Protein: Protein needs, generally, can be met by eating a variety of plant foods and having an adequate intake of calories. Foods high in protein include legumes, grains, soya products, nuts, dairy products and eggs. Grains such as rice, pasta, breads and cereals provide the same protein.
Carbohydrates provide energy. It is recommended that 50 to 60% of our total calories come from carbohydrates, preferably from complex carbohydrates (starches) and naturally occurring sugars rather than processed or refined sugars. Complex Carbohydrates: Starches found in bread, cereals, starchy vegetables, legumes, rice and pastas. Naturally occuring simple carbohydrates: Fruits, milk, milk products and vegetables. Processed and refined simple carbohydrates: Candy, honey, table sugar, syrups and regular carbonated drinks.
A potential cancer-fighting connection has focused attention on cruciferous vegetables. These members of the cabbage family derive their name from their four-petaled flowers, which look like a crucifer, or cross. They include a diverse selection of vegetables - arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, radishes, rutabaga, turnip, turnip greens, and watercress. While inconclusive, experts believe that they contain nutrients, compounds, and phytochemicals that seem to have a cancer-fighting component - beta carotene, fiber, and vitamin C, among others. Cruciferous vegetables are also fat-free. As an added bonus, cruciferous vegetables supply varying amounts of calcium, iron, and folic acid, too. (concluded)
