I saw this in the El Caribe yesterday and thought you might lke to see that all of these are available here.
Ten great items for good health
Nature provides many foods that can contribute to good health, and fortunately, all of them are readily available in the Dominican Republic. According to nutritionist Ana Coste de Hern?ndez, the consumption of these foods does not imply any secondary risks, and there is no fear that other organs might be harmed by their consumption. Celery helps high blood pressure since it is rich in potassium. It is also good for the kidneys, increasing urine flow and calming the nervous system. The tomato is a nearly universal plus: diuretic, tranquilizer, and rich in minerals. When eaten whole it is also a good laxative, and, as anyone that watches television knows, it has great anti-oxidants and licopene that fight cancer. Apples keep sugar levels stable, and helps eliminate heavy metals from the system. At the same time it is good for constipation and diarrhea. They clean the teeth and strengthen the gums. They are also good for the heart and blood circulation. Garlic, perhaps the most studied of all plants, is a friend of the heart. It reduces blood pressure and cholesterol, and helps keep the arteries open. Prolonged use might help in the prevention of some types of cancer. The avocado is cholesterol free and sodium free. It has only 5 grams of fat in 30 grams of avocado, and the fat is known as the good fat. It is the fruit with the most dietetic fiber and is rich in B vitamins and folic acid. Grapes, while not recommended for diabetics are great laxatives and are also used for their minerals. Wheat is rich in carbohydrates that provided energy. Wheat also has good fiber and B vitamins, and is said to fight off breast, uterine and prostate cancers because of the antioxidants. Olive oil is basic to good health. Its use retards aging because of the antioxidants and its use can help with ulcers and excess acidity. The ubiquitous pineapple that seems to be on every corner is good for fevers and digestive problems, as well as throat infections. It is said to be a protector of the heart. Pineapples have anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic properties, and it is known to help forestall arteriosclerosis. And honey, which is great for the skin, and contains amino-acids and enzymes that are essential for cells. Honey helps to absorb calcium during digestion, and is rich in vitamins and minerals. It is sweet, and has antibiotic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anticancer properties. Most of these foods are found in every corner of the country, so eat up and get healthy!
