With the Academy Awards coming up this Sunday, all eyes will be on Hollywood’s hottest duos…Brad and Angelina, Tom and Katie. But there’s a far more powerful couple heating things up in the kitchen: Tomatoes and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Apart, these two SuperFoods protect, energize, and satiate; together, they amplify each other’s already extraordinary benefits.
Low in calories and high in fiber, tomatoes are a great source of caretenoids, which in addition to their incredible anticarcinogenic and immune-enhancing properties, help maintain radiant, picture-perfect skin. Tomatoes are one of the primary plant-based dietary sources of beta-carotene, an extraordinary carotenoid with the ability to be converted into active vitamin A. A crucial component for healthy bone and reproductive development, vitamin A also helps maintain skin’s youthful appearance by increasing cell synthesis and turnover, and stimulating collagen production.

Cinnamon - It's More Versatile Than You Think
|
 As you know from an earlier SuperFoodsRx newsletter and from our book, SuperFoods Healthstyle, cinnamon is a SuperSpice. And for good reason. According to recent studies, it has positive effects on blood glucose levels, as well as triglyceride and cholesterol levels.

Protect Your Skin & Increase Your Vitality...

 How is your late-summer garden growing? If you live in southern California (like we do here at SuperFoodsRx) and you planted your tomatoes in mid-June, they're ready to be enjoyed. Even if you didn't plant a garden your local farmers' market is probably overflowing with varieties, colors and sizes of this flavorful fruit. (Yes, I still call it a fruit because botanically it is, although the in 1893 the Supreme Court ruled it a veggie.) |
