Foods rich in lycopene (includes apricots, red bell peppers & rosehip) Lycopene is a natural compound used to color foods and one of the carotenid family. Lycopene is behind the dark red color of some fruits and vegetables. Intrestingly, unlike many nutrients, it is not damaged if it is cooked, but is in actuality enhanced by going through the cooking process. . Its most valuable advantage is that it is an antioxidant and appears to help reduce the risks of developing cancer. Lycopene is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to curtail the growth of atherosclerosis. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed the south beach diet for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed study of scientific studies on other diets. "good" foods include, veal cutlets, chicken breast, oysters, low or fat free cheeses, pistachios, nonfat milk and some vegatables, like butter beans, eggplant and turnips. |
