Dr. La Puma prepares East European summer soup that may help lower LDL "lousy" cholesterol and prevent heart disease. Dill is rich in fiber, iron and calcium, which along with vitamin D3, may help prevent osteoporosis.
Dr. La Puma makes a sweet, chewy, satisfying alternative to candy rich in potassium and high in fiber. Dates are rich in fiber and contain three times more potassium than bananas.
Dr. La Puma prepares nutritious stir-fry with gluten-free brown rice noodles. It's low fat, high-protein and much tastier than take out! All rice is naturally gluten-free. Brown rice is much healthier than white because it has not been processed. Processing strips away about one-half of brown rice's significant health benefits.
Dr. La Puma prepares a yummy, moist, and healthful alternative to the sticky, gooey, fattening chocolate brownie. Pumpkin is an excellent source of fiber; one-half cup serving contains 5 grams of fiber. Fiber helps reduce bad cholesterol levels, protect the body against heart disease and diabetes.
Dr. La Puma prepares a delicious vegan side dish with the cancer-fighting, antioxidant-rich benefits of kale. Kale contains lutein and zeaxanthin which the body concentrates in the retinas of your eyes. These powerful antioxidants act as a natural sunscreen for your eyes, and may also help prevent cataracts.
Dr. La Puma prepares a thick, wintery soup featuring cancer fighting, heart healthy, cholesterol-lowering benefits of cauliflower. Cauliflower helps lower "lousy" LDL cholesterol in two ways. First, it's an excellent source of fiber, which sweeps away LDL. And second, cauliflower contains IC3, a phytonutrient that helps lower the liver's production of one of the main carriers of bad cholesterol by over 50 percent.
Let the good times roll with Dr. La Puma's cancer-fighting, cholesterol-lowering New Orleans favorite. Just two one-cup servings of brown rice or other whole grain per week help improve the body's ability to absorb calcium and control weight. In a 12-year study of 74,000 women, those who ate more whole grains weighed less than women who ate fewer fiber-rich foods.
Dr. La Puma prepares a spicy omelette for two with the heart healthy benefits of low-fat, high impact salsa. Use cooked, bottled salsa instead of fresh, because tomatoes that have been heated make their heart-healthy lycopene four times easier for the body to absorb. Lycopene also helps prevent prostate cancer. Zesty chilies contain capsaicin which boosts your metabolism and helps the body burn more calories, even while sleeping!
Dr. La Puma prepares an Italian-American favorite right from his grandmother's kitchen with lean, high protein whole chicken. Because chicken is high in protein, it helps you feel full faster and longer, helping you lose weight. And, it's low glycemic which means chicken will not create a spike in your blood sugar level.
Dr. La Puma prepares warm, tangy and sweet salad that can help lower heart disease and cancer risk. In addition to the cancer-preventive powers of betacyanin, beets are also rich in B vitamin folate which helps prevent birth defects in pregnant women. Beet greens are rich in vitamin K, which helps prevent osteoporosis.
Dr. La Puma prepares a fish stew with fresh mussels and halibut, rich in omega-3 fatty acids which help prevent heart disease. Halibut is considered a "wonder food" because it's low in sodium and fat, and high in protein. Eating just two servings per week may help lower the risk of macular degeneration, heart disease, and Alzheimer's.
Help prevent cancer and heart disease with potassium-rich side or main dish everyone will love. Quinoa is a gluten-free seed that makes a great substitute for rice. Its flavor is slightly nutty and has a smooth, creamy texture. Quinoa contains high levels of manganese, a mineral that helps reduce migraines and headaches. It's also rich in riboflavin/vitamin B2, which helps cells produce energy.
East meets West in a tasty make once, serve twice combo featuring the tiny lentil with the giant benefits of powerful nutrients including protein, iron, fiber and B vitamins. Lentils are a low glycemic, high protein legume. They keep blood sugar stable and are a better option than rice for most people.
A luscious treat that will dazzle any holiday celebration while protecting your heart and brain with the powerful antioxidants in dark chocolate.
Rich, creamy side dish-- perfect for hearty winter meals-- provides health benefits of black tea. Using black tea instead of water adds theaflavins which may just have activity against ovarian, liver and stomach cancer and leukemia cells!
