Are you tired of spinach, bored with broccoli? If so, read further for
some tips for Thanksgiving from the Baylor Health System. These
experts say there's a new generation of superfoods that promise to do
double or triple-duty when it comes to preventing illness. Now is the
time to think about how you can integrate some of these new superfoods
into your Thanksgiving meal planning.

At the top of the list is Kiwi fruit, a wonderful addition to a fruit
salad. "In a recent study, kiwi was found to be one of the most
nutritionally dense fruits out of 27 fruits," says Stephanie Dean,
R.D., dietitian with Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas,
Texas.

Kiwis are full of antioxidants, vitamin E and lutein. They ward off
vision problems, blood clots, and even lower cholesterol-almost as
effectively as the second new superfood on the list, barley.

"The USDA found that barley specifically could lower your LDL or 'bad'
cholesterol by 17.4 percent which is a phenomenal percentage," adds
Dean. Barley, a type of wheat, can be added to soups or even eaten
instead of oatmeal for breakfast.

Next on the list is a traditional Thanksgiving favorite, cranberries,
which continue to receive lots of attention in the medical press for
their health benefits.

"The crimson color of cranberries signal that they are full of
flavonoids," explains Dean. Flavonoids are high in antioxidants and
they help prevent everything from infections to strokes and cancer.

Next, the Baylor doctors recommend a different type of drink for
Thanksgiving day, Kefir.

"Kefir is a wonderful source of calcium. Every eight ounce glass has
about 300 milligrams which is a little less than one-third of the
recommended daily intake for adults," says Dean. Kefir not only
contains just as much calcium as milk, but also a huge serving of
beneficial probiotic bacteria. More so than yogurt!

Lastly, the final superfood recommendation is a cousin to an old
healthy food we've all eaten at Thanksgiving. This time, make it
broccoli sprouts.

"Broccoli sprouts have been shown to actually contain 20 percent more
anti-cancer agents than regular broccoli," says Dean. These sprouts
are sold by the package and can be thrown on top of salads or can be a
great addition to leftover Turkey sandwiches after the holiday.

My wife pointed out when reading this that Barley is a "cereal grain
similar to wheat" but not technically a "type of wheat" as I wrote
here.

Anyway, she made a barley/mushroom soup last night that was to die
for!

Cod-liver oil! Now that's a 'real' superfood. Though the past week, I've
been enjoying it every day.

Are there barley cereals out there (ready to eat)? I love barley in
beef vegetable soup.

We had that daily when I was a youngster - I don't recall that it was
really a terrible-tasting thing, just odd. I can recall the taste now
pretty well. I think I'll just get some fish oil capsules. ;-)

It comes up on me -- however, they do add (in the brand I'm taking) a
lemon-lime flavor which doesn't make it toooo bad the second time up --
:-))

Nancy,

I tried a breakfast cereal called "Banana Nut Barley," which I think
came from Whole Foods. It was pretty awful. But, that's purely a
personal taste comment. My wife seemed to enjoy it.

You're right - Omega 3 fish oils are fantastic, and that Cod Liver Oil
is the king of that product category. But, you can't do much cooking
with Cod Liver Oil, eh? Imagine frying up some hash browns in the
morning in a pan with some Cod Liver Oil . . .

No, I wouldn't cook with it -- I would just use it as a dessert or a
condiment. ;-)))

Sounds awful - I can't eat nuts, so that's out.
