Even Red States and Blue States Can Agree on This Challenge
RealAge and American Cancer Society ask the U.S. to accept major lifestyle change
San Diego, CA, September 12, 2008 -- Let the Republicans and Democrats scuffle over which presidential candidate will bring change to Washington. In the meantime, RealAge.com and the American Cancer Society (ACS) have teamed up to promote a sweeping change in the American lifestyle.
RealAge, the nation's leading health and wellness Web site, is promoting a campaign to help Americans lose weight, feel younger, and reduce their risk of cancer. In the "Great American Eat Right Challenge," created by the ACS, citizens are invited to take control of their weight, sharpen their healthy shopping and dining acumen, and make everyday meals leaner.
RealAge's advisers and best-selling authors Michael Roizen, MD, and Mehmet Oz, MD, have long touted disease prevention as a path to living longer and feeling younger. Like the American Cancer Society, the YOU: On a Diet authors recommend that Americans:
- Eat five cancer-fighting fruits and vegetables a day. Nine handfuls should be your daily fruit-and-veggie quota.
- Eat 10 tablespoons of cooked tomato products (ketchup, marinara sauce) a week for a healthy dose of the antioxidant lycopene, which may decrease the risk of prostate and other cancers.
- Reduce fat. Identify all the culprits with RealAge's "Eat Smart" video at http://www.realage.com/videos/healthy-eating/healthy-fats/.
- Spice things up with the potent antioxidants in sage, rosemary, marjoram, thyme, tarragon, cumin, ginger, and garlic.
