Watermelon, Cherries, and Sweet Corn, Oh, My!
RealAge supercharges summer health with bounty of fresh food tips
San Diego, CA, July 18, 2008 -- Backyard badminton and hours of “Marco Polo” in the pool will get muscles working and hearts pumping this summer. Yet, health seekers can easily self-sabotage with too many grilled burgers or too much saltwater taffy.
That’s why RealAge, the nation’s leading health and wellness Web site, is offering a bounty of picnic-perfect nutrition strategies this summer. Millions of members receive RealAge’s daily tips, which tout the disease-fighting assets of summer favorites like watermelon, sweet corn, and cherries. Who knew that beyond its seed-spitting fun, watermelon bolsters the body’s production of arginine, an amino acid that promotes joint health, wound healing, and a dewy complexion?
RealAge experts Michael Roizen, MD, and Mehmet Oz, MD, authors of numerous best-sellers, including YOU: The Owner’s Manual, offer ways the body’s warranty can be extended by focusing on healthy eating and exercise habits. By taking the patented RealAge Test (www.RealAge.com), visitors can determine their body’s biological age -- versus their calendar age -- and how to reduce their RealAge with personalized food and fitness strategies.
Want to fill your cooler with the tastiest, healthiest summer fare? RealAge recommends:
- Sweet corn, tomatoes, and rice bran, all of which contain ferulic acid, a phytochemical that, among other benefits, thwarts inflammation and prevents plaque buildup in artery walls.
- Cherries contain anthocyanins, potent compounds that may guard against the brain-cell death associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
- Watermelon increases the body’s level of lycopene, a nutrient that may help fight heart disease and cancer.
