7 Super Foods Your Body Will Thank You For

**BlakByuty** · 05-14-2003, 12:01 AM

1. Nuts-Might reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer

2. Tomatoes-The antioxidant lycopene in tomato-rich foods may help prevent prostate cancer, and might also help prevent breast cancer. Cooked tomatoes are more effective than raw ones.

3. Berries-Their anthocyanins and ellagic acid (the substances that give them their rich colors) possess potential cancer- and heart disease-preventing antioxidant properties.

4. Chili peppers-Capsaicin, the substance that gives chiles their heat, acts as a disease-preventing phytochemical.

5. Yogurt-Most yogurts contain good bacteria that help maintain proper digestive health and may help boost your immune system. Look for the words “live and active cultures.”

6. Tea-Might help prevent cancer and heart disease due to the antioxidant effects of the flavonoids and polyphenols they contain.

7. Leafy greens-Folate, a much-talked-about B vitamin, does triple duty. In addition to helping fend off heart disease and possibly even cancer, it’s believed to prevent neural tube defects in unborn babies.
