| Drumstick |
Alan Aragon M.S., a
California-based nutritionist says “The extra fat in
dark turkey or chicken meat raises your levels of cholecystokinin (CCK), a
hormone that makes you feel fuller, longer,”. The benefit: You'll be less likely to overeat in
the hours that follow your meal. What about your cholesterol? Only a third of
the fat in a turkey drumstick is the saturated kind. (The other two-thirds are
heart-healthy unsaturated fats.) What's more, 86 percent of that saturated fat
either has no impact on cholesterol, or raises HDL (“good”) cholesterol more
than LDL (“bad”) cholesterol—a result that actually lowers your heart-disease
risk.

| Ketchup |
There are two things you need to know about tomatoes: red
are the best, because they’re packed with more of the antioxidant lycopene; and
processed tomatoes are just as potent as fresh ones, because it’s easier for
the body to absorb the lycopene. Studies show that a diet rich in lycopene can
decrease your risk of coronary artery disease. It took people just one glass of tomato juice and 2 tablespoons of
ketchup every day for 3 weeks to cut LDL cholesterol levels by an average of
8.5 percent, according to a study in the
British
Journal of Nutrition.
