Summer superfoods with healthy dishes

Posted on Jun 20th 2007 12:00PM by Adams Briscoe
Summertime is just brimming with fresh fruits and vegetables that are loaded with health benefits. From tomatoes to squash, there are many different dishes that take advantage of these summer superfoods. Tanya Zuckerbrot of the F-Factor Diet shares her expertise in this area and tells us which dishes are the best.

Sliced tomatoes with balsamic vinegar sound exquisite. With so much color and taste, it's no wonder you can serve them raw, steamed, stewed, crushed or fried (my favorite!). What's so good about them anyway? Tomatoes are packed with elements which protect against heart disease, cancer and strokes.

Blueberries are another summer superfood that can be added to many things. Mix it with your cereal or salads for a boost of antioxidants. This fruit is famous for helping fight free radicals in our bodies (say that four times fast). These rogue substances damage cells and DNA, so any help from blueberries is appreciated. These are just a couple of the dishes, so read on for the rest.
