya, contain substances other than Fe3 +, spinach also contains substances nitrate (NO3). If oksidation with air, it will become NO2 (Nitrit). Nitrit compound that is not colored, does not smell and are toxic to the human body.

New fresh spinach that has been revoked from persemaiannya containing compound nitrit approximately as much as 5 mg / kg. When the spinach is stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks, nitrit rate will increase to 300 mg / kg. In other words, in 1 day storage, compound nitrit will be increased 21 mg / kg (7%).

Toksik effects caused by Nitrit began Nitrit oxidation reaction of the iron in red blood cells, precisely in the hemoglobin (Hb). One of the tasks are binding hemoglobin oxygen to be distributed to all organs. Nitrit bond with hemoglobin, called Methemoglobin, not able to cause the hemoglobin oxygen binding. If the amount of methemoglobin reach more than 15% of the total hemoglobin, then there will be a condition called Sianosis, namely a situation where the whole body tissue oxygen deficiency. If this happens to a baby known as "Blue Baby".

Toksik other effect is the ability nitrit react with secondary amino compound can be formed that can cause cancer.

Do not cook a pot spinach aluminum, because it can react with iron in the spinach, and so toxic.
