Cranberries
A cousin of the blueberry, this very tart, bright red berry can still be found growing wild as a shrub, but when cultivated, is grown on low trailing vines in great sandy bogs. The American cranberry, the variety most cultivated in the northern United States and southern Canada, produces a larger berry than the wild cranberry or the European variety. Cranberries have long been valued for their ability to help prevent and treat urinary tract infections. Now, recent studies suggest that this native American berry may also promote gastrointestinal and oral health, prevent the formation of kidney stones, lower LDL and raise HDL good cholesterol, aid in recovery from stroke, and even help prevent cancer. Fresh cranberries, which contain the highest levels of beneficial nutrients, are at their peak from October through December, just in time to add their festive hue, tart tangy flavor and numerous health protective effects to your holiday meals. When cranberries short fresh season is ...

Cabbage
Sturdy, abundant and inexpensive, cabbage is a longstanding dietary staple throughout the world and is so widely cultivated and stores so well that it is available throughout the year. However, it is at its best during the late fall and winter months when it is in season. Cabbage is round in shape with layers of superimposed leaves with the inner leaves often lighter in color than the outer leaves because they are protected from the sunlight. They belong to the Cruciferae family of vegetables along with kale, broccoli, collards and Brussels sprouts.

Boost your own distance and durability with Vijay Singh's golfer's workout
Vijay Singh spends lots of time in the public eye -- contending for titles nine wins last year, accepting checks nearly $11 million in 2004, and battling Tiger Woods for the worlds number-one ranking.

Singhs high-intensity regimen features twice-a-day workouts with golf-specific moves that hone his physical, mental, and tactical game.

You have to do it by working out, getting strong. Singhs trainer, Joey Diovisalvi, C.S.C.S., designs workouts to focus on rotational power and flexibility. The following three ...

Apples
The warm scent and flavor of baking apples is a sure sign that fall is just around the corner. In the Northern Hemisphere apples are in season from late summer to early winter. However, many varieties are available year round because they have been either kept in cold storage or imported from the Southern Hemisphere. Apples are crisp, white-fleshed fruits with red, yellow or green skin. They range in taste from moderately sweet and refreshing to pleasantly tart depending on the variety. The apple is a member of the rose family, with a compartmentalized core that classifies it as a pome fruit.

Golf Swing
The body of the typical weekend golfer looks more like Fuzzy Zoellers than David Duvals. But often the Fuzziest member of a foursome hits it longer than the leanest, fittest one. In golf, flexibility means more than muscles and strength. It all comes down to those words you hear golf announcers whisper on Sundays: shoulder turn, load the right side, weight shift, clear the hips. A golf workout must focus on flexibility and resemble the golf swing, says Neil Chasan, a physical therapist and author of Total Conditioning for Golfers. The biggest limitation for amateurs is a lack of shoulder turn, he says. As you age, the muscles closest to your spine become stiffer. The exercise below can increase your spines range of motion and lead to a fuller shoulder turn. And more yards. SPINE ROTATION STRETCH Stand with your back to a wall and your heels about 6 inches away from it. Keeping your feet flat, turn your body to the right so that you can place both hands on the wall. Ease ...

Exotic Rides: Lexus IS F
In the not-so-distant past, there was a time when the Toyota Motor Corporation’s amenity-laden American affiliate, Lexus, was heavily scrutinized -- not for the grade of the vehicles produced, as most car manufacturers are, but for the catalog itself. This barrage of criticism was spurred by the complete absence of a single performance model rolling off of Lexus assembly lines. Enter the Lexus Intelligent Sport series -- code name: IS. Although the first two generations of 200/300 and 250/350 were well received and a formidable foray into the arena of high-output luxury sedans, rivals like Infiniti, Mercedes, Acura, and specifically BMW were beefing up their offerings to previously unheard of proportions, putting the heat on Lexus to remain competitive. And Lexus took on the challenge with gusto -- thank the vehicular lords. If the IS 430 prototype was to serve as any indication of Lexus performance capabilities, not even that could prepare us for the unveiling of the supremely ...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady joked on Saturday about the lingering effects of his ankle injury from late last season. “The ankle feels great and I’ve been able to do pretty much everything that I normally do, the NFLs Most Valuable Player told Patriots.com following the second day of the three-day mandatory minicamp. I’m still slow, I can’t jump and I don’t lift very much. That hasn’t changed,” he said with a smile.

Brown rice
In some parts of the world, the word to eat literally means to eat rice. All varieties of rice are available throughout the year, supplying as much as half of the daily calories for half of the worlds population. The process that produces brown rice removes only the outermost layer, the hull, of the rice kernel and is the least damaging to its nutritional value. The complete milling and polishing that converts brown rice into white rice destroys 67% of the vitamin B3, 80% of the vitamin B1, 90% of the vitamin B6, half of the manganese, half of the phosphorus, 60% of the iron, and all of the dietary fiber and essential fatty acids. Fully milled and polished white rice is required to be enriched with vitamins B1, B3 and iron.

Papaya
Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, it is no wonder the papaya was reputably called the fruit of the angels by Christopher Columbus. Once considered quite exotic, they can now be found in markets throughout the year. Although there is a slight seasonal peak in early summer and fall, papaya trees produce fruit year round. Papayas are spherical or pear-shaped fruits that can be as long as 20 inches. The ones commonly found in the market usually average about 7 inches and weigh about one pound. Their flesh is a rich orange color with either yellow or pink hues. Inside the inner cavity of the fruit are black, round seeds encased in a gelatinous-like substance. Papayas seeds are edible, although their peppery flavor is somewhat bitter. The fruit, as well as the other parts of the papaya tree, contain papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. This enzyme is especially concentrated in the fruit when it is unripe. Papain is extracted to make ...
