Green grapes contain higher amounts than red and purple grapes. Grapes contain phytonutrients called resveratrol (found in the grapes skin) and proanthocyanidins (found in grape seeds). Some scientists believe these phytonutrients may help prevent age-related conditions such as Parkinsons and Alzheimers disease, inflammation, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Super VeggiesStrive for 4-8 servings of vegetables a day. One serving equals one cup raw greens such as spinach or lettuce or cup chopped raw or cooked vegetables.

Eat cruciferous vegetables at least three times a week and other vegetables on the list as much as possible.Super VeggiesCruciferous vegetables Broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, and turnip greensCruciferous vegetables have cancer-fighting compounds.

HomeBackNextExerciseThe American Heart Association recommends adults engage in 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. Physical activity is anything that makes you move and burn calories, such as walking, running, swimming, climbing stairs or playing sports. Physical activity prolongs good health. Without it, the body slowly loses its strength, stamina and ability to function well. And for each hour of regular exercise, you'll gain about two hours of additional life expectancy.

FINAL ROUNDWhat kind of fat should you avoid eating?Monosaturated fatMultisaturated fatPolyunsaturated fatTrans fatHomeDirectionsQuestion BoardWhole GrainsWhole grains, such as whole-wheat flour and brown rice, have more fiberthan refined white flour and white rice. You cannot tell if a food contains whole grains based on its color. For example, bread can appear brown because of molasses or other ingredients, not necessarily because it contains whole grains. It is important to read food label ingredient lists to determine if a product contains whole grains. For many whole-grain products, you will see the words whole or whole grain before the grains name in the ingredient list. The whole grain should be the first ingredient listed. Dont confuse whole grains with refined grains. Refined grains have been processed and much of the original fiber is removed. Some examples of refined grains include enriched bread, wheat flour, and white rice.
