Salads and fries

    To deal with widespread criticism (and the
possibility of legal judgments) that their food is
making people obese, fast-food chains are testing
new health-conscious products in America. This fall
[5] McDonald’s, which has already introduced fruit packs
and salads in many of its international branches, is
testing a new adult version of its Happy Meal. The Go
Active meal includes salad, bottled water, a nutrition
booklet and a clip-on pedometer to encourage walking.
[10] Trying to be more extreme, Burger King last month
showed for the first time a line of Light Combo Meals

that come with a grilled chicken baguette, salad and
bottled water. The new food options are helpful, but
some salads, like McDonald’s Crispy Chicken Bacon
[15] Ranch Salad, can contain more fat than a Quarter
Pounder Hamburger. So, before you get in line, go
online to check calorie counts. Fast food doesn’t have
to mean fat food anymore.

The healing colors of fruit and veg

    We all know that it’s recommended that we eat
five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day, but
did you know that the color of the fruit and vegetables
you eat can also affect your health? “Recent research
[5] has discovered that the darker the fruit or vegetable
you eat, the higher its anti-cancer properties are likely
to be,” explains Ian Marber, one of the UK’s leading
nutritionists.
    New research at Glasgow University that compared
[10] the antioxidant levels in red and white grapes concluded
that the rosy-hued variety contain a far higher level of
beneficial chemicals than their white counterparts. The
reason for this is simple. Darker fruits and vegetables
develop their color to protect themselves from the
[15] damaging effect of the UV rays of the sun. As a result,
darker-skinned fruits and vegetables contain more
antioxidants — the healthy chemicals that are thought
to protect us from heart disease and cancer.
    When we eat these fruits and vegetables, our
[20] bodies absorb the antioxidants that help protect us from
the damaging free-radical chemicals caused by UV
exposure, pollution, stress and general daily damage.
    The best fruits include plums and red apples,
blackberries and blueberries. Darker vegetables
[25] include eggplants, carrots, kidney beans, tomatoes
and peppers. But it must be pointed out that all fruits —
including white grapes and green apples — have a high
level of antioxidants and offer a good source of fiber.
    To gain the full benefit from these antioxidant-rich
[30] foods, avoid peeling apples and plums, as it is this
part that contains the richest source of antioxidants,
and, wherever possible, try to eat them raw or very lightly
cooked.
