Eat More Fruits: An Apple, Peach and Pear a Day Keep the Doctor Away
-- Fruits and Vegetable Weigh-In: Because fruits, vegetables and
tomatoes are rich in fiber and water, they fill you up with fewer
calories. Studies show that when people simply start eating more
fruits and vegetables, they spontaneously eat fewer calories. In
addition, almost all fruits and vegetables are fat-free.
-- Go Big Orange: Orange fruits such as peaches, apricots and
Mandarin oranges are a good source of Vitamin A, which has the
potential to reduce the risk of cancer, may prevent cardiovascular
disease, and may improve vision and reduce cataract formation.
-- "C"ing is Believing: Grapefruit and pineapple are a good source of
Vitamin C, which is helpful for asthma, may reduce the risk of
heart disease and cataracts, and may also help prevent cancer.
-- Did You Know: From Fruit Naturals(R) single serve cups of Red
Grapefruit and Pineapple Chunks to Orchard Select(R) and
Sunfresh(R) glass jars of Apricot Halves, Citrus Salad and
Peaches to a wide range of fruits in cans and plastic cups,
Del Monte's fruit products offer a convenient way to get
important nutrients such as Vitamins A and C at home or on
the go. New products like Del Monte(R) No Sugar Added peaches,
pears and fruit cocktail provides all of the wholesome
nutrition and great taste that you would expect from Del Monte
- with 50% - 70% fewer calories and sugar vs. fruit in heavy
syrup.
Eat More Vegetables: Power-up Your Pantry with Healthy Vegetables
-- Get a Little Corny: Canned corn may be healthier for you than corn
on the cob, according to a study by Cornell University scientists.
The study shows that heat processing of sweet corn increases both
total antioxidant activity and the level of lutein - a naturally
occurring type of phytochemical found in many fruits and
vegetables that may help to fight disease and may help to preserve
eyesight.
-- Fiber, Bundled with Nutrients: Health authorities recommend
getting more fiber by eating fruits and vegetables and whole
grains that may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
-- Closing the Nutrient Gap: To close the gap for Vitamins A and C,
potassium, magnesium, and fiber, focus on dark leafy greens
(like spinach), dark orange vegetables (like carrots) and beans
(like kidney and black beans).

Monte(R) Summer Crisp Corn to Del Monte(R) Organic Green Beans
to Del Monte(R) Zucchini in Tomato Sauce offer consumers the
ultimate in convenience and nutrition and are available
year-round. Many are picked and packed within hours of
harvesting - locking in the natural nutrition - and are
already sliced, diced and seasoned. In addition, many Del
Monte vegetables are seasoned with table salt - only for
flavor. Several are available in low-salt and no-salt
alternatives.
Eat More Tomatoes: The Power of Red
-- You Say Tomato: Tomatoes contain lycopene, an important carotenoid,
which may help protect against prostate cancer and heart disease.
Research indicates that heat from cooking or canning makes the
lycopene in tomatoes more available to your body. As a result,
processed tomato products such as canned tomatoes and sauces are
among the best food sources of lycopene.
-- Did You Know: Tomato products from Del Monte(R) Petite Diced
Tomatoes to Del Monte(R) Stewed Tomatoes to Del Monte(R) Basil
Garlic Oregano Diced Tomatoes are a great source of nutrition
and the key to many quick and convenient recipes.
