生活百科：健康饮食系列之二十三——食用顶尖美食，打造男性健康

STEP 1 Eat raw beets 吃生甜菜

Eat raw beets. Make a salad by combing the beet, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl. It's a great source of betaine and folate.

Cooking beets will decrease their antioxidant power, so stick with raw.

STEP 2 Use red wine vinegar and oil 使用红酒醋和油

Trade the store-bought salad dressing for homemade. Drizzle a little red wine vinegar and canola oil over your salad. The vinegar contains antioxidants, and the canola oil will help lower cholesterol.

STEP 3 Eat cabbage 吃卷心菜

Top your sandwich with a piece of cabbage, or add shredded cabbage to a salad. 1 cup of cabbage contains only 22 calories.

STEP 4 Eat a guava 吃番石榴

Put guava on your shopping list. The antioxidants in guava help fight prostate cancer. It is also high in fiber and the rind has more vitamin C than the flesh of an orange.

STEP 5 Drink green tea 喝绿茶

Drink 4 8-ounce cups of green tea a day to help fight prostate cancer cells, arthritis, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

STEP 6 Sprinkle cinnamon 撒肉桂

Sprinkle cinnamon on your oatmeal or in your coffee. Studies show that adding cinnamon to your diet may help reduce your blood sugar level and cholesterol.

STEP 7 Grab a beer 来罐啤酒

Grab a beer. Studies show that drinking 1 beer a day (and no more) can lower your risk of developing kidney stones. Now you know that you are getting enough power foods in your diet.

Kidney stones are most common in men ages 40 and up.
