Health Notes with Dr. Liz

Dr Liz: Summer Munchies

Summer — this is a great time of year to indulge in an abundance of fresh produce. To help you choose the best of the season, here are a few of our top picks from the produce aisle:

• Apricots: Three lusciously sweet apricots supply almost 80 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin A as beta carotene, which helps promote both eye and heart health.
• Berries: Raspberries, marionberries and other summertime berries are sweet nutritional delights with each one-cup serving supplying over 50 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin C, along with the minerals manganese and potassium, needed for heart health.
• Cherries: These sweet orbs contain the same anthocyanidin compounds as blueberries, giving this fruit its strong antioxidant capacity, helpful in fending off age-related diseases like cancer.
• Corn: This must-have summer vegetable comes with a wealth of nutrients, notably folate, a B vitamin that is crucial for a healthy pregnancy and protecting your heart and circulation.
• Nectarines: One medium-sized juicy nectarine has a mere 60 calories and comes loaded with potassium, vitamin C and carotenes (orange-colored pigment). All of these nutrients are key in supporting heart health and a strong immune system.
• Peaches: A fuzzy relative of nectarines, peaches supply an orange-red pigment called lutein that studies show helps protect eyes from age-related damage.
• Plums: Deep red and purpled-colored plums contain phenols, which studies show protect against oxidative damage that may lead to degenerative disease, including Alzheimer’s and cancer.
• Heirloom Tomatoes: Abundant in the summer in all shapes and colors, these tomatoes provide a wealth of colorful pigments that act as potent cancer fighters. Regular consumption of tomatoes and tomato products, such as tomato sauce, may help lower prostate cancer risk.
