Maintain a steady eating pattern; and 6. Catch 'slips' before they turn into bigger problems. |

| Salsa Summer Fresca | Category: Dips
Description: Tomatoes are best in the summer months. Although tomatoes are now available year-round, the truly wonderful qualities of tomatoes are the best when they are in season from July through September.
In the area of food and phytonutrient research, nothing has been hotter in the last several years than studies on the lycopene in tomatoes. This carotenoid found in tomatoes (and everything made from them) has been extensively studied for its antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties. The antioxidant function of lycopene-its ability to help protect cells and other structures in the body from oxygen damage-has been linked in human research to the protection of DNA (our genetic material) inside of white blood cells.
Prevention of heart disease, Colon Health, and in Prostate Health has been shown to be another antioxidant role played by lycopene.
Tomatoes have been shown to be helpful in reducing the risk of prostate cancer.
With fresh ingredients, salsa has the perfect combination of spicy and refreshing tastes. Paired with some chips or added to a wrap, salsa is a great, healthy snack. | | Full Recipe |
