The little stickers on fruits

There is a little sticker on the fruits in supermarket. It tells you the fruits is conventional grown, or organic or genetically modified (GM). There are many benefits to knowing this information:

• The health risks -- GM foods have been in stores only since the 1990s, so the long-term health risks are unknown

• The environmental risks -- Scientists are concerned that GMOs will reduce biodiversity

• The taste benefits -- People agree that the range of possible flavors is greater without a few GM foods crowding out the many natural varieties

Here’s what you should look for:
• A four-digit number means the produce is conventionally grown

• A five-digit number beginning with 9 means it's organic

• A five-digit number beginning with 8 means it's GM

So, look the numbers when you shop the supermarket next time.

How Certain Vegetables Combat Cancer

Cancer is now a biggest threat to the human life. Scientists worldwide are searching the cludes for prevention. It has been known for some time that eating cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage can help prevent breast cancer. These vegetables contain compounds called isothiocyanates which is believed to be responsible for the cancer-preventive and anti-carcinogenic activities in these vegetables. Broccoli and broccoli sprout have the highest amount of the isothiocyantes.
Eating more vegetables has much more benefits than just cancer-prevention, especially when we are used to the diet with more fats and proteins. So, stay with the principle to eat 5 or more servings of vegetables and fruits a day to stay healthy.
99 Ranch Market at Chinatown Las Vegas is a specialty store for vegetables and fruits. They also carry full line of Asian foods. Call 702-364-8899 for more information about the food varieties.

Are organics worth the extra cost?

A review of nearly 100 studies shows that the average levels of nearly a dozen nutrients are 25% higher in organic fruits, vegetables and grains than in conventionally grown produce. In some studies, organic options had nearly 50% more of the antioxidants quercetin and beta-carotene. So, buy organic product when you can.

Maybe it's more expensive, but you get more bang for your buck, not mention the benefits that come from reducing the amount of pepticides that enter the groundwater - and your body finally.

The #1 New year Resolution is Stay Healthy. Without a healthy body, what you do now is making no sense.
