Further Food Commentary:
Spaghetti squash is a great alternative to white pasta. It’s naturally rich in vitamin B6, something that gets removed from refined flour and added back in an artificial form. Vitamin B6 is crucial for the production of serotonin and dopamine, two feel-good hormones. It also contains one-fourth of the carbohydrate load and has 80% fewer calories than white pasta.
Tomatoes are rich in carotenoids, pigments that not only provide yellow-orange-red colors to fruits and vegetables, but also provide a high dose of antioxidant potential. Cooked tomatoes are highest in lycopene, potent in the fight against cancers, especially prostate. They also contain the three, antioxidant vitamins, C, E and the precursor to A, beta-carotene.
