 Why Fruits And Vegetables?

 Researchers now realise that

plants contain compounds that can
help promote good health
“ There’s more to food than
vitamins, minerals, fibre, calories,
and protein. We are discovering a
plethora of bioactive substances in
foods” - John D. Potter, cancer
epidemiologist at Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center.
 Health benefits of fruits and vegetables
 Fruits and vegetables are
antioxidant sources
 Diets high in fruits and
vegetables have many

 Why Fruits And Vegetables?

 Loaded with
phytonutrients – plant
based nutrients
 Phytonutrients help
protect your body and
keep it healthy

There are literally thousands of phytonutrients in plants!

 Why Phytonutrients?
What do they do?
 A part of optimal health
 Supports healthy cell growth
 Antioxidant protection
 Assists the body’s natural
production of protective enzymes
 Supports the immune system
 Phytonutrients and Antioxidants

 Many phytonutrients are antioxidants

 Antioxidants inactivate free radicals
 Antioxidants help to reduce damage to
cells, lipids and DNA
 A mixture of antioxidants is thought to
offer the most health benefit
 Fruits and vegetables are excellent
sources of antioxidants
 ORAC
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity
 Is a measure of the total antioxidant capacity of the
product
 The higher the ORAC value, the better it is at
quenching free radicals
 Fruits and vegetables with high ORAC values have
health benefits
 Researchers suggest that ORAC intake range
between 1000-2000 units per day to promote
improved health and decrease the risk of chronic
diseases
 Other researchers suggest intake between 3000-
5000 units per day
 Which fruits and vegetables do I choose?
 Phytonutrient profile of each
plant is unique
 Amount of each phytonutrient
profile varies in different plants
– Important to eat a range of
different fruits and
vegetables to get the full
benefit of the various
phytonutrients
 Latest Research – Interesting Results!

 Men who eat the most

tomatoes have the healthiest
prostate tissue
 People who eat the most
leafy green vegetables maintain
healthy vision
 People who drink the most
green tea generally have a
healthy cardiovascular system
 Lycopene
 An orange-red coloured carotenoid
 Exhibits potent antioxidant activity
 Epidemiological studies have indicated – a correlation
between increased tomato intake and reduced risk of
prostate cancer

Tomato
 Lutein
 Also found in green leafy
vegetables
 A yellow coloured carotenoid that
possesses high antioxidant activity
 Promotes eye health
 Specifally absorbs blue light
 Lutein and zeaxanthin – reduce the
risk of macular degeneration

 Quercetin

 Also found in apples, onions

and green tea
 Plant – derived bioflavonoid
 Function as antioxidants
 Helps supports the health of
blood vessels
 Could reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease
Green Beans
 Ellagic Acid

 Protects against DNA damage

 Inhibits activity of selected group of
enzymes – (N-acetyltransferases) – lead to
changes in DNA structure

 Hesperidin
 Excellent source of
hesperidin
 Together with
diosmin(citrus flavonoid) is
effective in reducing the
severity of varicose veins
 Effective in reducing
hemorrhoids and chronic
venous insufficiency
 Helps support good
cardiovascular performance Orange
 Hesperidin

 Individuals who drank up to 3 glasses of orange juice

daily increase their HDL levels by 21%, and lower total
cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The positive effects
have been attributed to the hesperidin level in the orange
juice.

 Epigallocatechin(EGCG)

 Contains phytonutrients
called catechins
 Rich in epigallocatechin
 Green tea catechins are Green Tea
effective antioxidants
 Epigallocatechin(EGCG)
 Especially beneficial in women
 Women who drank 4+ cups of green tea per day
could reduce the risk of aortic atherosclerosis

 Carotenoids
 Carrots are excellent sources of beta and alpha-
carotenes
 Function as beneficial antioxidants to limit the damage
of free radicals
 Beta carotene can be converted to vitamin A in the
body on an as –needed basis
Carrots
 Rosmaridiphenol, Carnosic and
Rosmarinic Acid

 Rosemary extract contains a

number of natural antioxidants -
Rosmaridiphenol, Carnosic and
Rosmarinic Acid
 Function as beneficial
antioxidants to limit the damage of
free radicals

Rosemary
 Anthocyanins
Blueberry
 Berries such as blueberry
and elderberry are important
sources of anthocyanins
 Protect the body from free
radical damage
Elderberry
 Evidence indicates that
anthocyanins may help
protect against DNA damage
