Rethink Your Plate Portions

At least 50-60% of your plate should be vegetables, with small portions of protein and starch. Make sides count: steam asparagus and tie into bundles with chives or scallion tops; shred Brussels sprouts, saute in olive oil and shallots, and sprinkle with toasted walnuts; or steam artichokes and serve with red pepper hummus.

Eating Out? Choose Chinese

Skip the fried rice and sauces, and order stir-fried vegetables. Ask for extra bok choy, cabbage and broccoli, and you'll get a week's worth of cancer-preventative glucosinolates. Add shrimp, not beef, for lean protein.

Eat Your Broccoli

Vitamins Celebrate 100th Birthday

In 1912, the word "vitamin" first appeared in a scientific journal. Polish-born biochemist Casimir Funk actually coined the term in 1911, but his peers refused to recognize it until the following year.

Make Vegetables Easy

Cut a variety of vegetables at home and store them in air-tight containers. You'll be more likely to use them if they're ready-to-go. Good candidates: sweet potatoes, kale, broccoli, red peppers and celery.

Skip Store-Bought Granola

Skip store-bought granola (it's loaded with fat and sugar), and make your own. Combine rolled oats with chopped walnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds; stir in a little honey mixed with hot water; bake at 200 degrees until golden. Stir in dried cranberries and let cool.

Give Your Sauce a Boost

Give your pasta sauce a boost. Mix in a cup of pumpkin puree for a day's worth of beta carotene plus added fiber; or puree cooked broccoli, sweet potatoes, and carrots, and stir into sauce for extra carotenoids and cancer-fighting compounds.

Get Your Calcium from Greens

Greens contain fiber, beta carotene, and more nutrients than dairy products, with a fraction of the calories. Collards are especially rich in this vital mineral. One cup of cooked collards has as much calcium as a cup of milk, with a savings of 100 calories. Collards and other greens are also rich in magnesium, another key nutrient for bone health.

Eat Plants for Fiber

Eat plants, not grains, for fiber. You'll get added nutrients for fewer calories. A cup of raspberries, for examples, has 9 grams of fiber--the most of any fruit--for only 64 calories. A cup of broccoli has 6 grams of fiber and only 52 calories. Compare that to brown rice: a cup has a paltry 2 grams of fiber per 100 calories.

Look for them at farmer's markets, local farms, or call the Alternative Health Food Store for a list of local sellers.
