Greening Men

If it's green fibrous and doesn't taste like meat, men won't eat it. Sometimes, even the poor red tomato and orange or carrot fails the test that white and red meat always passes with flying colours. Most males are self-professed carnivores who refuse to touch their vegetables even if you tell them it can prevent cancer of the colon, heart disease and obesity.

Short of turning vegetarian, men can still fill up on vegetable if they know how to pick and cook the right meals. Here, we show you how easy it is to get those vegetables into your food without feeling like you're munching on grass.

Play Hide and Seek

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an anti-cancer nutrient that helps protect against heart disease and stomach cancer. Men who eat 10 portions of tomato based food every week can help reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer by up to 45%.

New research also suggest that tomatoes can help prevent lung cancer as two compounds found in tomatoes are said to block the effects of carcinogens found in tobacco smoke.

If you don't like the taste of tomatoes, hide them in between slices of healthy whole-meals bread in a lean chicken sandwich. Or have a bowl of pasta covered in loads of lycopene-rich tomato sauce.

Roasted Pepper Rock

Most men can't cook but they sure can make a mean barbecue. Amidst the sausages, lamb and chicken wings roasted on the rack, throw in a few red peppers (capsicum). When the skin of the peppers start to turn black, peel them away to reveal the sweet, juicy flesh beneath.

Red peppers are rich in beta carotene and vitamin C, which help to promote healthy skin and hair and prevent colds. Beta carotene also reduces the possibility of fat depositing itself in the blood vessels.

If you run out of tomatoes to put in your sandwich, try substituting them with roasted red peppers. Red peppers also taste delicious in spring rolls. If you're feeling adventurous, have a bowl of noodles with chicken, cashew nuts and red peppers.

Booster Shot

Night blindness can be caused by lack of beta carotene helps you to build up your immune system and protect your body against infections diseases.

Carrots help replace the loss of Vitamin C caused by stress, cigarette smoke and pollution. In ancient Greek times, men drank carrot juice to increase their sexual appetite.

If you don't like munching on carrots a la Bugs Bunny, try replenishing your body with carrot juice mixed with orange or apple after a gym workout.

Play Popeye

Spinach will won't help you grow instant muscles like Popeye but it will help you maintain healthy blood and muscles. Spinach is one of the richest plant sources of iron and can help prevent anaemia which is caused by an insufficient intake of iron. Vitamin-C rich spinach also helps reduce eye infections and disorder like dry, irritated eyes. This dark green leafy vegetable is also helpful if you suffered from discoloured, irregular shaped nails. Spinach contains folate which gives nails that healthy, pink sheen and prevents white spots.

Order Pizza

Whenever they feel a sniffle coming on, the French always turn to their homemade recipe of hot onions aren't just found in soups, they're everywhere in pizzas, flans, salads, quiche and even baked fish.

Onions are also said to slow down the aging process and inhabit the natural breakdown of bone, helping to prevent against osteoporosis. The humble bulb also contains natural antiseptic and antibiotics properties that help repair tissue and cell damage in the skin.

The Goodness of Greens

Vegetables are rich in fibre and vitamins, nutrition-rich ingredients that help prevent free-radical damage within the body. This lessens your risk of developing cancer and helps preserve your youth as it boosts the formations of skin collagen and elastin fibres.
