The supermarket secret to getting
50% more from your food
Youve probably heard the old saying, the darker the
berry, the sweeter the juice. Well, Im not sure about
sweeter but new research shows that it may very well be healthier. Purple berries such as
elderberry, black currant and chokeberry have as much as 50% more of the antioxidants
(known as flavonoids) than other berries.
Berries are known to have the highest concentration of antioxidants among all fruits and
vegetables, and there have been studies touting the benefits of cranberries and blueberries,
but little research has been done on their dark-coloured counterparts. So researchers analysed
the antioxidant content of several varieties, including black currants, red currants,
gooseberries, chokeberries and elderberries. They measured two classes of antioxidants found
in the purple berries, anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins.
The results showed that chokeberries were the richest in antioxidants, with 1,480 mg of
anthocyanin concentration per 100 grams of fresh berries. Gooseberries had the lowest.
While these berries may not be as common as blueberries or strawberries, that could change
as word gets out of the health benefits of the dark-skinned varieties. In the meantime, you may
be able to find them in health food stores or at local farmers markets.

Boost your performance on the
field and off
However you choose to stay active, whether youre
walking, going for a run, taking a bike ride or working in
your garden, new research says you can increase your energy level with zinc.
According to a recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study, zinc increases performance by
helping the body get rid of carbon dioxide, which rises during exercise.
The study involved 14 active men in their 20s and 30s who were placed on a low-zinc diet of
just 3.5 mg a day.
After nine weeks the men in the study were asked to perform two types of exercise tests on a
stationary bicycle. During one of the tests - a 45 minute endurance ride - four of the men had
to stop. Blood tests revealed that they werent getting the full effects of an enzyme called
carbonic anhydrase. This is the enzyme that helps expel carbon dioxide from the body.
After six weeks, the men were given a high-zinc diet along with a 15 mg zinc supplement and
were asked to repeat the exercise tests. Their performance improved dramatically.
Past studies have associated low zinc levels with poor muscle strength, fatigue, and a lack of
speed during exercise. So if you want to boost your own performance, try adding more zincrich foods, like red meat, oysters, and beans to your diet or consider taking a zinc supplement.
Dr. Wright usually recommends 25 to 30 milligrams of zinc (picolinate or citrate). Just make
sure to balance it with copper. Long-term zinc use can lead to copper depletion, so if you
decide to take it, make sure to take 1 1/2 to 2 milligrams of copper every day too.
