Press Release Body: Feb 21, 2008 - Fl, USA................ Antioxidant- filled
fruits and vegetables are the foods we should eat to protect our bodies against
age-related disease. Eat them daily and raw for full potency.

AVOCADO

Rich in glutathione, the master antioxidant that helps neutralise destructive fat in
other foods. Contains potassium for blood cell protection.

BERRIES

Strawberries, raspberries, cranberries and blueberries are rich in vitamin C.
Blueberries are the richest source of antioxidant anthocyanins.

BROCCOLI

Rich in antioxidant vitamins C, beta-carotene, quercetin, indoles, glutathione, and
lutein. In women\'s, it\'s thought to help prevent cancer by neutralising excesses of
oestrogen. It also helps guard against lung cancer, colon and cardiovascular
disease.

CABBAGE

Antioxidant indole-3 carbinol speeds the disposal of breast cancer-causing
oestrogens and lowers the risk of colonic and stomach cancers.

CARROTS

Help boost immune function, lower cholesterol and reduce risk of stroke and lung
cancer. They also help guard against age-related eye disease and dwindling eyesight.

CITRUS FRUITS

Oranges contain cancer fighting carotenoids, termenes, floavonoids and vitamin C.
Grape fruit contains cholesterol reducing fibre in its juice sacs and membrances.

GRAPE

Contain at least 20 antioxidants. Richly coloured types are the most potent, raisins
are more powerful than fresh grapes. Grape antioxidants, chiefly quercetin, prevent
blood from clotting, relax blood vessels and inhibit the oxidation of LDL
cholesterol.

GARLIC

Contains at least 12 antioxidants plus ajoene, an anti-cholesterol agent that helps
prevent blood clots, and allicin, an antiviral and antibacterial agent. Garlic also
stimulates immune function and may help prevent memory loss and depression.

ONIONS

Help prevent blood clots by raising \'good\' HDL cholesterol levels. Red and yellow
types are richest in cancer-inhibiting quercetin, which also has anti-inflammatory,
anti-bacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties.

SPINACH

Contains beta-carotene and lutein, both powerful antioxidants, which help protect
against cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes, cataracts and macular
degeneration, which can cause blindness.
TEA
Helps prevent heart disease and cancer, thanks to antioxidants such as polyphenols,
quercetin and catechins. Tea also stimulates liver enzymes to detoxify the body of
free radicals and cell-damaging chemicals.

TOMATOES

The richest source of lycopene, an extremely potent antioxidant that helps preserve
physical and mental functions.
