New Year’s diet need a boost?
While I gave up on the New Year’s diet years ago, I am well aware that the time-honored tradition continues to be popular among women. I, myself, practiced the ritual for years, until the realization hit that, rather than reduce my waistline, the loss of cheese was driving me mad. What can I say, I’m a fromageophile. For those women, who may be slightly more disciplined in their diets, here is a list of foods I found here. These foods and spices may give your ordinary New Year’s diet a boost. A small sampling of the list includes:
— Beets — a rich source of folate.
— Swiss chard — a leafy vegetable packed with carotenoids that protect aging eyes.
— Cabbage — loaded with nutrients like sulforaphane, a chemical said to boost cancer-fighting enzymes.
— Tumeric — a spice that may have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
