"Substitute a soy "meat" product for the meat ingredient in casseroles, stews, tacos, chili, etc. þBreak out a can of beans. There's such a wide variety, and beans make great meat-replacers because they are supersatisfying, with high amounts of protein and fiber. You might not notice the meat's missing in a nice chili or vegetable stew bursting with beans. þTry a veggie potpie featuring potatoes, peas, mushrooms, and any other vegetables with vegetarian gravy and pie crust (if desired). þMake Mexican dishes (burritos, nachos, enchiladas, etc." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"A: Some of my favorite foods are barbecued spareribs and corn-bread with butter, corn chips with salsa, chocolate, commercial peanut butter, and old-fashioned chili made of red meat covered with cheese. But these also give me indigestion, gas, and heartburn. I look for ways to make my favorite foods healthier. You may want to try the following ideas: ?Make barbecued spareribs without gobs of commercial sauce loaded with salt, sugar, butter, and vinegar; instead, use a spicy sauce of pineapple juice or honey, citrus, and chili pepper. ?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"That's good for the chili, because the digestive systems of mammals destroy its small seeds, a process that pretty much takes the point out of the gastronomic hitchhike. Birds, on the other hand, don't destroy chili seeds when they eat chili peppers—and they aren't affected by capsaicin. So mammals leave the peppers for the birds, and the birds take the seeds to the air, spreading them along the way. Capsaicin is a sticky poison—it adheres to mucous membranes, which is why your eyes burned if you ever rubbed them after handling peppers." - Dr. Sharon Moalem, Survival of the Sickest: A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease (Get the book.)

"However, one study found that capsaicin, the pungent ingredient in cayenne (page 654) or chili pepper, protected against aspirin-induced gastritis in healthy persons. When people ate chili pepper followed by 600 mg of aspirin, stomach injury was considerably less than in people who took only aspirin.6 The researchers of this study speculate that chili pepper helps by increasing blood flow to the stomach. Capsaicin has also been shown to protect against alcohol-induced gastritis in rats,7 though this has yet to be tested in humans." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V.

"Make chili with lean, ground round (or turkey breast), fewer beans, and no-salt-added canned tomatoes. Top with cilantro and guacamole instead of cheese. Unfortunately, some foods are impossible to "healthy up." Examples are processed meats such as hot dogs and cheese dips. Eat these bad boys no more than two or three times a year; July Fourth, the Super Bowl, and a free pass. Just because a meal is an old family favorite doesn't make it great for your health. Q: Why do so many people in industrialized countries have D deficiencies when these people have better access to good foods?" - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"As evening came and the dinner crowd made the restaurant too noisy to talk, he'd finish the cheeseburger and bowl of chili that he'd nursed for hours, and I'd take him home. One day when Grandpa was sitting across from me at our favorite table, he suddenly leaned toward me and just slumped over onto the table. He was fully awake and conscious. His eyes were clear, he could speak perfectly, and for all intents and purposes, everything else seemed fine. He just couldn't sit upright in his chair." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"Irritancy (Capsaicin) Interest in the association between irritancy and body weight stems from observations in animal and human trials that capsaicin, the primary compound responsible for the burn of red chili peppers, elicits responses potentially linked to energy balance. The human trials alone suggest that ingestion of the compound stimulates the sympathetic nervous system resulting in elevated thermogenesis [67]; enhances fat [68, 69] and carbohydrate [70, 71] oxidation; promotes satiety [72]; and reduces postprandial insulin concentrations [73], hunger [67], and energy intake [67]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "For example, administration of 3g of chili and mustard sauces to the meals of 12 individuals resulted in a 25% increment of thermogenesis over a 180-minute period [79]. This was noted in several subsequent human trials focusing specifically on capsaicin. In one instance, the ingestion of 10 g of red pepper (-30 mg capsaicin) led to an increase of thermogenesis for the subsequent 30 minutes, but this returned to baseline for the subsequent 120 minutes of the study. [71]. This effect was blocked by treatment with propranolol, indicating it was attributable to beta-adrenergic stimulation." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"If you want a little spice, add chili pepper or some grated jalapeno pepper. Because citrus is a great natural meat tenderizer, you can use this to marinate your meats and vegetables when cooking. Fix jars of different flavors of marinades, and store in the refrigerator. Get your kids involved so they're on the bandwagon of better eating. Do lots of experimentation with your food so you can discover new ways to eat good foods that suit your palate. Sampling Vegetables Many of us didn't like vegetables when we were kids, and we still don't." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Other dietary factors that may also affect the expression of genes important in apoptosis include organosulfur compounds from foods from the allium family, including garlic, polyphenols from green tea, chocolate, and chili peppers, and isothiocyanates from cruciferous vegetables [54]. VI. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Understanding of the role of genes in cancer and in particular the role of the interactions of diet with genes in this disease process is a relatively new and rapidly expanding field of inquiry." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"This category includes kidney, navy, chili beans, garbanzo beans, peas, lima beans, soybeans, and peanuts. 6. Nuts: This group includes, for example, walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and Brazil nuts. 7. Cheese: Here I'm referring to hard and soft cheeses of all kinds except cottage cheese, which falls into the meat category. Cottage cheese is lower in acid but provides only about half as much protein as lean meat per equivalent serving. 8. Fruits: The fruit group includes all kinds of whole fruits, including canned and fruit juices." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Pop open a bag of washed salad, add some chili on top or on the side, and grab a few fruits for dessert. How could designing a filling and satisfying lunch or dinner be simpler? You can also purchase salsa dips in a jar ?those made without oil ?at the health-food store.

You can make it more spicy, or milder merely by leaving out chili peppers and adding some finely chopped scallions, red onions, parsley, or mint and some lemon or lime juice." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"You ask for some cayenne pepper plants, some hot chili peppers, any kind of hot chili peppers will work. If you can get the plants already started, you can have chili peppers in 30-40 days. Then you can just chop them up and make your own tincture; dry them, powder them after they're dried, then you can have a whole year s worth of cayenne pepper off 3 or 4 chili plants. You can buy them for about a buck apiece in a nursery. Yes, the second herb would be ginkgo.
