Oranges
• Oranges are highly valued for their vitamin C content.
• They are the primary source of vitamin C for most Americans.
• However, oranges are also a good source of: folacin, calcium, potassium, thiamin,
niacin, and magnesium.
• The juice contains more vitamin C per serving than does the whole fruit.
• However orange juice does not contain fiber, whereas the fruit does.
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits contain photochemical called flavonoids.
The flavonoid hesperidins was first described about two centuries ago.
Research throughout past years has confirmed that hesperidins is an
anti-inflammatory agent used to treat many conditions.
Hesperidins blocks an enzyme involved in an inflammatory reaction such as the release of histamine.
Citrus Flavonoids & Cancer
Research has shown that citrus flavonoids
and their metabolites are potent antioxidants. It is believed that they are able to suppress many of the events of cancer and
inflammation which involve reactive oxygen species.
Some of the flavonoids in citrus fruits such as tangerine and orange are the most potent cancer fighting compounds, particularly against lung and prostate cancer cells.
The cultivation of apples
Originally from of East Asia, the apple tree is now
grown extensively in China, the United States, Russia, Europe (especially Italy and France).
Apples are available on the market almost all year round;
1. summer varieties, as Summered, Royal Gala
and Ozark Gold,
2. Autumn varieties, such as Golden Delicious, Stark Delicious, Emperor, Jonathan, Fuji, Renetta Canada, Granny Smith, Starking and Starkrimson.

Berries
An Overview
Berries are one of the nation’s most
well liked fruits.
Berries are believed to have been first
incorporated into the diets and lifestyles of Native Americans.
Traditionally, when we think of berries,
we think of things like blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and
blackberries, but there are also other varieties such as cranberries,
Berries
Nutritional Value
1. Many berries are suitable to eat raw after rinsing and most types of berries vary from 50 to 100 calories per serving when eaten raw.
2. Berries are loaded with: vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
3. All berries with strong red and blue colors have phytochemicals that can potentially reduce cancer rates and other chronic diseases.
4. Oxygen radical absorptive capacity (ORAC), is a way to measure the antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables.
THE GROWING OF STRAWBERRY
• Worldwide, the last three years, the
production of strawberries is attested around 2.5 million tones, the largest producers are the United States,
Poland, Japan, Spain, Italy, Russia
and Korea. In Italy this crop covers an area of approximately 6,000

Strawberries
• Because of the antioxidant power found in strawberries,
regular consumption of this fruit has been shown to have the potential to lower one’s risk of heart disease.
• In addition, studies have shown that strawberries are involved in inhibiting inflammatory. This reduces the
inflammatory response that is involved in the etiology of many diseases.
Strawberries
Recent Findings
Studies on two antioxidant compounds in strawberries
(ellagic acid and quercetin) have demonstrated that these substances:
1. Have anticancer activity
2. Work to block the initiation of carcinogenesis 3. Suppress progression and proliferation of tumors

Nuts
Overview
In 2003, the U.S. FDA approved this package label:
“Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5
ounces per day of most nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.”
According to FDA, "Types of nuts eligible for this claim are
restricted to almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, pecans, some pine nuts, pistachio nuts and walnuts..”
Nuts
Nutritional Value
Nuts are important for what they don’t offer:
1. Nuts do not contain cholesterol.
2. Nuts only contain trace amounts of sodium.
(Unless it has been added to the nuts during processing)
Nuts are usually thought of as a high fat food. Although, this is true–
nuts are high in fat-- it is not the same as animal fat. Nuts are mostly high in heart-healthy unsaturated fats, the fats that lower your bad
The Importance of Specifc
Nuts
Walnuts
One ounce of walnuts (about 14 shelled walnut halves) is all that is needed
to meet the 2002 dietary recommendations for omega-3 FA. The type of omega-3 FA found in walnuts is alpha-linolenic acid, which can be
transformed into either EPA or DHA in humans and animals.
Almonds
One ounce of almonds (about 20-24 shelled whole almonds) provides 35%
of the daily value for vitamin E.
Peanuts
Although it is often discussed with nuts, peanuts are actually a legume,
along with dry beans, peas and lentils. One ounce of roasted peanuts provides about 10% of the daily value for folate.
The Importance of
Specifc Nuts
As discussed earlier, omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid
found in walnuts and other sources included) help to decrease one’s risk for CVD.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant and is important in that it is
believed to help promote healthy aging. A recent study has also suggested that a diet rich in foods containing vitamin E may help protect some against the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Folate is a B vitamin that has been recognized for some time
now, particularly for women of childbearing age, as it is believed to help reduce the incidence of birth defects and lower the risk of heart disease.
