Vitamin D so essential for healthy bones? Regular consumption of mushrooms aids in
better hearing power too.
You must have heard of the Banana smile. Believe it or not this fruit can actually put a
smile on your face. It contains tryptophan, a protein which once digested converts into
a chemical neurotransmitter called serotonin which is a very important mood
regulating chemical and works like an antidepressant.

Broccoli has also come to be called a disease busting vegetable. It can prevent cancer.
About 2000 years ago the curative powers of Ginger for all stomach related problems
were discovered. It helps digestion, cures nausea and prevents bowel tumours.

Cheddar cheese is a very rich source of calcium and phosphate. These strengthen bones
and muscles and reduce risk of osteoporosis.
Grapes, which look so much like the lobules in the lungs, are rich in proanthocyanidin a
chemical which helps circulate fresh oxygen to the blood stream thereby reducing the
risk of cancer and also reduce the severity of asthma.
If you cut a tomato into half, you will notice that it has four chambers just like our
heart. Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, a plant chemical that reduces the risk
of heart disease and several cancers. This also helps lower the unhealthy effects of LDL
cholesterol.
The gnarled look of a walnut, mimicking the appearance of a human brain, is perhaps
the only fruit rich in Omega-3 and fatty acids tends to ward off dementia and to some
