Shopping for tomatoes that will have the most powerful, reliable effect on your health is surprisingly easy. As I’ve mentioned, processed tomatoes are actually of more benefit than fresh tomatoes. In fact, you probably already have in your pantry most of the tomato preparations that can help you boost your intake of this powerful food. Now, you simply have to remember to use them regularly

Here are some quick ideas for getting tomato into your life:

Sauté cherry tomatoes in some olive oil and herbs. Toss over pasta or serve as a side dish.
Use sun-dried tomatoes (no salt added) in sandwiches.
- Toss a can of diced tomatoes into soups and stews.
Make homemade pizza with extra sauce and top with your favorite vegetables. Many supermarkets sell pizza dough that only needs to be shaped, topped, and baked.
A delicious quick meal is a turkey or chicken cutlet, pounded thin, quickly sautéed to brown it slightly, topped with a favorite salsa, and baked in the oven until done. Sprinkle a bit grated cheese on top near the end of cooking and shower it with chopped cilantro or parsley before serving if you like.
One of my favorite sandwiches is a toasted slice of whole wheat bread topped with sliced avocado and some chunky salsa.

What is a “Super Food”?

Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for!

These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life.

If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life!

These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers.

When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status.

This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.

So click around and find recipes and tips on how to incorporate these foods in your daily diet.
